In loving memory of

Michael Daniel Olivares

December 28, 1992 – June 24, 2023

Lived 30 years

Elmwood Cemetary · Yorkville, Illinois

When I come to the end of my journey and I travel my last weary mile, just forget if you can, that I ever frowned and remember only the smile. Forget unkind words I have spoken; remember some good I have done. Forget that I ever had a heartache and remember I had loads of fun. Forget that I have stumbled and blundered and sometimes fell along the way. Remember I have fought some hard battles and won, ere the close of day. Then forget to grieve for my going, I would not have you sad for a day, but in summer just gather some flowers and remember the place I lay. And come in the evening when the Sun paints the sky in the west stand for a few moments beside me and remember only my best.
