Michael's obituary

Michael Robert Vega passed away on September 16,2020 at 12:06 am at Eastbay Rehab in Largo. His daughter is Stephanie Vega Uden and granddaughter is Vanessa J. Uden. Sister is Amy Vega and best friend/ ex wife is Julia Vega.
Michael lived a successful life of being the best sales person he could be. He believed in the product, he could sell it because he was honest. He was a survivor of many obstacles in life and handled them with no emotions to be able to accomplish whatever it was to accomplish. He was very strong minded and pushed very hard to live with all that happened with his health. He was a survivor of a few types of cancer. It was unexpected that he had a cardiac arrest June 7,2020. Michael was a very loving grandpa. He did anything for his granddaughter, from playing games, miniature golf, taking her to library and enjoyed her TKD classes.
Michael was a loving father and was involved with being a softball coach and Girl Scout Dad.
He would tell everyone he was a psychologist without a degree and his famous quotes were,
“ whatever the mind believes, can be achieved “,
“ sell yourself first and you can sell anything “
,” find your gimmick and use it”.
Due to covid , he was one of the many that passed away alone. No human should have to be isolated from their family! With his daughter only to be able to see him a few times and his best friend two times since June 7,2020, was not fair to life itself. We as humans have to do better than this. It’s not the memory anyone wants to have if not being able to care for their loved one 100 percent.
Michael was cremated and will be at rest at Calvary Cemetery. Services will be posted once determined.
