Michael Estrada, 65, of Mesa, AZ, sadly passed away on Sunday, June 2 ^nd , 2024, at Banner University Medical Center with his wife Tammy Truelove Estrada by his side.

He was born in Tempe, AZ on August 22, 1958. Mike was a born and raised Arizonian, graduated from Mesa High. He was employed by IBM for over 47 years and served in various Federal Client Technical IT Sales roles.

Mike was loved by everyone that met him. His smile was infectious. His friendships were beyond loyal. His love for his boys, grandchildren and wife could be seen in every interaction with them. He truly felt blessed in life.

Mike never turned down an opportunity to sing or play guitar. Playing was in his soul. He had been in bands going back to his teenage years and played in several church bands. He played at a few places in town regularly. He even proposed to Tammy by playing/singing to her.

Golf was another passion of his that he took up later in life. He was looking forward to teaching his youngest grandson how to golf. He golfed around the world with his buddies and loved that his wife golfed and could be by his side golfing.

His retirement wish was to find a beach/golf area where he could be a golf ranger during the day and play guitar in a pub at night.

Mike is survived by his mother, Amelia (Damaseno) Ortega; his wife, Tammy Truelove Estrada; his children Michael Ray Estrada and William Gale (Jaimie) Estrada; his grandchildren Cecilia (Weston) DuHamel, Michael J.
