Michael Damien Kaiser

It is with great sadness and heavy hearts that we announce the unexpected passing of our dear brother, uncle, nephew, cousin and friend, Michael Damien Kaiser. On December 28, 2016, Michael (53) passed on to be with his Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ and to be reunited with his parents, Francis Paul Kaiser and Barbara Sue (Telkamp) Kaiser. Michael was born on March 6, 1963 in Colorado Springs Colorado. When he was 5 years old, he and his family moved to Santa Rosa, California. He later spent his young adult life in Huntington Beach, California where he graduated from High School and took classes at Golden West Community College. He realized that ?home? was Santa Rosa and he relocated where most of his family had settled. Among many talents, Michael was a gifted artist in which some of his works were featured in local art shows. He worked several jobs in and around the community and helped others in need by doing numerous volunteer work. Michael was a giving soul. We remember Michael most with his grand sense of humor and his quick wit and those sparkling blue eyes. It was never a dull moment when Mike was around. Michael is survived and will be greatly missed by his long time partner, Debbie Wisley and a very special young lady, Ashley Smith. He is survived by siblings Jennifer Kaiser-Milligan of Vancouver, WA, Susan Pinto, Annette Santarini, Christopher Kaiser and Peter Kaiser all of Santa Rosa. He leaves an aunt, Mary Carolita Mahoney, an uncle, Joseph Kaiser, cousins Mary Mahoney Weaver and Michael Mahoney all from Minnesota. Michael is also survived by numerous nieces and nephews as well as many friends. The family wishes to express their full gratitude and appreciation to all who have reached out with love, blessings and kind words.
