Honoring Michael Tapley: Memorial Fund

Donation protected
It is with deep sorrow that we announce the passing of Michael David Tapley, a beloved husband, father, brother, and son, who left us on June 28th, 2024, at approximately 5:08 PM. Michael tragically lost his life in a motorcycle accident, leaving us all heartbroken and in shock at his unexpected passing. He was just 44 years old.

Michael was a loving, funny guy who cherished life and brought joy to everyone around him. He had an infectious smile and was always quick with a joke. His love for motorcycles and dirt bikes was well-known, and he could often be found talking shop about different bikes with a big grin on his face. He was the kind of person who gave the biggest bear hugs and always made time to listen to others, offering comfort and understanding when it was needed most.

As we navigate through this difficult time, we are faced with the unexpected costs of funeral services and arrangements. We want to honor Michael in a manner that truly reflects the wonderful person he was and to give him the beautiful celebration of life he deserves.

We are reaching out to friends, family, and our extended community for support. Due to his unexpected death, we are asking for help from family and friends. Your generous contributions will help cover the costs of:

Funeral services
Cremation expenses
Reception
Additional costs associated with honoring Michael's memory

Any amount, big or small, will make a significant difference and is deeply appreciated. Your support will not only help us during this challenging time but also ensure that Michael's legacy is honored in the best possible way.

Please consider donating and sharing this campaign with others who knew and loved Michael. We thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your kindness, generosity, and support.

With heartfelt gratitude,

Stacey Ortiz and Ashley Tapley,
Michael's sisters
