Michael Botelho, born on May 16, 1951, left us on November 18, 2024. Michael, a man of remarkable character, lived his life with authenticity and courage, always embracing life's moments with a smile on his face. As the English author Samuel Johnson once said, "The true measure of a man is how he treats someone who can do him absolutely no good." This quote resonated deeply with Michael's approach to life.

Michael had an innate ability to make a significant impact on everyone he encountered. His life was characterized by a ceaseless desire to help others, and he demonstrated this in the simplest of ways, whether through a friendly conversation or a helping hand. His presence would light up a room, and his infectious laughter was a comforting sound that will be dearly missed. His ability to see the good in every situation and in every individual was truly inspirational.

Michael will be laid to rest at the Oak Grove Cemetery, 765 Prospect Street, Fall River, Massachusetts, 02720, on Thursday, January 2, 2025, at 12:00 pm EST.

As we bid farewell to Michael, we celebrate his spirit of generosity, kindness, and love for life. We invite you to share your memories and photos of Michael on his memorial page, to keep his spirit alive in our hearts. As the Irish proverb goes, "Death leaves a heartache no one can heal, love leaves a memory no one can steal." Let us remember Michael for the love he shared and the memories he left behind.
