San Luis Obispo, California - Mike Callahan, the first born of Bob and Pat Callahan and our older brother passed on May 31, 2021 at the age of 71. Mike passed at his home in the Philippines that he shared with his longtime companion Mimi after a 3-year battle with throat cancer.
Mike was born in Los Angeles February 20, 1950, moved to San Luis Obispo in 1965 and graduated from Mission Central Catholic High School in 1968. After a year spent at Santa Clara University, he transferred to UCSB, graduating there in 1972. He then began an adventurous life which took him first to San Francisco where he worked for the ACLU, then to Vancouver, BC where he worked as a consultant for an engineering company. He lived in Vancouver for many years eventually becoming partner in a Copper Mining company, a job that afforded him extensive international travel. In the early 1990's this job took him to the Philippines where he eventually moved full time. He eventually sold the mining company and semi-retired in his early 50's. He became a partner in a resort at Coral Beach in the Philippines where he enjoyed resort living and golfing. Mike was an avid reader and enjoyed socializing with family and friends and hosting golf tournaments for his international group of friends at the Coral Beach Resort. He lived life to the fullest and traveled the world always making time for golf. We will always remember his sarcastic wit and will dearly miss his visits home to the Central Coast.
Mike was predeceased by his Parents Bob & Pat and Sister Judy. He is survived by siblings Steve, Tom, Susan, Nancy, Bob, Carol, and many nieces & nephews. He is also survived by his companion Minerva (Mimi) Caseres and his extended Philippines family.
