Michael Joseph Bondiskey

Brother, Son, Intelligent, Accepting, Musician

What Michael was like

Michael was insanely smart, so much so that in many conversations, not everyone could understand what he was saying. He loved to debate, and attended Vanderbilt Law School. He had a heart of gold and truly accepted others for who they were.

Fondest memories of Michael

One of my favorite memories of Michael is us sleeping on the floor in my parents room together, right in front of the fireplace. My dad would travel for work and the three of us would sleep in my parents room together and keep my mom company.

How Michael will be missed

I will miss my brothers dry sense of humor and how incredibly selfless he was as an individual. He would always ask how I’m doing (when I was going through a divorce), and would let me rant on and on and just sit there to be a listening ear.

How Michael will be remembered

I want everyone to remember my brother for being so down to earth, so real yet funny, so smart, so kind and compassionate, so accepting yet opinionated, so gentle, so admirable. The world needs more people like him.
