Michael J Figueiredo Sr.

Mike was a man who genuinely loved the simple things: a well-maintained engine, a quiet spot on the water, and the latest piece of technology. A dedicated part of the Berlin Public Schools custodial team, Mike loved his job making sure children have safe and well-maintained spaces to learn. He was a fixture of kindness in those halls, a genuinely kind person who was always ready to help anyone with anything.

Mike's heart really belonged to his "chosen family," the massive network of friends he built at the Cadillac Ranch. Mike was at his happiest when he was outdoors or on the move. You could usually find him in his Toyota Tacoma (the "Taco"), kayaking, fishing, spending a weekend away at a ranch, or heading off to the next NASCAR race. When he wasn't on the road, he was a lifelong Star Wars fan who always found a little adventure in the stories he loved.
