Michael Florney

Michael Florney, a singer, a songwriter, and trendsetter who lived in many places but called San Diego his life-long home unexpectedly passed away on May 2, 2022, in Encinitas, CA at the young age of 24. He had a drive like no other and passion for success. His hustle was unstoppable and his light unmatchable.

He always had a passion for the more beautiful things in life. He enjoyed writing poems and lyrics when he was younger. In 2015, he started to become interested in turning those written works into songs. In late 2020, he got into the studio for the first time, then released a total of four songs on his music platforms and had a total of 32 finished songs before his passing. He was excited and was working on releasing his mixtape, Improvise, in a few months.

Michael is survived by his dad, Dewitt Florney; his mom, Juliet Florney; his sister, Michele Florney; and his grandmother, Elena Vergara, and extended family here and abroad.

Michael was born in Agana Heights, Guam on June 17, 1997, to his parents. He graduated a year early from Kearny SCT High School in June 2014. He enjoyed going to the gym, playing videogames, Star Wars, collecting designer items, traveling whenever he could, and being a trader in the stock market.

He will always be remembered for his charm, goofiness, kindness, and welcoming smile. Michael was a positive presence in a lot of people’s lives, and we will see him again in time.
