He is also survived by his nieces and nephew, Kendall Fitzgerald, Ava Riggi-Fitzgerald, and Kenneth Brown, his aunts and uncle, Diane Webster, Maureen and Richie Webster, and his Godparents, Joan and Ken Moore, along with extended family members and friends. Michael was a vibrant, loving, smart, and extremely funny young man who touched the lives of all he met. He was always able to bring a smile to your face and give you a good laugh with his quick wit and clever personality.
Although he lost his battle to addiction, Michael was more than his addiction; so let's celebrate his legacy of love and his larger than life personality that shined bright for all he knew him.
