Michael Angelo Jimenez was born on June 25, 1967, at San Joaquin General Hospital in French Camp, California to Pete and Jessie Jimenez. He was a proud graduate of Edison High School class of 1985 and lived a life marked by service, loyalty, and love for his family.
On August 9, 1986, Michael married his high school sweetheart Annmarie Miranda Pagal. Together, they built a strong and loving home, raising their children with care and devotion. In 1986, he also enlisted in the United States Army. He answered the call of duty during the Gulf War, serving as a helicopter door gunner in Operation Desert Storm. For his service and bravery, he was promoted to Sergeant and received numerous medals and honors.
Michael is survived by his beloved wife, Annmarie; his children—daughter Erica and her husband Ramiro, and sons Michael Jr. and Vicente. He also leaves behind seven adored grandchildren, his devoted mother Jessie, his sister Rebecca and her husband Raul, his brothers Peter and Henry, sisters- in-law Monica and Lisa, and numerous nieces and nephews. In his final days, he was surrounded by the family he cherished.
As he entered eternal rest, Michael was welcomed home by his father Pete, his brother Tony, his mother- in-law Yolanda, his nephews Nico and Marlin, his niece Kristian, and many other dearly missed relatives who went before him.
