Robert Michael (Mike) Rome, Jr. was born February 22, 1962 and passed away February 9, 2019.  

Kind, giving, loving, unselfish; always ready to laugh, tell a story or listen to yours, Michael was one of the good people in the world.  He celebrated life and family every day.

Family to him was his biggest priority.  But family did not just include his wife, his mom and dad or his brother’s family.  Once he met you, you were part of his family.  He would ask about how your life was going, call to see if he could help in any way or try to plan a “reunion” just because he realized how precious life was and how it was important that “family” stay in touch and together.

Michael worked for UPS in West Sacramento for 40 years before retiring in December.  His friends there were an important part of his extended family.  He also worked for several years at TGIFriday’s and made many good friends there as well.

Michael devoted a lot of his time to the District 5 Little League and the Western Regional All Stars Tournaments.  He was a mentor and great influence in the lives of all the kids involved in the sports that he officiated for.  He will be greatly missed by the Little League Community that he devoted so much of his life to.

Michael is survived by his beloved wife of 30 years (married in Kona, Hawaii), Georgina (Gina) Rome, his mom and dad, Robert Michael Rome, Sr. and Cynthia Lee Rome of Rancho Mirage, CA, his brother and sister-in-law, Britain Lee Rome and Trisha Rome and his nieces Alexa and Sydney Rome of Yorba Linda, CA.  Michael also leaves behind numerous dear cousins and other loved ones including his special friends Kevin and Suzanne LeVezu and Ralph and Shana Citarelli and family.  Your help to Michael’s family in this time of grief is greatly appreciated.  

Thank you to Dr. Alvin Sockolov and his staff for their care and friendship with Michael over the years.
