Michael Nieto Obituary
In Michael's younger years, he raced cars at Waterford Speed Bowl. He was an active member of the North Stonington Volunteer Fire Department. Mike was a huge fan of the Pittsburg Steelers and loved his Pittsburg Steelers memorabilia. Michael was an outdoors enthusiast and enjoyed outside activities. He recently moved to Charleston, S.C. where he finally was able to get an outside job working on boats. In his free time, he enjoyed tinkering in the garage, working in the yard, cruising in his jeep, and boating in the creek. He was so thankful for his fresh start in life.
Michael is survived by his parents Donald Nieto Sr. and Kathleen Nieto (McLaughlin); his brother, Donald and wife, Colleen Nieto of Oakdale; his two sisters and their husbands, Jacqueline and Jeffrey Laro of Mount Pleasant, S.C. and Sandra and Lou Suppa of Trappe, Pa.; and eight nephews, Seth Perry, Zachary Perry, Nicholas Nieto, Maxwell Laro, Brandon Nieto, Ian Laro, Louis Suppa and Samuel Laro. Michael also will be missed by his favorite dog, Max.
Michael touched many hearts and will be remembered for his kindness, warm smile and willingness to help family and friends. He was loved by all who knew him, and he will be deeply missed.
The family will receive friends from 3 to 5 p.m. on Wednesday, Aug. 14, at the Mystic Funeral Home, Rt. 1, 51 Williams Ave., Mystic.
In lieu of flowers, donations may be made on Michael's behalf to the Alzheimer's Association at https://www.alz.org.

Our son, Michael, had been through so much but, by the grace of God, he overcame and became a better person for it.
He moved to South Carolina and stayed with his sister, Jackie. While there he enjoyed working in her beautiful yard and fixing things around the house for her.
Michael found a job at a boat yard reconditioning used boats and getting new boats ready for pickup. He was very good at bringing things back to life. What is best, they really liked him and often told him what a great job he is doing .
He finally purchased that jeep he had been wanting and two weeks ago he moved into a lovely, 2-bedroom apartment ( the second bedroom was for when mom and dad came to visit).
Michael, 52, died last Monday of a heart attack on the way home from work.
We miss our boy. No parent should have to go through such tragedy as losing a child no matter what age they are. Parents are supposed to die before their child.
Tomorrow is not guaranteed to anyone.
