Michael Edward Venturacci, born January 6, 1982, beloved son of Randy and Barbara Venturacci left this world on October 29, 2016.

Born and raised in Reno, he was a graduate of Reno High School. Michael attended UNLV and Cabrillo College in Aptos, California.

Michael was an avid outdoorsman who loved skiing, hunting, fly fishing, surfing and wakeboarding.

However, he was most at peace when he was enjoying the beauty of the mountains in Montana and the beaches in Santa Cruz California.

Michael enjoyed spending time with his family and friends and his canine side-kick, Leo. He was very outgoing and could always make you laugh. He never missed an opportunity to travel, have a good time, or even just take in a sunset.

Michael’s passing leaves a void in the lives of those who loved him.

He is survived by his parents Barbara and Randy Venturacci, his sister, Christina Calarco and his brother-in-law, Matthew Calarco.

A Celebration of Life will be held at The Grove on November 11th at 2:00PM, located at 95 Foothill Road Reno, NV.

In lieu of flowers, the family asks that you consider making a donation, in honor of Michael, to Join Together Northern Nevada, 505 South Arlington Ave., Suite 110 Reno, NV 89509.
