In Loving Memory of Michael Anthony Dorsey
It is with both profound sadness and heartfelt gratitude for his life that we announce the peaceful passing of Michael Anthony Dorsey on October 19, 2026. Born on June 10, 1962, in the vibrant city of Redwood City, Mike's life was an inspiring journey marked by love, laughter, and an indomitable spirit.
The beloved son of the late Donald Francis Dorsey and Constance (Cleary) Dorsey, Mike was a beacon of joy and kindness to all who knew him. Preceded in death by his cherished parents, Don and Connie, Mike leaves behind a family who adored him deeply. He is survived by his loving children, Darren, Christina, and Isabel, who were his pride and joy, and his treasured grandson, Everett, who brought boundless delight to his life. Mike is also survived by his brothers, David, Christopher, and Tom, who shared countless memories and adventures with him.
Mike's life was enriched by his marriages to Lisa Marie and Sylvia, both of whom remained dear to him throughout his life. A dedicated and skilled auto painter, Mike spent his entire professional career perfecting his craft, earning the respect and admiration of colleagues and clients alike.
An active member of St. Leonards and Our Lady of Guadalupe churches, Mike was a man of faith whose actions spoke volumes of his generosity and compassion. Known for his amazing sense of humor and warm, charming smile, he had an extraordinary ability to make everyone feel welcomed and valued. His kindness and generosity were not mere gestures but a testament to the genuine love he had for his fellow man.
Mike's zest for life was evident in his many passions, which included body building, running, hiking, camping, and boating with family and friends at Lake Don Pedro. These activities were more than hobbies; they were expressions of his vibrant spirit and love for the great outdoors.
The family wishes to extend their deepest gratitude to the dedicated staff at the Arcadian Residential Care facility, where Mike spent the last year of his life. Their compassion and friendship provided immense comfort and will forever be appreciated.
A service to honor and celebrate Mike's life will be held on October 28, 2026, at 10:30 AM at Our Lady of Guadalupe Parish, located at 41933 Blacow Rd., Fremont, CA. The family invites all who knew Mike to join them in remembering a life so beautifully lived.
In lieu of flowers, the family kindly requests that donations be made in Mike's memory to organizations supporting Parkinson's Disease and Dementia research, causes close to his heart.
As we bid farewell to Mike, let us carry forward his legacy of humor, love, and kindness, cherishing the moments and lessons he shared with us all. May his soul rest in eternal peace.
