Michael Balicki Obituary

Still loving you and missing you

Dear Michael,
Never forgotten! You are always in my prayers.
Miss our conversations, but I know God takes the best!

Miss you my brother -

I have no words to express the sorrow I feel in my heart for the loss of my brother Mike...No one will ever replace the joy, pleasure and the plain old fun that was to be enjoyed by just hanging out with Mikey!!...I Love You my brother and you will be missed and forever loved as you rest in peace in the Lords Heaven....

My deepest condolences to Lis and Mr. Balicki´s Ohana. Praying for peace to bring you comfort, courage to face the days ahead, and loving memories to forever hold in your heart. May he rest in love and peace

May the love of friends and family carry you through your grief. I met Michael through my sister, Leddie, last year and we all had a wonderful lunch. Michael was very entertaining and kind throughout our conversation. Rest in Peace Michael.

There are some who bring a light so great to the world that even after they have gone, the light remains. Some will walk through the Pearly Gates, and some will ride. It's not the destination, but the journey, said Ralph Waldo Emerson. Michael, what you left behind will not be engraved in stone monuments, but will be woven into the lives of others.

I met Michael at a young age of 7. From then on he has never ceased to amaze me. He was funny, mischievous, intelligent, entertaining, charming, excellent in sales, a writer of poetry and music. He found peace when surfing.
A loving soul who loved his Mother Judy, his sister Rocky, and his brother Brian and his faithful companion dog Tucker very much as life itself.

With this I will dedicate a prayer:
Dear Lord our God
As we grieve the loss of still young
Michael, we seek to understand your purpose.
Our Michael was suddenly taken away from us. Come swiftly to his aid and have mercy on him, and comfort his family and friends by the power of the protection of the cross.
We ask this through Christ our
Lord. Amen

I couldn´t have asked for a better big brother, and you made me the man I am today wether you believed me or not not when we had that conversation.
I´ll miss our conversations and our corny stupid jokes, and hearing your laugh, and you busts into singing something! I´ll miss our times together riding our Harleys. I was so proud of the person you became. You always had adventures or something new and interesting that you learned and you would tell me all about. You lived by your own rules and I admired you for that! You were a very loving and generous brother to me and I will never forget you!
I Love and miss you so much my big bro Mike.
p.s. Rocky and I kept our promise, we have Tucker he is safe with us now, rest in peace, my brother
I hope you are reunited with dad and Michi!!

Your Balicki Bro, Brian

Mike -
We have wonderful memories of you and Lisa and the many moves/homes you all had!! I will forever cherish them in our hearts.
You left much to soon and those you left behind shall miss you.
Love Ron and Patsy

To the man who is the love of my life, best friend and confidante!

A man that was the epitome of a beautiful human being inside and out.

A man that carried an old soul who knew no bounds for love and grace.

A man who had an intellect and a thirst for knowledge that had no limit.

A man whose spirit captivated the hearts of many.

A man of many talents and skills- singing, playing guitar, surfing, skiing, rebuilding cars and fixing damn near anything he put his mind to!

A man whose laughter was truly joyful and all encompassing.

A man that redefined the term family.

A man that achieved atonement for the errors of his youth.

A man that led by example and who taught me numerous lessons in life to become a better person.

A man that God has graced us with and for the fortunate who were blessed to be engulfed by his bright light.

I can´t express the tremendous grief felt by his sudden departure but take solace in knowing that God was gracious enough to let me have him as the greatest love of my life.

Loving you always and forever
- Lisa

I´m so grateful for the blessing and privilege to meet and serve alongside Ghost with Entertaining Angels/One Love Ministries, even if it was just several months. I think we started on the same Saturday. Ghost served the houseless weekly meals so joyfully with such a loving, generous and kind heart. He even stepped out of comfort zone and started baking brownies which they all loved! He wanted so much to help and love on the houseless. He worked hard and jumped in anyway he could at all times. He was humble and compassionate. I pray God knows and sees his heart. I pray Lord for your mercy and grace to embrace him.

Love you !

It is with a heavy heart that I stand before you today to say goodbye to a man who has been such an integral part of all our lives
My brother was a kind and gentle soul who always saw the best in people, even when they couldn´t see it in themselves -

There are no words to express how much I miss him - his arms were always open, no matter who it was - he always wanted to help -
He always had a smile on his face and a twinkle in his-eye. Planning his next venture! -


I think about all the things we used to do and all the inside jokes we had.
I even find myself still trying to call him and see how he is doing and what he is up to and asking about tucker-
It´s hard knowing that I´ll never see or hear his voice again. 

My brother
I know that you´re still with me in spirit, and maybe sometime I will see you in my dreams - although you were taken too soon - your memory will live on in the hearts of everyone you touched -

I take comfort in knowing that we´ll be reunited one day. Until then, I´ll keep living my life the way you would want me to: with a smile on my face and love in my heart. 
Rest in peace, brother. I love you always.
Your sister

Rest in Peace sweet man. I'm a better person for having known you. I hope you have found the True you always searched for.
