Honoring Mike Valie's Life and Legacy

Hello Everyone:

My name is Christine Valie. I truly appreciate you taking a moment to read this story.

We are heartbroken to share that Michael Patric Valie, also known by close family and friends as Hossein or Jose, passed away unexpectedly on Tuesday, December 31, 2024, at his home. Mike leaves behind a cherished son Eli, his Mother Yolanda, brother Marc, sister Christine, partner Kaley and many friends who supported him and who are all devastated by this loss. Mike was outgoing and funny recognized for his hard work and dedication to his family. He touched the lives of many people who passed through his life as a talented barber and an amazing cook. He was known to bring a smile to those around him including strangers. Mike had a way to cheer someone up and be a jokester. His bright smile and unwavering support with his family will never be forgotten.

In this difficult time, we are reaching out to our community to help support his family as they navigate the expenses associated with his funeral.

Any contributions will be immensely appreciated and will go to covering these costs. Any remaining funds will go toward an Education Fund such as a CHET account for educational purposes only.

Thank you for your kindness and support during this tragic time. Let us unite and support Mike's memory and provide for his family. Together, we can make a difference.

So far $16,000 has been used for funeral burial expenses.

We as a family still need to place his name on grave stone and proper picture along side his name.

We are asking to meet our $20k mark so we can meet our goal. You all have been so generous please pass along so we can hit that mark.
