Michael Ryan Oparka
Forever Remembered
Michael was born in Vallejo, CA. September 13, 1984 to parents Kris & David Oparka and big brother Eric.
Michael was the sweetest little boy. He was and always remained shy, caring, kindhearted, hardworking, stubborn, intelligent and a lover of the outdoors. He played baseball as a kid, he loved working on cars with his dad, learning construction with his grandfather and uncles. He loved fishing, enjoyed watching sports and most of all hanging out with his large family that he adored.
Michael grew up in Vacaville where he attended Hemlock Elementary School. In his teen years he and his family relocated to Susanville, CA., where he attended Lassen High School. He and his family moved back to Vacaville in 2001 after the passing of his father.
Mikey was the ultimate handyman and worked a few different careers, but his favorite was working for his uncle Ruben for many years.
Michael is extremely loved and will be incredibly missed by his family. He is survived by his parents Kris & Jim Hamilton, brother and sister in law Eric and Mariana Oparka, his buddies and nephews Jaxon & Jacob & his beloved niece Emily.
