Michael Meng Obituary
He graduated from the University of Utah with a bachelor's in film, a passion that he enjoyed throughout his life and passed on to his children. After graduation, he was proud of his work in various positions for Continental Airlines. This career gave him the opportunity to take his wife and children on adventures to many wonderful places around the world. He was full of fun and laughter and was famous with friends and family for his contagious laugh that will be missed dearly by all who knew him. He made every holiday special and loved family traditions where he could spend time with his loved ones. Family was truly where his heart was. He loved learning and obtained knowledge about various subjects. He had a great knowledge of history and talent for renovating his homes. He shared a love of woodworking with his father.
He was a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and had a strong love for his Savior. He followed Christ's example of serving others and had a vast knowledge of scripture and the history of the church. He was known for his kindness and ability to be friendly to the lonely and hurting.

I am so sorry to hear about the passing of Michael Meng. Michael was my manager when I worked in the Marketing department at Continental Airlines. He was so humble and always talked about his family. I could not have known a nicer man! May the peace of the Lord surround you during this time. My thought and prayers are with the family.

I worked with Michael at CWT. We all became a new regrouped team during Covid-19 and Michael had a huge impact how well we started to work together and how close we became as a team. He was always so positive and kind. We will miss him!

Elder Meng and I were missionary companions while serving in Austin. He was "go and do" guy then and I´m sure that didn´t change in the years since then. May Heavens blessings be in abundance for his family

I worked with Michael at CWT. He reached out to me after I was diagnosed with lymphoma. He offered to listen whenever I wanted to discuss the burdens of cancer. I had never worked with someone else who was was a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Later-day Saints. He was caring and shy at work, but had a great attitude. We will miss him!
