Michael Cobarrubia Obituary

Michael Dan Cobarrubia

It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Michael Dan Cobarrubia, July 4, 2020. He is survived by his loving wife, Erin, his adoring parents, Dan and Minnie and his many loyal friends. Mike attended Alameda High, UC Berkeley and worked for Kaiser as the Director of Epic Application & Integration Operations.

He loved traveling, playing tennis, riding motorcycles, golfing, snowboarding, skateboarding and a mean game of table tennis. On any given Sunday, you could find him and Erin out on the scooter or relaxed, watching extreme sports with their dog Charlie, throwing back some tacos, gummy bears and an IPA chaser. For those of us who were lucky enough to have known him, we will always celebrate him.

The epitome of joy, kindness, competence, and dedication, Mike was simply a treasure! He took time from his busy schedule to join a small lunch on my last day at Kaiser Permanente when I retired ... how unselfish he was to do that! I shall never forget him. My heart goes out to his parents, Minnie and Dan, and to his wife, Erin.

I remember Mike used to show up to work with his shirt on backwards, and it was because he didn't want to turn on the light in the morning so that Erin could sleep in after working late. He was always such a kind person. He will be missed.

I am so shocked and saddened to hear this news. Mike was one of the good guys. He helped me through a tough time when my mom died. He was kind, funny and full of life. Although we had rarely seen each other in years he made sure to stay in touch. He knew how to be a friend. Mike - thank you for bringing so much joy and sunshine into everyone's lives. I know my mom will have a hug for you in heaven.

I am so sorry for the loss of a great co-worker and friend, I learned so much from him when we were at Kaiser Permanente. He was one of the few people that laughed at my jokes and we may have drifted apart in the last few years but I have a great deal of respect for him.

We never know when or how our time here on earth will pass. Mike, I can't believe I'm writing this to be honest. You touched the lives of so many and you made the best of it. I'll always remember your chuckle and humor as well as your unbelievable intellect. You helped further my career and I will always be thankful for our relationship. I hope we have a chance to schedule another meeting in the heavens. We will certainly miss you in the meanwhile.
Your friend,
Eric

Mike. I dont know where to start. You were not only my lead, my manager, my director, but also my mentor and dear friend. I looked up to you and respected you like an older brother. You always looked out for me and you always saw the best in me even when I wasnt at my best. You supported me and my family through lifes ups and downs. I just can not believe you are gone and I will never hear your hysterical laugh again. I hope and pray for Erin, and your parents, that in time they will heal from this pain and find comfort in knowing you were loved by so many. I hope you are in peace and no longer in pain. Till we meet again, pare, rest in peace!
