Michael Bracci Obituary

Mike Bracci, 62, of Chino Hills, CA died unexpectedly on Monday, September 5 while vacationing with his loving wife Mary at Huntington Lake, CA.

Mike worked for over 45 years in the food industry. The foundation of his career was his 20 years at Kelley-Clarke of Diamond Bar, and subsequently as Partner with CMC Sales and Marketing of Santa Fe Springs, CA. He was very proud of the service excellence and commitment he provided to his customers.

Mike will be sorely missed by his wife Mary of 19 years, son Brian, daughter Andrea, granddaughter Peyton who was Mike’s special ‘Pumpkin’, mother Josie, brother Dave and wife Maria, sisters Marianne and Deanna and husbands Larry and Darrin respectively, and several nieces and nephews. Mike was also extremely close to his mother-in-law Ann Macaulay, and sisters-in law Phyllis Mosgrove Kahl and Lois Mosgrove.

Mike graduated from San Gabriel High School in 1972 and looked forward to events with groups of classmates to recall those happy days. Mike learned many life lessons as a Boy Scout and worked diligently to earn the rank of Eagle Scout. Later in life, he was a member of various community and work-related organizations.

A celebration of Mike’s life will be held on Monday, October 10, 4:00 p.m. at the Diamond Bar Center, 1600 Grand Ave. Diamond Bar, CA 91765. Following the service, Mike’s memory will be celebrated during a Margaritaville-themed party to commemorate his zest for life; guests are requested to dress accordingly.

The family requests that in lieu of flowers, donations may be made in Mike’s memory to the Huntington Lake Volunteer Fire Department, c/o Karen Bare-Kamimoto, 125 E. Barstow Ave., Suite 109, Clovis, CA 93710.

To plant trees in memory, please visit the Sympathy Store.
