Michael John Yannacito was born to Roxanne and John Yannacito on September 7, 1984 in Denver, Colorado at Rose Medical Center. He has one younger brother, Jared Yannacito, who resides in Arvada, Colorado. Michael also had three step-brothers Randy, Bryan and Jim Matheson, and step-father James Matheson.

Michael graduated from Pomona High School in 2003. He had an unconditional love and extreme passion for weight lifting, music, video games and his four cherished cats - Chibi, Stryder, Freya and Hazel. On April 20, 2014 Michael became engaged to Heathyrre Kautz. She was the love of his life.

Michael worked as a personal trainer and through the course of his life coached several people in weight training and nutritional training in Colorado and on social media. Michael had a kind heart and helped everyone he could to feel good about themselves, working hard, giving them confidence, endurance and will-power to never give up.

Michael struggled with many health issues but always kept a smile and never burdened anyone. He would always say "I'm OK." He was courageous and fought till the very end no matter the pain he must have been in.

Michael is preceded in death by his grandfather Joseph Yannacito and his uncle Mark Samansky. He will be forever missed by all of his family, friends and his precious cats.

REST IN PEACE MICHAEL.

WE LOVE YOU.
