This memorial website was created in the memory of our beloved son, brother, nephew, cousin and grandson, Michael Balinski, Jr., 12, born on January 29, 1998 and passed away on May 26, 2010.

Michael is greatly missed each and every day.  The pain doesn't go away, you just learn to live with it and to work within its confines.

Michael passed due to a bleed from an Arterio Venous Malformation.  It's a rare type of brain lesion.  We were having it treated but he wasn't meant to stay here with us.  He collapsed with the bleed on Monday, May 17, 2010 and his ventilator was removed on Wednesday, May 26, 2010.

I hope that everyone who knew him will always carry a piece of him or what he meant to them for the rest of their lives.
