In his early years, Mike moved from Edinburg, Texas, to California while in high school. He attended high school in Selma, California. Shortly after finishing school, Mike met and married the love of his life, Margaret Delira Molina. The two stayed married for 53 years, until Mike’s passing. Mike and Margaret eventually settled in Ojai, California, where they raised their three children, Mike Jr., Manuel and Mario. Although they had three children, Mike and Margaret welcomed everyone into their household. At the Molina household people always had a place to stay and food to eat. Many people consider Mike and Margaret their second parents. Mike worked for the county of Ventura, California, as a Hazmat Inspector and owned the Ojai Artist Foundry. In 2005, Mike and Margaret retired and moved to Chino Valley, Arizona. In his retirement, Mike enjoyed fishing, making Native American art and spending time with his grandchildren. The most important things in Mike’s life were God, family and friends. Mike’s last days were spent at home on Hospice. Mike passed away surrounded by family. After trouble communicating during his last days, Mike’s final words were “I Love You” to his wife Margaret. Mike is survived by his wife, Margaret; his sister Adelina; sons Mike Jr., Manuel and Mario; eight grandchildren; three great-grandchildren; and his extended family and friends. Mike wished to be cremated upon his passing. His Rosary and Funeral will be held on Friday, June 23, starting at 10 a.m. The event will be held at St. Catherine Laboure Roman Catholic Mission in Chino Valley, Arizona, followed by a reception.
