FAHY, Michael Francis

Michael, I am so very grateful to have known you. Each memory of the friendship I was fortunate enough to have with you, will be forever cherished. From the tacky jokes, the deep discussions about life and to the cantankerousity and everything in between. You were, and always will be one of a kind.

To the Fahy family, I am so very deeply sorry for such a loss.

Sending my love to you all

Michael,
I have been so blessed to have known you and your beautiful family! You came back into my life for a reason! You have mentored me to be a better person and to be able to live to be a better person. You were there in my darkest moments and helped me through the most hard times that life threw at me. I will never forget what you have done for me.i cannot thank you enough! We had so many laughs together and you always treated me with the upmost respect and like a real friend! You always invited me into your home with open arms and truly I respect you for that.
Thank you for being a great friend and always being there for me!
I will miss your crazy laugh and your reassuring voice!
Your Mum and Dad will be waiting for you with the biggest smiles on their faces knowing you have helped so many people!
My thoughts and prayers are with all your family!
You were a true gentleman and a very wise man.
Miss you so much already!

“No one expects the Spanish inquisition”… there is a void now that cannot be filled… or maybe it could with enough chocolate and Doritos, who knows! I love you brother. ‘Till we meet again. With love from your sister Allicia, Nellie and Brian

A great man has left this world, the impact Michael made will never fade. He was someone many looked up to not just for what he did but for who he was. In moments of uncertainty he had a way of making everything feel okay. His presence brought calm his words brought comfort and his strength gave others something to hold onto. He didn’t need to be loud to be powerful, the way he was himself the way he showed up for others and the way he made people feel and spoke to with such guidance that will stay with us forever. He showed a lot of us how to be stronger, kinder, more grounded and much more. Michael made the world become a better place as those who knew him always learnt something about how to be a better human, losing him here leaves a space that can’t be filled for many and with that now comes great pain that so many of us will share in our own ways. My heart goes out to everyone that loves him especially the Fahy’s, family and his four children.

May we all carry forward the lessons, memories, and the wisdom he gave (maybe one of his jokes or two as well). He will always be remembered, respected, deeply missed and so loved
Thank you Michael, may you rest peacefully 💚

Michael, what blessing it has been to have you in my life, all the deep conversations, guitar sessions, and beautiful moments, i will carry with me for the rest of my life.
Thank you for your friendship, and your advice over all these years. You have been an incredible mentor to me, and i will never forget you.
Have fun up there mate <3

Our thoughts and love to all in this hard time 🩷

R.i.P. Micheal. I hadn’t seen you for many years but I have fond memories of you. You where such a great guy.

So sad to hear of your passing. You were indeed one of a kind. you will be forever on my mind.
I shall forever remember the pleasure I had working with working with you and Dennis.
Rest in Peace old friend. John & Peter Presley.

RIP Michael. My heartfelt condolences to the Fahy family.
Great memories working together. Definitely one of a kind.

God bless you Michael.

I will never forget your fast car, your head high Tae Kwon Do kicks, and most of all, your kindness and friendliness.

Gosh, I moved out of Traralgon just under 40 years ago, Michael and I used to knock around together on our bmx’s in the mid 80’s, spending many hours perfecting the kangaroo hop over his rubbish bins. I always loved his accent and his never give up attitude at trying to get over these rubbish bins. He also was clever, actively encouraging me to ride down the church steps opposite McDonald’s, church is now gone. Once I did and survived, he followed me down. I wished I stayed in contact as adults. I truly admired and respected Michael, as teenagers, he was always so nice and respectful to me, I am grateful to have had Michael as a friend.

Sincere condolences to Michael’s children and all the Fahy family on your loss. We will always remember the good times we had together with our cars over the many years. Michael was one of the nicest guys you could ever meet. He will be greatly missed.

Michael will be sadly missed by all who knew him. IHe was one of the kindest people I have had the pleasure to know. His love for his children was always apparent in our conversations. Gone but never forgotten by those that knew him. Rest in peace Michael. Condolences to all the Fahy family.

Our beloved Uncle Micheal,
You lived with a kind of depth and understanding of life that many people rarely have. You always had an ear to listen and a shoulder to cry on for anyone who needed it. We were so lucky to have you, it was nothing short of a blessing.

You will live on through Katey, sarah, and Jay, and with every heart you touched.

We love you so much 🤍 Sláinte, Uncle.

Cutting you loose is hard, yet knowing you’re free is Everything.

Thank you for the gift of all the memories and moments shared, every “fix it” phone call, the wisdom, confide, and each outrageously inappropriate comment in between.

No one could ever fill you shoes or take your place, so one final thank you for your greatest gifts of all – to know them is to love them 💚💚💚

Mickel. To everyone you could renovate rooms, rebuild motors, mend broken bodies & soothe tormented minds.
You could sketch, draft, paint & sculpt.
Fabricate, panel beat & weld.
With patience of a saint you would listen & learn, give sage advice when required, & be blunt & stern. Oh, & lift heavy things too.
Not a bad skill set for “just” a rigger & scaffolder!
But to me, you were simply my Brother – someone I was always very proud of.
Your quick wit & quirkiness will be sadly missed & though we didn’t get a chance to say goodbye, I’m OK with that cos as brothers, we can never be parted.
You will live on in our hearts, in our memory, & in our thoughts
You may be gone but your spark will never fade.
Love always,
Eamonn & SuzyQ xxx

Worked with Michael on many different sites over the years. A man with strong opinions but a warm and generous heart. Fond memories of many discussions about life.

From the early bmx days to build and racing cars together and all of the deep and meaningful conversations. I will miss you my wonderful friend. Sending my love to all your family and friends. Rest in peace.

Michael, the world has lost a truly remarkable man.

You were a light in dark times for so many — myself included. You had such a beautiful way of softening the weight of life with your wisdom, perspective and laughter. Your guidance was deeply influential in my own spiritual path, and I will always be grateful to have known you. The impact you had here will continue to ripple on. Fly high my friend 🧡

To Katie, Sarah and Jay — my heartfelt love and condolences to you all. The pain of your loss is the price we pay for loving so deeply. Your dad was a remarkable man and you are all reflections of him. May you continue to feel him in the quiet moments, in the laughter, in the memory of his sparkling eyes and in all the ways love never truly leaves us.

Thinking of you all, and sending love to your family and all who knew and loved him.

Our deepest condolences to the Fahy family on the passing of Michael.
I only met you a couple of times but through our sons Jay and Steve there has always been a connection.
You were an absolute gentleman and a beautiful human being
God rest your soul and may God give the family strength to carry on in Michael’s name. 💔

Michael,
You were my brother,
A unique individual and loved by so many.
You left us way too soon.

And as we gather to honour our brothers memory,
Know that his love and legacy will forever live on in the
hearts of all who knew him.
Especially his kids who adored him so so much.

Our family chain is broken and nothing will ever be
the same.
But as were called back one by one
The chain in link again.

RIP Brother – xx

Uncle, Gone to soon. My heart hurts, but i am greatful i got to have such an amazing man as an uncle. You always welcomed me and always made me feel loved and appreciated. Forever in my heart, everyone that had the pleasure to meet you, loved you. Rest easy Michael! We shall meet again 💞

Dearest uncle ‘of sorts’, our great portal of wisdom, friendship, unmatchable humor, and incredible generosity and kindness, to say you will be missed is an understatement ❤️

But rather than dwell on that, I will leave here what a incredible gift it’s been to know you, and to watch my beautful partner thrive with your guidance and love over the years.. you have planted many a seed of brilliance that has grown through everyone you’ve touched, a kind word, reassurance in times of need, laughter at the ready, and as always an impeccable ability to be the most steady and and dependable being, the calm amidst any storm.

These attributes and qualities, will be instilled in our next batch of wee Fahy men, and your wisdom love and guidance will continue to echo through, especially in times where more play and patience is required.

You need only to look into the faces of your 3 amazing children, your greatest treasures, to see the essence of you and your magic in its purest and fullest form. ❤️

We love you Micheal, whole heartedly, it’s been an absolute pleasure to have you in our corner. Settle down for the great Knap with a K, you are so very loved.

Love Tara, your ‘niece of sorts’, and her band of merry Fahy men

So many fond memories of you Michael, always such a gentleman with such caring nature. Always made me laugh.
Fly high Michael you will be missed dearly 💖
