Michael Adam Wills of Mesa AZ passed away Dec. 16, 2021. He was born March 6, 1984 in Upper Sandusky, Ohio. Michael was raised in Mesa and from a young age loved skateboarding and anything BMX. A graduate of Red Mountain High School, he attended 2 years of trade school before landing a job as a painter for Empire Machinery. Later he became a redi-mix truck driver for Cemex Materials and most recently an entrepreneur. Michael is the oldest of four children and a pillar to all who knew him, his legacy will endure through his family and friends. An avid outdoorsman, Michael enjoyed all facets of such including hunting, fishing, camping or taking in a car show or race. Weekends would likely find him on the rim camping and fishing or in his backyard grilling and watching a movie with family.
His character was such that he brightened any situation he came upon and was always willing to lend a hand. Michael was a stellar father, loving son and brother, warm and comedic uncle and steadfast friend.
Services honoring Michael’s life will be Tuesday, December 21, at 2pm with visitation 1hr prior at Mountain View Funeral Home and Cemetery, 7900 E Main St., Mesa AZ 85207.

Nothing I can saw will ever take away the pain. Michael was an amazing human, amazing friend and amazing dad. He loved with his whole heart and he would bend over backwards for you. I pray for strength and peace for his entire family. My heart aches for you all.
Goodbye my friend. It’s not the same without here. Rest easy, slay those fishes, and ride those trails, where ever you may be.
Donations will be graciously accepted to be put towards funeral expenses. Please contact Amanda Alquist… his sister… for information @ amanda.alquist@outlook.com or call her @480-688-3201
Words can not express the loss we feel at Michaels going, but know God must need him for a more important service than to us here. He touched all our hearts when ever we were with him. Thankful for sharing the little time we could and the love he gave to us.
Michael was always smiling whenever I was around him. He really was the life of parties. He showed nothing but respect to my wife and I, and I really enjoyed discussing fighting games with him, and playing them as well. Just an all around good guy.
A wonderful loving caring outstanding father was taken to soon. Life is cruel and unfair. My heart goes out to Michael’s entire family. Michael will truly be missed but never ever forgotten and always be loved.
Michael’s heart was filled with love for all. One of my most favorite memories of him is when I just got home from the hospital with my newborn son Austin. Michael lived across the street from me at the time. In his hands he had a little blue Suitcase he grabbed his skateboard as fast as he could started to skate over to my house and then he Wiped out on his skateboard, the skateboard wint flying down the street Michael picked up the tiny Suitcase then ran over to give it to me. He was so excited to see Austin and see how I was doing . The tiny blue Suitcase was filled with little close for Austin that I still have to this day.
Michael you will always have a place in my heart as we go so so far back and Please if you see my boy Austin give him a big big hug for me.
Forever missed but never ever forgotten and always loved goodbye my friend 💔

I am so thankful to have been apart of your life.
My world will never be the same.
Hope to see you On the Outskirts of Heaven someday! You were a good friend to my daughter Mandymay and Jake Houser. Many good times in the suburbans etc. Heaven is a better place with you in it. Love you Michael!
