Michael Jr.'s obituary

We are honoring the life of our beloved, Michael Angelo Esposito Schenkelberg, who lost his lifelong battle with his mental illness and addiction on October 15, 2021. Michael was a son, brother, cousin, nephew, and friend to many. Some may not have known Michael beyond his addiction and wouldn’t have known how kind, compassionate, loving, generous, and caring he was. Michael’s addiction did not define him, so please remember the goodness in his heart. Over the last couple of years, he has shown himself and the world who he really was, how everyone should remember him. He showed us a strong, determined, brilliant, driven, compassionate, and loving man. All of the people in his life described him as a very caring person who would take the shirt right off of his back for you. His never-ending and sometimes undeserved compassion for others brought light into so many lives. He had a smile that was contagious, an energy that was enthralling, and a love that was irreplaceable. We will miss that boy, the one that used to give us joyful eyes and mischievous smiles. We will miss the man that would do anything for his family. We saw a fighter... a fighter who looked like he was a winner... a fighter who was losing... a fighter who lost... or maybe this was his win. His peace. Our hearts are broken, but we pray that Michael’s heart is finally healed. Until we meet again, we love you Michael, always and forever.
