In Memory of Michael Panetti

On Friday, February 11, 2022, unfortunately Michael Panetti: loving son, brother, and father passed away at the age of 34.

 

Michael was always energetic, sarcastic, witty and so much fun to be around. He had an infectious laugh and amazing smile. He had a larger than life personality and loved being surrounded by his friends and family. He was an active member of his church at Destiny Worship Center in Fort Walton Beach. He enjoyed his time spent around fellow worshipers but truly felt happiest spending time with the kids and youth of his church. He always wanted to work with kids and help them become the best versions of themselves.

 

He was a wonderful father to his 7 year old daughter Isla Jade and loved having quality time spent just hearing about her day. Their best times spent together were out in nature; whether camping, fishing or hiking. They also enjoyed hockey games, watching football, and wrestling together. Both Isla and her mother Amber will miss him dearly but find comfort knowing he is resting in peace.

 

In lieu of flowers or donations to the funeral service, Amber's closest friends have organized this and are asking for donations to this GoFund me account for Isla’s future educational expenses.

 

Thank you all in advance for your support to both Michael’s family, Amber and Isla. Prayers and good energy are always welcome.

 

I leave you with Michael & Amber’s favorite poem that they’ve always loved and dedicated to their daughter.

 

We will think of you fondly Michael, Rest In Peace.

 

[i carry your heart with me(i carry it in]

BY E. E. CUMMINGS

i carry your heart with me(i carry it in

my heart)i am never without it(anywhere

i go you go,my dear;and whatever is done

by only me is your doing,my darling)

                                                      i fear

no fate(for you are my fate,my sweet)i want

no world(for beautiful you are my world,my true)

and it’s you are whatever a moon has always meant

and whatever a sun will always sing is you

 

here is the deepest secret nobody knows

(here is the root of the root and the bud of the bud

and the sky of the sky of a tree called life;which grows

higher than soul can hope or mind can hide)

and this is the wonder that's keeping the stars apart

 

i carry your heart(i carry it in my heart)
