Michael Richard Gumiela Obituary

Michael Gumiela was the beloved husband of Francine.  Loving father of Jeanne, Michael, Lauren, and Christopher.  Adored “Pops” to Arianna, Justin, and Anthony. Dearest brother to Linda.  And revered family member and friend to so many others.


Michael peacefully passed to heaven on the morning of Friday, September 27, 2024.


Mike was a quiet observer and a trusted voice.  There was always a power that everyone felt in his presence.  Mike was everyone’s go to for advisement, regardless of the severity of the need.  Mike lived his life by giving everyone a glimpse of his unique Gumiela humor, never giving up, and putting everyone else before himself.  Simple traits of many individuals but perfected by very few.  We are all blessed to have been able to witness Mike live his life and should feel lucky to now have the opportunity to show the world everything he taught us.


As you all remember Mike, please consider a donation in lieu of flowers.
