With profound sadness we announce the passing of Michael, our loving son, brother, grandson, and friend to all whose lives he touched. He left us while sleeping peacefully on June 20th, 2023. He was born September 8th, 1988 in Stockton, California to Theresa and Leonard Amador.

As a child Michael loved playing baseball, Playing Pokemon, and wrestling with his little brother Matthew. He loved taking trips and greatly enjoyed camping at Pinecrest every year. Michael was a star baseball player in little league and an all star pitcher. Michael graduated from Bear Creek High School in 2006. It was in high school where Michael grew a love for golf. his grandfather worked with him to improve his golf swing but Michael was a natural and competitive. Michael also enjoyed fishing with his father and was an avid collector of items that were valuable to him.

After high school Michael began working for BJ’s Restaurant & Brewhouse where he worked as a server for almost 10 years. In 2017 Michael began working for Tesla as a Lead Production Associate in Fremont, California. He loved his position and would spend every Saturday talking about his job duties to his family. Michael was full of personality, a movie buff, and loved exploring. His greatest asset was his perfect smile that would light up any room he was in and will forever be remembered as “Big Mike” who was respectful to everyone he met.

Michael is survived by his parents, brother Matthew Amador, his paternal grandmother Elizabeth Amador, and his maternal grandparents Ray and Ventura Jimenez. Michael will be deeply missed by his cousins, aunts, uncles, and all knew and loved him.

Charles Peet

December 12, 1958 - June 19, 2023

Peet, Charles Alan (Chuck, Chaz)

After fighting cancer for over 16 years, our beloved brother and friend, Chuck Peet has passed away at the age of 64. A Lodi resident since 1964 and a 30-year employee of AT&T, Chuck leaves many dear friends and colleagues behind.

Born in 1958 to Lester and Maxine Peet in Madera, CA, Chuck is survived by his brother Jim Peet, of Valley Springs, sister Becky Cook, of Sparks, NV, and nephew Mark Peet, of Sacramento. Chuck was preceded in death by his parents and nephew, Brian Peet, his favorite fishing buddy.

While never married, Chuck enjoyed a full and vibrant life as an avid outdoorsman and continued to do as much as possible while being treated for cancer. Closer to home, he kept a vegetable garden and lovingly cared for his dogs. He enjoyed inviting friends over to help with canning big batches of pickled asparagus and pomegranate jelly, among other things.

Chuck was also a 30-year member of E Clampus Vitus, Chapter Matuca 1849, and Tuleburg 69, and an active participant in many of their events.

He was always looking for fun and could find a way to have a laugh, no matter how dire his medical circumstances. He leaves a big hole in the hearts of many people; he had close friends from many walks of life, and several have been close buddies since kindergarten.

As one of his long-time friends said, “The world is a better place with Chuck in it.”

Memorial Service will be held on Wednesday, July 12, at 1pm at the Vineyard Chapel at Cherokee Memorial Park in Lodi, CA.

A reception and celebration of life will immediately follow at Lodi Moose on Woodbridge Road.
