Michael Ethan Avellino, age 30, passed away unexpectedly on March 10, 2015 in Mesa, AZ. Michael was born on May 10, 1984 in New Brunswick, New Jersey, to Andrew and Judith Avellino. His formative years were spent in San Dimas and Rancho Cucamonga, CA. He graduated from Rancho Cucamonga High School in 2002. He loved snowboarding and other outdoor sports with his friends. In 2007, Michael moved to Arizona to be closer to his parents. He is survived by his parents, Andrew and Judith Avellino of Mesa, AZ. Michael was the most incredibly kind-hearted, giving and loving young man you could ever hope to meet. He loved cooking with his parents; especially making homemade bagels with his Mom and pizza with is Dad. We will miss those very special but messy moments. A Celebration of Michael’s Life will be held Saturday, March 21st, 2015 at 1:00pm at Escobedo at Verde Vista, the apartment complex where he resided and had many, many friends. The address is 435 N Hibbert, Mesa, Arizona 85201. In lieu of flowers, please make a donation to your favorite charity in Michael’s name.
