Michael Ray Lundquist passed away peacefully on 05/26/2018 at the age of 55, surrounded by his loving family.
Michael was born in Murray Utah on 09/03/1962 to Michael Barney Lundquist and Judy Ann Elizondo. He spent his childhood building amazing memories with his mother Judy, father Michael, stepmother Kathy, three brothers, Chad, Troy and Rich and his grandparents, Ray and Beverly, Barney and Annie. The most memorable being, the time spent boating, swimming, riding motorcycles and running wild. From a very young age he found his passion in cars and their beauty. He carried this passion into his career and used his artistry to restore world class antique cars, some of which have received the highest awards. He met his first love Lisa, at the age of 13 and from that love he was blessed with two beautiful children, his son Tyler and daughter Taylor. His children were the light of his life and the very breath he took. He enjoyed spending every moment making memories with them and couldn't be prouder of their achievements. Later in life his family grew when he met his girlfriend Brandi and her two children Kris and Shandie. His heart was filled with love for all of them. He was notorious for taking the family on spontaneous adventures and sharing his many childhood memories and traditions with them.
Michael was truly the embodiment of humanities greatest qualities. He lived his life with kindness, empathy, compassion and great wisdom. He was always there for a friend in need and would always give a listening ear. Even when his days were dark and hard, he would light up the room with his smile and a joke. His vibrancy and enthusiasm for life will be greatly missed.
Michael is welcomed into the loving arms of his grandparents Barney and Annie Lundquist, Ray and Beverly Elizondo and his best friend and furry companion Kia Marie. He leaves behind his father Michael and wife Kathy, his mother Judy and husband Andy, brothers Chad and Troy Lundquist and Richard Hamp, Children Tyler (Cassidy) and Taylor, step children Kris and Shandie Wiedbusch, girlfriend Brandi Jenkins and grandchildren Ayden, Parker and Kayllie.
