We just learned that Michael James Spindle, born February 12, 1949, recently passed away on February 25, 2022.. 

He lived in Laguna Beach California.

Madelaine Zelenay Whiteman gave us the sad news. They had worked together in real estate. 

RIP Mike.
 

June 10, 2022 UPDATE

Today I received Mike's obituary from his daughter, Shikera. Thank you, Shikera and we send our heartfelt condolences to you and your family. Mike was a great guy and I only have good memories of him from high school. 

In April, dad died too soon at the age of 73. Michael James Spindle is survived by his daughter Shikera, son-in-law Daniel, granddaughter, grandson, son Nathan, brother Steve, and in the memories of the friends and family who he had such happy times with. 

When Dad turned 18, he served our country in Korea as a military policeman. When he returned, he earned a bachelor's degree from Cal State Fullerton. Dad loved cars and he started buying and flipping everything from Porsches to a De Tomaso Mangusta. He then worked in real estate in Laguna Beach for over 40 years and enjoyed mentoring many. 

Dad was selfless, calm, positive, ethical, the greatest example of unconditional love to those he loved, and the best best friend and dad ever: my hero and a role model for many. We are so grateful for the time that we had with him. 

Be at peace dad. We love you so much and will miss you forever.
