Michael Halloran Obituary

Michael J. Halloran
1959 - 2021
Our beloved brother Michael passed peacefully in San Francisco in the early morning hours on October 20th 2021.
Michael was born on July 29th, 1959 in Fairbanks Alaska and is the loving son of the late Coleman and Rosemary Halloran. Michael is, and shall always be the beloved and eldest brother of Stephen (Mary), Thomas, Martin and James (Alicia) Halloran and is the cherished cousin of Maureen Mulry and Eileen O'Donoghue. He is the loving uncle of Dennis, Brendan, Nora and Julia Halloran and Theresa Halloran Pena and great uncle of Elizabeth Rose Pena and is also survived by his uncle Pat Halloran in Chicago, IL and many other loving cousins and extended relatives both near and far.
Michael was a longtime resident of the Presidio Gates Apartments on Lombard Street and work at the San Francisco Presidio until its closing. Michael also was a volunteer at the California Pacific Medical Center in San Francisco and gave freely of his time and abilities. As an avid sports fan Michael was often seen at the Giants games in San Francisco with his brothers, and was always in the know as to who was playing and where. Michael was a Boy Scout in his youth and achieved the prestigious rank of Eagle Scout by receiving 21 Merit Badges. He was a graduate of McAteer High School Class of 1978 where popularity was his forte. In Michael's latter years his struggles were great, yet he persevered through the difficulties with a smile on his face and the willingness to be a part of life, on life's terms. He shall be greatly missed by all.

It is always the Holiday Season's that I remember my brother Michael. And it is always our carrying him up and down the stairs of St. Paul's Church for the celebrations, for mom and dads funerals, and a final time for his own. It stays with me; heavy to remember at times but it is what it is, and it is fine that it does.

Mike was a Marina neighborhood institution...a mayor of sorts. I first met him in the 80's at Pierce Street Annex. Truly, a gentleman among gentlemen. Rest in Peace Buddy!
