Michael Alexander Dobbs was a loving partner, devoted son, caring brother, dad to both his beloved dog, Jade and his cats Mr. Burt and Dos. He was a loyal friend whose vibrant spirit touched everyone fortunate enough to know him. Born on April 4, 1983, Michael lived life with a sense of wonder, adventure, silliness, and deep compassion that made every moment in his presence feel like home.
Michael found joy in the simplest pleasures—camping under the stars, casting a line into a quiet lake, and cruising through scenic back roads in his beloved van, Vango. He relished the open road, the warmth of a campfire, and the laughter of those he loved beside him. Whether dancing barefoot in the living room or dreaming up wild and imaginative ideas, he brought light and laughter into every space he entered.
Above all, Michael was a man with the biggest heart. His love was fierce, unwavering, and deeply loyal to his partner, Danielle Penn and “the kids” Kiersten and Gavin. He gave of himself freely, always showing up for the people he cherished with open arms and an open heart. His silliness brought smiles, his presence brought calm, and his love created a family.
Michael will be remembered for his kind and generous soul, his boundless sense of adventure, and the way he made others feel seen, safe, and deeply loved. His legacy lives on in every memory shared, every laugh echoed, and every act of kindness inspired by his spirit.
As we say goodbye, we hold close the words that echo his enduring love:
“Goodbyes are not forever, are not the end; it simply means I’ll miss you until we meet again.”
Michael, your love lives on in all of us. We miss you dearly—and we’ll carry your spirit with us, always.
Condolences
