Abrams, on March 15th,1974 and raised three daughters: Michelle, Marlo, and Melanie.
Dad set an example for all of us, by showing loving acts of kindness, generosity, and positivity. He could often be heard telling the same great joke, (for the 10th time), singing, dancing, and pretending that he was Elvis. Dad had a way of making everyone he met feel special with his laughter and kind words. He looked forward to our weekend pool parties with all of his grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Dad was a consumate "gentleman" and will be deeply missed.
Michael leaves behind, to cherish his memory, three daughters, Michelle (David) Byers, Marlo Bell, and Melanie Arms; his grandchildren, Jenifer (Wesley) Perkins, Emilie (Bryan) Allen, Sarah (Quinn) Bell, Nicholas Arms; his great-grandchildren, Kaili, Jaida, Wesley, Beylei, Everett, and Anderson; his mother-in-law, Augustine Anna Troxell; his sisters, Donna Abrams Mullaney, Karen Abrams (Bill) Thompson; his brothers, Mark (June) Abrams, Patrick (Lena) Abrams; and his sister-in-law, Dorothy Abrams; as well as, nieces and nephews, other relatives and friends who will continue to live his legacy.
