Michael Collard Obituary
He is survived by his loving wife of 30 years, Debra, of Big Bear City; his twin sisters Tricia Belanger (husband Gary) of Woonsocket; Paula Dumas (husband Ronnie) and his niece Sara, of Manville. Mike was also the son-in-law to Theresa Beauregard of Palm Desert, California.
Mike primarily worked in the hotel industry as a general manager in several countries and many cities in the United States. He was well respected for his integrity, professionalism and ingenuity.
God broke the mold when he created Mike. He left us much too early because of a devastating and rare disease called Multiple System Atrophy. He will be greatly missed by his friends and family.

Debra,
I am truly saddened to hear of Michael's passing. Please accept my most sincere condolences. Mike was a cousin who I always looked up to and hoped to emulate in everything I did. My last contact with Mike was via email while he worked for MCCS, Twentynine Palms and I worked for MCCS Yuma. I only wish I would have taken the time and made the effort to make a trip to Big Bear. Life is too short and fleeting. You are in my thoughts and prayers
