Michael Phillip Peralta Jr.

Peralta, Michael  Phillip
Michael Phillip Peralta went to be with the Lord on December 10, 2016 in Laguna Beach, CA at the age of 32. He was born in Socorro, NM on October 17, 1984 to Michael and Michelle Peralta and was the eldest of three children. Raised in Las Cruces, NM, Michael grew up with a shared love of old western movies with his mom. He enjoyed animals, fishing and the company of his friends and family. He attended Las Cruces High School where he left his mark as a fun loving and outgoing people person. Engaging and charismatic, he was always willing to strike up a conversation with anyone he came in contact with.

Michael is preceded in death by his mother, Michelle N. Peralta; maternal grandfather, Felipe E. Baca and maternal grandfather, Dave Roady. He is survived by his daughter, Kristiannah Michelle Foote, age 7, of Phoenix, AZ; father, Michael C. Peralta of Socorro, NM. He was brother to Arianna Peralta of Austin, TX and Brittany Peralta of Las Cruces, NM; grandson to Jan Baca-Roady of Socorro, NM and Connie and Terry Peralta of Socorro, NM.

Michael's positive, generous and loving heart toward others will always be remembered and admired by those close to him. As a very spiritual person, he influenced others to always seek God while walking through our short time here on earth. Michael moved frequently as he loved to experience new surroundings but always found his peace when sitting by the ocean waves. We pray that Michael's infectious smile has left an imprint with all who loved him and hope that his laughter and love will play on in our hearts forever.
