He grew up surrounded by a lot of family, as well as close friends who remain so to this day. He was quite an accomplished athlete, play- ing various sports and even set a citywide record for sit ups with 600. As a teenager, Michael went to work in his dry-cleaning busi- ness, Parr French Cleaners.

Over 40 years sober, he al- ways said it was his proudest achievement. He became in addiction and helped thousands of peo- ple overcome their own ad- diction.

It is not uncommon to meet someone at an event, or on an airplane, who was either delivered as a baby by Michael or counseled to so- briety by him. He lived a life of tremendous impact, win- ning many awards along the way, including Sacramento Person of the Year. Michael also worked with the NBA for over 25 years. For the past nine years, Mi- chael has been with his part- ner Beth Harney. She and her son Austin and daughter Sarah have been a bedrock of care for Michael when he faced health challenges of his own.

Throughout it all, Michael continued to pro- vide counseling to addicts throughout the world, always saying, is my purpose in Michael is predeceased by his parents David and Ber- tha, and his sister Maxine.
