At the time of his passing he was surrounded in love with his daughter Aurora, his two sons Xavier and Quinn, His wife/ex-wife Susanne, friend Ms. Ana and 3 close personal friends and caring members of the church he attended by his side.
Mike was born and raised in Salinas, California. At the age of 15 he moved to Yuma, Arizona where he met and accepted Jesus. Through his church and Kofa High School Mike was introduced to the Farar Family who cared for and loved him and became adored "adopted" family members. Mike often said they taught him how to be a good man. Mike then moved to Phoenix, Arizona and worked many odd jobs. It wasn't until meeting and marrying his wife Suzzie and having his children that Mike found his true calling as a cab driver. Cabbie Mike was an excellent driver. He was smart, fun, quick witted, and he loved to laugh and share it with others. Even though Mike did not serve in the military, all veterans received a free ride in his cab. He appreciated those who did serve our country.
Mike/Cabbie Mike P. made many friends during his life and will be greatly missed by those who knew and loved him.
In lieu of flowers, Find time to help people in need. Show random acts of kindness to complete strangers. Pay for someone else's drink or meal. Help someone move or fix a car. Pay a bill for someone else. These are things that Mike did often just to spread the kindness and love that he was shown throughout his life.
