Michael Schatz Obituary
On Tuesday, Aug. 12, 2008, a golden heart stopped beating. God broke our hearts to prove to us he only takes the best.
Michael is survived by his mother, Gloria; daughter, Suzanne; brother, Frank; uncle Richard-George in Australia; and numerous other relatives.
He left behind many loved ones and friends and he now resides in Hot Rod Heaven.
Dad - You were the best friend I've ever had. My favorite memories are of the time we spent together - you'll always be with me. I love you so much. Love, Suzanne
Michael - You were my favorite second son and you'll always be in my heart - Daisy will miss you, too. We know you're at peace.
Love Mom and Daisy
"When I'm gone just carry on, don't mourn
Rejoice every time you hear the sound of my voice
Just know that I'm looking down on you smiling
And I didn't feel a thing, so baby, don't feel no pain
Just smile back."

Michael is a very gentle and sensitive soul who I became acquainted with through Hospice of SLO while we were both mourning great losses in our lives -- in Mike's case of his beloved Judy.
He and I would often have long talks following our Hospice meetings. I'm not sure they did anything for him, but Mike's down-to-Earth wisdom certainly helped me.
People like Michael feel very deeply. He loved Judy with all his being and it's clear he continued to struggle with her passing until his own.
It is my sincere prayer and wish that they are now both with the angels for an eternity of peace and happiness together -- forever.
Requiescat in Pace my brother Michael!

Mike was a friend that I was looking forward to spending more time with. He was a kind heart and gentle spirit.
As we had met in a grief support group, my prayer is that his grieving is now over.
