Miguel spent nearly his entire professional career as a proud mechanic and asphalt paver. He continued to work up until he could not anymore; a true testament to his work ethic, of which was admirable to say the least!
Miguel was an amazing father, brother, uncle and friend to all that called on him. He was light-hearted and sweet, always had a smile on his face and kind words for his loved ones. He was a strong believer of not sweating the small things, and laughed every chance that he could. He was one of the best dominoes players and was always up for having a good time. His smile and laughter could light up a room, as he carried this infectious persona everywhere he went.
