Outside of his professional life, Michael was a vibrant individual who had a zest for life; he enjoyed motorcycles, cars, and sports, and he was a proud member of the Desert Springs Church.

Michael is survived by his son, Damian and Hannah Mainolfa  and his beloved grandchildren, Owen Mainolfa, Knox Mainolfa, and Thea Mainolfa. He leaves behind a legacy of love and fond memories that will continue to inspire his family.

He is preceded in death by his father, Andrew Mainolfa; his mother, Thelma Mainolfa; his son, Ian Mainolfa; and Carol MacMillan, his ex-wife and friend. Their memories will forever remain in the hearts of those who knew and loved him.
