Sorry for your loss, 53 is way too early to meet our maker but at least the memories we have for those who have passed on will carry on forever.

Dear Del Rio family and Lori. I am crying from this news. My heart is breaking. I loved Michael as a fellow artist, friend, and brother. Always so kind and sweet and so generous in his praise and admiration for others. Always so responsible in his work. I had just spoken to him because he wanted to see the show I am in: In the Heights. I was in the process of getting him tickets. I wish I could have given him that gift before his passing!!! I have so many wonderful warm memories of auditioning together and doing projects together. My prayers and condolences to you, Lori and the rest of his family. I will miss you, Michael. Que Dios te tenga en la gloria. May you rest in peace, brother. I love you,

My condolences to Michael’s family and prayers go out to a cool man that I had the chance to meet on the making of Sacred Game. Rest In Peace my Brother!

Bobby and I are praying for the entire family. He was a wonderful person, talented and I know he will be missed by all that knew him!
December 14th, 2009 at 3:44 pm
Never a moment where I didn’t see a smile on Mikes face. One of the coolest and most loving person that I have ever met. I will miss him greatly.
December 14th, 2009 at 3:57 pm
Dear Lori and Michael’s family, the lost we feel is no comparable to yours. We learned to love Michael in many ways. He was passionate about his work and life in general. I work with Michael for the first time in “Sacred Game’, he played Dr. Lopez and his performance was such that until today anybody who has watched the film affirmed that he was the best actor in the ensemble. About all, Michael was a Christian, ready to forgive the mistakes of others.
Forever in mine, and my family’s heart.

i just read about Michael’s passing, cannot believe it, he was not only a great performer, but a wonderful and kind friend, he will be missed!
About two weeks ago he turned me on to the Shoe Fund, knowing that i like shoes like him and this way i would be able to get shoes at a very low price. That was the last conversation we had.
Thank YOU Michael for being the way you were, you dont need shoes anymore, you are in God’s arms…..
December 14th, 2009 at 5:37 pm
Dear Family and Friends of Michael,
I just heard of the loss of Michael and I am very sad and sorry for your loss.
The first time I spoke to Michael was, what seems like many years ago, when he called and invited me to see “Da Spanish Mob.” There was a brief tribute to my late husband in it that was quite moving. It was a lovely gesture on the part of Michael and Nelson and it made me happy to know that Raúl meant enough to them to be included in their play.
They surprised me further when during their curtain calls that night they presented me with flowers. What a kind and considerate thing to do.
Over the years Michael would update me by sending emails from time to time and just a few weeks ago I heard from him. He waa very happy. He was excited about everything that was going on in his life, his work and his relationship. I was happy for him.
I will remember him as a talented artist and a kind and lovely man.
You are in my thoughts.
December 14th, 2009 at 5:53 pm
Dearest Lori, it is to you that our hearts pour out the Love that you and Michael shared with us over the many years the we have shared together. His passing saddens us deeply because his smile, wit and tenderness will be missed so greatly. Please be strong and know that our thoughts and prayers will accompany you throughout your time and turmoil. Much love to you always.
December 14th, 2009 at 6:28 pm
I’m still in shock, but I wanted to let you all know that you are in my heart and prayers…Mikey was one of my favorite people, and it is so painful to think he’s gone…some of my fondest memories are of working with him and Lory on skits and plays…he would do research for days on a character he was going to play in a 5 minute skit! He had such a joyous intensity when he was working on the kind of thing he loved best…communicating through his art…when I first met him, he was so fragile, but I saw the Lord break him through to the man he was destined to be…he was the BEST! Even as my heart hurts, I smile as I think of how much he loved writing and playing characters…well, I guess now he is learning how to ride a horse properly and gallantly as he prepares to follow Jesus and return to pick up the rest of us from this earth – the role of his life! And take us all to the finest dinner we’re ever going to have…I’m glad I got to know him on this side, and look forward to seeing him again!
Love you, Del Rios – you all mean so much to me. Lory, my heart is aching for you…but Jesus is holding you now. See you all Wednesday night.

On behalf of all of us who knew him and had the pleasure to work with him he will be missed.

To the family of Michael Del Rio,
I knew Michael for at least 15 years and the happiest I remember seeing him was on stage especially after doing a performance of Da Spanish Mob. His passion for performing was obvious on and off the stage. He is a blessed spirit now. May God bless him forever in heaven. His great smile will shine down on us always.
Be at peace,

To the family of Michael Philip Del Rio,
I received this e-mail and find myself in total shock to find out that a great man has passed way too soon. Michael was not only a passionate performer, Michael was a loving and passionate human being. Michael will be surely missed, Rest In Peace my friend.
December 14th, 2009 at 8:23 pm
Dearest Lory, when I think of Michael I see a radiant smile that fills the room! Always gentle, kind and considerate of others! I was always glad to run into Michael, whether it was on the set or in the gym. He will truly be missed! My thoughts and prayers are with you and the Del Rio family!

My sincere condolences to Lori his family, loved ones and to all the NYC acting community that knew him. He was a wonderful soul and I am very saddened to hear the news of his passing. May he rest peacefully…
Lori, I’m in Los Angeles… I hope you can feel the strength of my hug. Gary.
December 14th, 2009 at 8:39 pm
There are so many emotions…that right now…I am frozen…my dear, dear friend, collaborator, fellow producer, a real cinematic and theatrical artist…who I marveled at when I directed him in a feature film, and I relished our rehearsals when I directed him for the stage, and most heartbreakingly was working with him as a fellow producer for a film project that was just about ready to enter pre-production, to receive the phone call from his lovely wife Lory (a dear soul) yesterday that my artistic partner was taken…well crying has been tantamount to healing…for this is a great loss…and our community just dropped a notch…don’t know how we’ll proceed with our film…but my wife and I will pray on it…and will follow God’s Will! Love you Michael…champion…rest my dear, dear friend. Rest!
December 14th, 2009 at 8:45 pm
I have known Michael Del Rio for well over 15 years, and have worked with, prayed with, and have read the bible together. He truly was both a genuine and loyal brother who will be truly missed. I am honored and privileged to have bonded with this brother especially in these last two years (2008-09). I had taking an eight year hiatus from the Entertainment Industry upon coming back in 2008 I met him again at an audition,and as they say the rest is history.
We’ll all meet you in Heaven my brother, thanks your sharing your life, talents, time, and love.

It was a pleasure to have work with Michael. I got the chance to work with Michael in the sci-fi pilot “The Vortex”. He was filled with so much heart and passion, it was an honor to have met him. My Prayers are with his loved ones.

I have worked with Michael in many projects over the years and he was always an inspiration for me: giving, sharing, willing to do more and better … and always optimistic.
The news comes as a shock to me.
He’s touched me and now he’s found his own truth.
I do not know his family besides Lory with whom I have always enjoyed a great report, and I offer them my feelings of deepest sympathy at this time of deep loss and sorrow.

To Lori and Michael’s beautiful family,
My heart goes out to all of you. His love, laughter and wonderful sense of humor will be greatly missed. Michael and Lori and I taught Sunday School. They made each lesson come alive with God’s great love for them and made it especially fun. Sir, Jade, Asher & I adored him. May God comfort you all and may you know that he’s smiling his pearly whites at the knowledge that he IS still very much loved.

My heart is definitely broken today… and the world is empty with the loss of one of our angels, MICHAEL DEL RIO.
Words cannot truly express how I feel inside. My deepest sympathies go out to his wonderful, incredible wife, Lory, and the rest of the Del Rio family.
Michael, there are too many things about you I will miss… your selflessness, respectfulness, our long conversations, ribbing, laughing, support, sharing ideas, your sensitivity… but most of all I will miss your huge heart. There will never be the likes of you again.
You were the perfect gentleman, and you will never be forgotten, never… Rest in Peace
With utmost love and respect,
your brother in arms,
robert
December 14th, 2009 at 9:43 pm
Anyone who knew Michael can tell you that he is one of the most generous and dynamic people that they will ever meet.
I worked with Michael on 3 movies. The only reason I was able to work on these films is because Michael fought for me to be included.
I will forever look up to him as someone who fought for his friends, his family and his passion.
He was an excellent writer, actor, producer and best friend.
December 14th, 2009 at 9:59 pm
Dear Lory,
I don’t have words to express how I feel since I heard about Michael’s passing. I will miss talking to him about life & about our mutual love for the Lord! Our consolation is that we know we will see him again in eternity. Nelson & I are praying for you & all the Del Rio family. Stay strong in the Lord. God bless.
Love you, Liz Jovel

Michael I’m so sorry that we didn’t get to spend more time together. You were special and I love you for always being a humble, giving, and a caring individual. I don’t want to sit here and mourn a friend instead I want to celebrate your life. Thank you for crossing paths and being part of my journey. You will be missed my brother.

December 14th, 2009 at 11:01 pm
I am so sorry and shocked at Michael’s passing. I had the pleasure of working with him on the first short film I produced and he taught us more than we knew. He was so talented and patient with us. I remember having to help him put contacts in his eyes for one shot and us laughing about it. He will be missed. I hope to make the service but if I cannot please accept the heartfelt condolences of the Reflection Eternal family.

I was in complete shock when I heard the news this morning. Hours later and I’m still in disbelief. I remember speaking with Michael only months ago, about his projects and everything else he had on his busy mind. He was a good man, full of passion and humor and was all about the work. My condolences to your family. Now he can have some Pan Y Vino con Dios.
December 14th, 2009 at 11:05 pm
I have met Michael during the scoring period of the film Sacred Game on which Michael was the lead actor and I was the composer. Besides being a great person and friend, giving me so much support during hard post production times before the film s screening, I can also remember what an amazing talent Michael truly was. Indisputably the best actor in the film, his character Dr. Lopez inspired me in countless scenes to write the music for the film. A wonderful person, with the greatest desire to excel on all he did. We met last at the screening of the film last March on which we had a short but very passionate conversation. I will miss him deeply. My heartfelt condolences to all of his family and friends.

Dearest Lory and Del Rio family, It is with a heavy heart that i write this note. It is downright unbelievable. I am shocked. I journeyed many a day with Michael working along side him and Nelson on Da Spanish Mob. I came to meet Michael as I worked on my own projects but grew to love him as I worked to make his come true. My fondest memory was watching him work on the stage, Da Spanish Mob did come to life and we both became brothers as a result. Not too long ago, he visited our home after having endured a long process with ailing members of his family. He needed a break and the result is captured as it should be on video as he danced in my kitchen. I have provided the clip so you all can see him as I did. Having fun, being puro Latino and wearing a crazy shirt.
Para Siempre mi hermano, Gracias por su inspiracion and for your love – JB

To all my cousins, I want to express my deepest sympathy to the entire family. I was very disturbed and saddened to hear of Mike’s passing. Just two weeks ago we all shared a day of fellowship and love during our Thanks Giving Family Reunion and it was such a blessing to be there together. I can’t imagine what it must feel like to lose a brother. It must be like losing apart of your self. I want you to know that I love you all and my heart and prayers are with you and the whole family. May God bless you and comfort you during this time of grief and sorrow. Your cuz and other brother, Richie.

I knew michael in Puerto Rico when I was 17 and he was 16. We were going to attend Michigan State togheter but there was a mix up with my application. At the end I went and he stayed. I loved him like a brother we shared everything and talked about anything. Then we did not see each other for a very long time. I did see him in NYC when I moved there but afterwards we lost touch. Recently I got his information through another friend and I was planning to contact him……well I took too long Mikey. But know this, you were always very special to me and I use to llok you up in the web because I knew you would be famous. We will see each other in heaven.

Dear Michael..
Heard the news today..what a shock that you are gone…it was always a kick to me how every time I showed up at a commercial or print go see..I would sign in and look over my shoulder and there you were..It was uncanny the “internal actor clock we both shared. Or if I saw your psychedelic portfolio on a chair..I knew..”Oh Michael must be here. Was always fun to hear about the latest project you were working on..Rest in Peace..Ciao for now!!!
December 15th, 2009 at 12:19 am
My dear Uncle Mikey had a tenderness and love that was felt every moment with him. Each greeting and departure displayed such a pliable love as though it may be the last. Uncle Mike treated everybody with value and dignity. He was kind to “the least o these” the same as to those with with any sense of status. He marched to the beat of his own drum, which gave him a uniqueness that was all his own. He cared for those he loved with unwavering loyalty and devotion. As one of several nieces and nephews that he adored, I am proud to say that he was my Uncle and my friend! I am honored to be part of his family. He is one of a kind and I will forever miss him. I love you dearly Uncle Mikey. You were and always will be my man.
Your loving nephew,
Jonathan

Dear Lory and the Del Rio Family,
I am so saddened by the news of the loss of Michael. I did not have the pleasure of knowing him well but in the short time I spent with him I was struck by his passion,humor,energy and generosity. You are in my prayers.

What shocking, stunning news! I first met Michael in the 70’s and our friendship continued all these years. He was always upbeat, positive and so full of energy and fun. My heartfelt condolences to Lori and all concerned. Please let me know if there is anything I can do. Mental peace occurs when we understand that Michael is safe, secure and blessed in God’s hands!
December 15th, 2009 at 2:55 am
My condolences go to you, Del Rio Family.
Thank you for this Living Tribute.
I’m so sorry to hear about Michael. I met him around my Vaso de Leche days in “Da Spanish Mob” and working with TEC Casting on several TV/Film projects.
As I wrote on my facebook, Michael was soo sweet, humble, talented & respectful to everyone. As I look at the pictures you posted I remember Lory and him always together. I’m so sorry, Lory. I JUST saw him not too long ago at an audition. He looked well, he remembered me & we caught up for a bit.
RIP Michael. You have a community of people that love you and your name and memory will live on.

Michael para mi, es lo maximo en caballero.Como actor, respetaba su vigor, la persistencia y la ilusion de que las palabras no caigan en el vacio.Pero, no por orgullo, sino por vocacion de servicio.

His love was endless, his craft work was to perfection! This honorable man was my partner, my dear friend and my soul brother for the past 14 years… We shared many amazing journey together and we both had the same dream… “To try to make a difference within our community”. He was always ready to spread his love and his inspiration.
God Bless you and love you my dear brother. You will always be my champion. My dear Lory and to my extended Del Rio Familia my prayers are with you. -Nelson
December 15th, 2009 at 3:12 am
I am in so much shock, and I can imagine that everyone who knew Mr. Del Rio is. He was my Sunday school teacher. My absolute favorite teacher. My parents knew it too. : ) When i was a lot younger, my parents and I used to pray every night together. I remember one specific night, praying for every family that I knew in the church, addressing them by their last names. I would say, “Thank you for the Hurtados, and the Nichols, and the Morales,”etc.
When I got up to Mr. and Mrs. Del Rio, I said “…and the Doritos” lolol… I didn’t realize that wasn’t their last name, and my parents began to laugh at me, and I didn’t know why, until they let me finish praying, and explained to me that Michael and Lory’s last name is “Del Rio.” That is something that I will always remember. I always thought Mr. Del Rio was so cool, “too cool for school” because he was into acting, and to me, when I was younger, that was as cool as it got as far as knowing anyone I considered cool. haha. It is a very shocking fact to know he will not be walking on this earth with his loved ones, but we all know who he is walking with now… I send my love to you, Lory and Mr. Del Rios’ brother, nephews, and loved ones. He has affected so many lives, and cannot possibly be forgotten.
December 15th, 2009 at 6:34 am
I believe met Michael when I was helping out at Weissman Brunson Management – but then became better friends while working with him on numerous sets. He was so kind and encouraging that it helped me through the struggles in this tough industry. Because of him I’ll never forget about the free shoes from Actors Fund…lol.
Michael, Jesus loves you so much He’ll say to you “Well done my friend, well done!”

Although I know Michael’s in a better place right now, I know that the world was a better place with him in it. He will be sorely missed. My heart goes out to Lory and the rest of his family. Please accept my sincerest condolences. He was a great man and his smile and positive outlook on life will always be remembered.
God Bless

I am beyond words at this devastating news. Mikey and I have been friends since the 7th grade (New York Christian Academy). Thoughout all these years, we have maintained a friendship that I will value forever. Although many miles separate us, my thoughts and prayers are with you.
December 15th, 2009 at 9:34 am
I am at a total loss for words at hearing this news about Michael. Even though we did not see each other often, I always thought highly of him and was always amazed at the loving relationship he shared with Lory. I was also amazed at how easily he was able to love and laugh with almost everyone he met.
Like a star in the heavens that goes dim, he will be missed.
My thoughts and prayers are with Lory and his Mike’s family during this very difficult time.
December 15th, 2009 at 9:57 am
I can’t believe the bad news that I received. It is with great sadness and great gratitude that I write. Thank you Lord for Michael Del Rio. Sophistication and humility all wrapped into one. Lest I forget to include outrageous talent and a heart of gold. My heart goes out to his beautiful wife Laurie and all of his family…
December 15th, 2009 at 10:24 am
One of my earliest memories of Mike, was at 15 playing his mom’s piano & singing: As time goes on, I realize, just what you mean, to me…” I’m certain he sang to Lory throughout their years together & many love songs for he was passionate about his wife. His love for family so true and a sincere friend to all whom he came into contact with because he loved life and enjoyed blessing the world with his multi-talents. As a young man he preached God’s word with conviction and I know he now sings Amazing Grace with his parents Felipe & Stella before the throne of the Most High and only God. May we be comforted knowing we will see him again beyond heaven’s gates when we too are called to GOD’s Holy presence. We love you Mike. Aunt Odette, Uncle Isaac and cousin Ruben.

Dear Lori,
I am so sorry. Michael was not only a great performer but a wonderful man with a big heart and endless compassion. He will be greatly missed. My heart goes out to you and the rest of the family.
Love,

I am still reeling from the news of Michael’s passing, and my prayers are with Lori and their families. I met Michael & Lori at Living Word Christian Center many years ago, and they immediately became 2 of my closest friends. Michael & I served together on the board of Off-West Broadway Theatre Co. & acted together as part of the company. My favorite memories of Michael were working in our first production together (“Bunkers”). Michael would walk into rehearsal and immediately get into character & stay in character through the entire evening – on & off-stage. He never understood how I could come in, goof around, chit-chat and then just walk on stage and become the character. He said it was like I walked through a door as Dean, but came through the other side as Brady. I admired Michael’s drive to succeed in everything he did, his passion. I admired his love for Lori and their relationship. I admired everything he overcame in his life, and his love for the Lord. We spent many hours talking about our struggles and praying for each other. He had a beautiful spirit here on earth, and heaven is enriched by having his spirit there. Although I know he is with the Father, he will be sorely missed here on earth. Wish I could be at the memorial service in person, but will be there in spirit.

Lory and the entire Del Rio Family, please accept my most sincere condolences, my prayers go out to you all.
I thank the man upstairs as i am certain those of us who were fortunate to meet and or work with Michael for giving me the opportunity of crossing paths with such an amazing human being. I thank you Michael, for all you shared and for inspiring me to become a better person. I selfishly wish we’d done more.
Adios !
December 15th, 2009 at 11:44 am
Our hearts go out to the Del Rio family. We know what it is like to lose someone you love. The pain is so unbearable especially when the ones we love are taken from us so early. Take comfort in knowing that he is in a beautiful place with Jesus and other family members long past.
Always remember him.
Love,

I absolutely LOVE my family. I have always enjoyed seeing my uncles, aunts and cousins, and especially loved the times we would all get together for holidays, dinners, church services, basketball games, etc.
I will never forget my dear Uncle Mikey. I am certain that he shared these same feelings for the family. He was most definitely a special man. Aside from his obvious and exceptional talent for the arts, he was truly a loving and caring man who adored his family, but also loved people in general – from the homeless man who most people would ignore or avoid, but he would take the time out to greet… to the blind neighbor who he would go out of his way to read to… to his old friend who was dying of AIDS who he made a point to visit on a regular basis…
He treated everybody, whether they were wealthy or underprivileged, with dignity and respect. He knew what it was like to be on either end of this spectrum. God had saved and delivered Uncle Mikey from very rough and trying times in his life. And Uncle Mikey capitalized on the opportunities that God gave him to make a positive impact on countless lives.
I love my Uncle Mikey and will never forget him. He will live on in our memories and hearts. He is now in Heaven with his parents whom he held so dear, and with his Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. He could not be any happier than he is right now. I imagine he is dancing salsa on streets of gold, while worshiping God Almighty in complete and utter glory. One day we will see him again.

Michael…
Podre escribir para ti la despedida mas dulce?
Encontrare ,en letras, el hasta luego mas amoroso?
Lo lograre?
Hare todo el intento!
Mas el Todo sera futil intento!
Si puedo con letras acercarme tan solo a la orilla,
de un Mar repleto de amor,de risas, de llantos,de pasion…
soy privilegiada!
Aun sin lograrlo,
aun despues de agotar
todas las palabras
y llevar al cansancio mis dedos y mi voz…
Aun asi, la sensacion de privilegio quedara
eterna…
Por haberte conocido,
por amarte,
Por sentir hoy algo incomparable que trasciende
versos y prosas…
Que solo el Silencio,
hable por mi,hoy!

In 1999, Michael volunteered his time, energy, and talent to the Screen Actors Guild tribute to Kim Chan. Kim often spoke of how much he valued Michael’s friendship. Now they are both in heaven.
December 15th, 2009 at 2:33 pm
When Kim began to have health problems a few years ago, Michael and I discussed how difficult and yet how necessary it is to provide loving and excellent care for our elderly.
December 15th, 2009 at 2:35 pm
Dear Lori & Del Rio family… I’d like to express my most sincere & deepest condolences to you all during this tragic loss of such a wonderful, honest & multi talented individual, my dear friend… Michael Philip Del Rio.
He was the type of friend that was always ready & willing to help the cause… especially if it had to do with helping his Latino culture get that much closer to the top. He did it with such prestige, professionalism & full hearted commitment, that one could only sit back in amazement & admire him as he laid down the floor plans for a brighter tomorrow for us all. For this Michael, I am so grateful to you for because when others lacked the faith… you pushed on & gave us all that hope we so desperately needed.
I’ve spoken to the almighty God today & asked him to please
not only take great care of you, but to have his heavenly choir backed up & ready for your arrival because you surely had some great ideas to be produced & many songs to be shared that they’d truly, truly love. Lord, just one thing though… please make sure that they all know their harmonies well because when it comes to harmonies, Michael doesn’t play around.
Michael, may you rest in eternal peace always alongside of our Heavenly Father. Until we meet again your dear friend…
Angel Ramirez Jr. & Family O;)~
December 15th, 2009 at 2:37 pm
Dear Lori & Family,
We send our most heartfelt sympathy – words could never express how we feel. We are honored to have worked with Michael and to have been considered his friends. He will always be in our hearts.
Love & Peace,
Philip & Donna Gallo,

Del Rio Family,
I am deeply saddened by this loss. Michael had a love and passion for life that always brought joy to everyone he touched. I know the depth of loss for Lori is great, as they shared so much life together; always with hope, always with love. In the eternal plan, Michael continues to walk in a more profound love than any mortal can understand, but for those he leaves behind we can only say thank you Michael for making our journey a better experience.
Much love and peace to the entire family and a special hug to Lori.

OMG! My mother Irene Cales and Micheal were best friends going up in Brooklyn, the Williamsburg area. He helped me so much when my mother was ill and then ultimately passed away from HIV/AIDS. I lived in DC at the time, and he would check on my mother all the time for me! We would chat via email over the years since mother’s passing in 2006. I am so surprised….and this is such a shock!!!! I really feel like a part of me is gone, especially regarding my NYC roots.
I live in Charleston, SC, so I will not be able to attend any services. But please forward me an address so I can send something to the family.
Much Love and Many Blessings!!!!

Bonjour Jeremy,
I am very sorry to hear of Michael’s passing and I extend my deepest sympathy to you, your family, and Lory who – along with Michael – always acted as a friend on every set where we worked together.
I attach a picture with me, Donna Gallo (producer of “Mattie Fresno and the Holoflux Universe” – an independent film released in 2007 in which Michael and I had parts) in case you might want to add it to your collection.
May his soul last in eternal peace.

No creo que vaya a poder decir nada diferente a lo expresado por tantos amigos de Michael. Mi experiencia con el a través de los años fue una de mutuo respeto. Cada vez que nos encontrabamos en alguna audición la energÃa que el irradiaba era una de alegrÃa y buena vibra. Era una de esas personas a las que uno siempre quiere encontrarse en una audición. Su disposición nunca, ni una sola vez, fue de competencia o de envidia. Michael era alguien que pasaba por la vida respetando a los demás, dandole su justo lugar a los demás, asegurandose que los demás y no el, eran los que se tenÃan que sentir bien. Su increÃble bondad y enorme talento nos harán falta a todos los que tuvimos el placer y el gran honor de conocerlo. Que descanses en paz lindo Michael.
December 15th, 2009 at 3:10 pm
My condolences go out to you and your family during these difficult times. I knew Michael & Lori for a bit over 10 years. I was a fellow actor that did background work and that’s how we knew each other. I knew Lori as well so please if you see her please let her know that I’m with them in spirit during these bad times.
Best Wishes,
Cesar De Leon
December 15th, 2009 at 3:11 pm
My Condolences to Del Rio family. I feel as if a brother went on a vacation. Michael and I last worked on Dec/04. It was a night shoot and we were talking about his new project. I knew Michael for 15 years.
God Bless Him,

This came across me the other day….”Death’s power is limited…it cannot eradicate memories,or slay love..It cannot destroy even a threadbare faith,or permanently hobble the smallest hope in God..It cannot permeate the soul,and it cannot cripple the spirit..It merely seperates us for a little…That,is the only power death can claim……………
I love my Uncle Mikey and I am going to miss him dearly.As much as this hurts,there is a peace upon me knowing that my Uncle is in Heaven with my grandpa and grandma.I am so thankful to have such great memories with him.He will forever be in my heart.
December 15th, 2009 at 4:34 pm
I was stage manager on a play with Michael, only knew him the once, and a kinder, more professional actor I will never meet.
R.I.P.
My condolences to everyone who knew him, and everyone who feels this loss.
December 15th, 2009 at 4:48 pm
I am so very saddened upon learning of Michael’s passing and send my heartfelt condolences to Lori and the family. I had the privelige of attending their wedding and their romance seemed to be always be in bloom so many years later. Michael – a great actor and beautiful human being – and may his memory always be with us. Alicia
December 15th, 2009 at 5:20 pm
Dear Lori and the Del Rio Family:
I am deeply saddened and shocked by this news. While I only knew Michael for a few years, our connection as actors was incredibly strong. He was a mentor, teacher and gentleman in a business that doesn’t always allow for such humanity and grace.
I am in the midst of shooting the Happy New Year feature that Michael supported so adamantly. I will dedicated the final 5 shoot days to his living memory.
A star shines brightly for Michael Del Rio on the streets of NYC.
Love and Prayers,
Michael Cuomo

It’s now been 3 day’s since I got the news about Mikey on Sunday morning and it still hurts me to think of what a great loss we are suffering. Mike was such a cool guy and an inspiration to all who knew him. As a kid growing up, I always admired my cousin Mike. We shared a lot in common. We both shared the stage as actors, we both liked dancing, we both were always full of life and fun to be with and we were both the youngest of the brother’s in our families. I still write about the best of times when we all got together as kids visiting back and forth or to share a holiday, a wedding or a birthday, the summer reunion’s at Pam & Danny’s, the basketball games at Muncey park, the wiffle ball games and the meals we shared as we fellow shipped in spirit, prayer and song. Yes I must say, I have been truly blessed to be a part of the Del Rio/Jimenez family. Our parents, Roy, Ercie, Philipe and Estella have raised us to love one another, to give of our selves to others and to trust in the Lord first and foremost. So it is with some comfort to know that Mikey is now with the Lord, and our parents in Heaven. Nothing else matter’s more to me than family and the times we shared together, the love our familie’s have always had between us and all those who we welcomed into our lives and into our homes. May God bless us all as we remember Mikey, who will always live in our hearts and in our souls. Rich
December 15th, 2009 at 5:41 pm
Dear Lori: I am terribly sorry to learn of Michael’s passing. He was a ray of sun that lit up every room he walked into … a lovely human being above all, and someone who will be remembered for his incredible humanity and the generosity of his spirit. Lori, I send you all my support, courage, and strength in this trying period. My heart goes out to the entire Del Rio family and to dear Michael. Susana.
December 15th, 2009 at 5:47 pm
I am truly saddened at the news of Michael’s untimely passing. I will miss him terribly.
I feel blessed and privilaged to have had him up to my studio throughout the years, to audition for various commercials and projects.
Michael was a gifted actor, a consummate professional, and a good friend with a big heart.
He always greeted me with a smile and a hug.
Thank you for bringing such joy to my life, Michael. You have left a handprint on my heart.

My Condolences to the entire Del Rio family. I worked with him years ago in Hawaii. It was only a week but I felt I knew him for years. A nicer man I will never meet. God Bless.
December 15th, 2009 at 6:19 pm
To Rick and Family: May the Lord give you peace and comfort the way that only He can do. We remember Michael from Living Word Church playing the tamborine. Wow life is indeed fragile. Let’s continue to love and forgive as we go along in life. Our prayers are with your family.
Much love

December 15th, 2009 at 7:10 pm
Lori,
I am so sad to hear about Michael. When I first read the email I did not actually believe it. I thought I must have misread it. It is very hard for me to believe that this bright and humble spirit has left us. I always liked him and you so much. I knew him as a fellow actor and playwright and he was never too busy to stop whatever he was doing to give me a piece of advice or some encouragement. My prayers and best wishes go out to you and your family. I know he will be up there watching over you. God bless. Jill
December 15th, 2009 at 7:38 pm
Ricky,
I’m so sorry about your brother, I wish we could all have gotten together before this happen. I know God will be taking very good care of Mikey and we will be praying for him. He’s really the lucky one to be with God and all of his glory in the almighty Kingdom of Heaven. I know one day, we will all be together again and dwelling in the house of the Lord.But this time we will live with God forever and ever. I myself look forward to that day with bells. Love Rocky Cordero…p.s. Joey’s little brother “Rocky”
December 15th, 2009 at 8:49 pm
Goodnight little brother. We’ll see you on the other side. We love you and will miss you. You touched a lot of lives. Say hi to mommy and daddy. We’ll see you soon.
December 15th, 2009 at 8:52 pm
Oh my … we all loved the way you were, as the star you are you will shine up in the sky. We all have to go someday and yours has arrived. Let’s not wonder why. I’m not saying we won’t miss you because that’ll be a lie. But goodbye Uncle Mike. We will meet again in Paradise.
December 15th, 2009 at 9:20 pm
Miky, my little bro,
I’m hurting so bad.
Why did you have to leave us? We were having so much fun. Since Thanksgiving Day we were together again, just like when we were kids. It was awesome.
Talking, eating, chilling and playing b-ball with our sons and nephews was great. After church we played and your team won! You left without giving me a rematch. You’re one up on me lil’ brother and that’s what everybody will remember.
I love you Miky and miss you so much it hurts. God blessed me with the most giving, caring, and loving lil’ bro ever.
Miky, you started our family up again in heaven. I know mom and dad were waiting for you. Kiss them for me.
My brother, I will carry this hurt deep in my heart until the day comes when I hold your face in my hands and kiss your handsome and beautiful face.
I love you forever,
Your Big Bro David.
December 15th, 2009 at 9:23 pm
I was completely taken by surprise at the news of Michael’s passing. We spent the entire day together on the set of “Best Buy” only a few weeks ago. My sincere condolences to the entire family.
December 15th, 2009 at 9:44 pm
Dear Lory and Del Rio Family,
Luisa and I are so very sorry to hear of your loss this evening. Our hearts ache for you. Michael was THE BEST guy who exemplified enthusiasm, kindness, warmth, and love. That’s what I felt from him every single time I saw him. God bless you all.
Much love,

My heart is so heavy with the pain of the passing of my brother Mike . He was the person who taught me about friendship and unconditional love. I feel such an emptyness in my soul because Mike has passed , to alliviate the pain I have created an image of him which I carry inside me .Lory you know that my prayers are always with you as they are with the Del Rio family . I will miss the conversations with Mike and the laughter , rest in peace my brother we will ensure that your legacy of helping your community lives on .
December 15th, 2009 at 10:58 pm
“Well hello my Dear Friend!” as he always addressed me when I called. That wonderful, inviting voice coming over the lines was a delight any day- at any time. It was only to be outdone by his give-away knock on my door which usually signified an impromptu, but always welcomed visit to the Studio.
Michael brought love with him where ever he went because he WAS love and eagerly shared it with all whether he was merely buying a slice or negotiating a contract. That special light that he so generously brought into my life shown brighter and radiated farther than almost any I’ve ever experienced.
While that light has been dimmed in the world around me it continues to shine bright and live in my heart, where it will always remain. I know that the angels have escorted him to God where he will now dwell in eternal peace.
Requiem aeternam, dona ei Domine. Et lux perpetua luceat ei. Requiescat in pace.
Thank you my Dear Michael for all you’ve given me. I will always love you!

It took me a while to connect the fact that the handsome young couple sitting not that far from me at Living Word Church was “Ricky DelRio’s Brother” and “Jeremy’s Uncle.” For decades, The DelRio family has always been very special to me and I share in this great loss.
At LWCC, during the time in the service when the congregation got to share their prayer requests and testimonies, I vividly remember how seriously Mike would honor that moment, especially if he had a petition or a praise report to share.
It was in the presence of the Lord, in church, where my memories of Mike take me, and yes, it will be in the presence of the Lord when we shall all be gathered together again
With condolences and love to Lory, Mike’s brothers, my fellow-J’s (his nephews), and all the DelRio extended family of faith.

Dearest Lory,
On Dec the 11th,4 days ago,after 8 years of not hearing or seeing him,I saw Michael smiling at me in a coffee shop window. We hugged and kissed each other as we had done hundreds of times in the past. We talked a bit about what we where up to and I told him to please call me soon so we could get together and to send my love to Lory. I called my wife Wendy and told her how happy I was to see my old friend after so long and how I was sorry that we had lost touch. Today,4 days later, I feel a heavy weight in my chest. Michael was a beautiful man on the outside with his chieseled features and more so on the inside where it matters most. His heart was generous and his enthusiasm was contagious.One of my happiest memories was singing at your wedding and making your cake. His love for you was obvious and complete.I believe God gave me this chance encounter with Michael as a gift to see my dear friend one more time before we meet again.I will miss my friend,my acting buddy,my brother.There is no doubt in my mind that he is in Gods glory, in the hollow of His hand. Please know that you and your family are in our hearts and prayers.We send you our love. Que dios te bendiga mi querido hermano. Angel Elon

How is it possible that Michael passed away? What happened?
I have no words to properly express my shock and deep sadness about the loss of my talented, wonderful neighbor and friend.
Michael, Lory and I lived two doors down from each other at Waverly Place for many, many, many years. The story goes like this: Lory and Michael rented the apartment I had just vacated, (this was probably around 1976 or 1977) but, as it turns out, I quickly realized I’d made a mistake and came back to the building but “my” apartment was no longer available. I was crushed, but as luck would have it, the apt. down the hall was available so I moved in right away and this is how we met and became good friends. When the building went co-op in 1984, Lory and Michael bought their apartment and I bought mine, but we always joked that when and if they ever decided to sell, I’d buy “my” apartment back from them. And eventually, they did sell their place and I bought it and that’s where I’ve lived ever since, so I feel that they’ve been part of my life in one way or another for the last 32 years.
I still can’t believe it…
My heart goes out to Lory and the whole family and I’ll be with all of you tomorrow at the Memorial service.
Lory, my deepest condolences and I wish you strength and courage to deal with your loss.
Love, Simone
December 16th, 2009 at 12:32 am
Our hearts are breaking. We have had so many wonderful years together -first the four of us – and then with Chloe and Tessa who loved their “uncle” Mikey fiercely. Michael, we will miss you so, so much but you will live on in our hearts forever. Your love of life, your optimism, your kindness, your generous spirit have touched our lives.
To Lory – know you are in our prayers and we love you.
Love, Deborah, Jeremiah, Chloe and Tessa
December 16th, 2009 at 12:37 am
…my heart is so sad for you Lori…I always see you when I think of Michael…and see Michael when I think of you…the two of you were a couple destined to be together…
I met Michael and Lori at LWCC and have many happy memories of working with them as part of the Off-West Broadway Theater Company. Michael could make you laugh, cry and get mad at him all in a span of 15 minutes! He had such passion for everything in his life…his art, his God and his beautiful Lori.
My thoughts and prayers are with you, Lori, and with Michael’s family.
December 16th, 2009 at 1:31 am
Michael was a long-time friend, neighbor and fellow actor. We did our first scene in acting class together ages ago. And years later he and Lory inspired me to leave the corporate world and pursue acting professionally. I can’t believe that he’s gone. I’ll miss him, especially his smile.
December 16th, 2009 at 5:44 am
Mike was a frequent contributor to the Roundtable I chair on Wall Street. There never was a film script proposed at the Roundtable that didn’t include Mike’s input and he always gave it generously and honestly. I guess that describes him perfectly. Generous with his time and knowledge and always sincere in his intent to lift others around him. You’ll be missed more than you can ever imagine my friend!
December 16th, 2009 at 6:09 am
Mike’s passing was a total surprise. May God grant everyone peace in this time of sorrow.
Mike accomplished quite a number of goals during his life. He now has acomplished the big one. Being with our Lord.
December 16th, 2009 at 9:54 am
I am going to miss you, Uncle Miky. You always gave the best hugs and said the most kind words that showed how much you genuinely loved us. You had this swagger about you where you can do, say and wear anything, no matter how outrageous it was. Everyone in your presence can feel how much you truly loved them. You were one of a kind and I always admired you. Now your in heaven with grandma and grandpa. I will cherish all the memories and stories you told. I miss you dearly. I love you.
December 16th, 2009 at 10:39 am
Dear Michael i will miss you big time i remember while doing the spanish mob that was your passion you would call me and say Sixto ! i was looking over your script and saw you did not have the dot on the letter i.. i laughed. hard but that was michael.. attention to the smallest detail.. your passion for the theatre was unmatch by any of us.. your love affair with lory historic and example of what real love is.. i will miss you and often think what a pleasure it was knowing you 1000000 % CLASS ACT ALL THE WAY ..AS MY TEARS ROLL DOWN MY SHOCKED FACE..
December 16th, 2009 at 10:39 am
I just shed a few tears watching the video of Mikey’s proposal at the Owbie Awards. I had written the award show spoof, but Michael stole the show with that ad lib. What a joyous moment that was.
My most cherished Mikey memory is his wedding vows to Lory– such a theatrical soliloquy, complete with sweeping hand gestures. It was so Mikey. I also remember when he played Santa for the Sunday school kids at church. The hat and beard covered his face so that only his eyes showed, but he had used makeup to make his eyes old-looking and crinkly. Such attention to detail was also so Mikey.
There are certain people who make your heart just leap when you see them. Mikey was one of those people for me and I just can’t believe I won’t be seeing him again, at least on this side of life. I thank God I have so many wonderful memories to cherish until we’re together again in heaven.
Lory, my heart aches when I think of your unimaginable loss and I pray that you will be comforted by memories of your life with Mikey, and the love of your many friends.

December 16th, 2009 at 10:44 am
We were blessed in knowing and working with Michael. His smile and enthusiasm for life will be missed by all of us. May God Bless the Rio Family and we hope they receive some comfort by reliving beautiful memories with such a great and talented friend.
December 16th, 2009 at 11:45 am
I want to wish my daughter Jennifer a very happy birthday. Though it is a very trying time in our lives right now with the passing of my little brother. Miky loved you very much as well as little Julia. I know your uncle would’ve posted a great birthday wish for you cause he was such a great writer, but he’s gone now, but knowing Miky he’ll be watching over you from heaven fighting for all your dreams to come true. Always remember Miky’s love for his nieces and nephews was unwavering and unconditional.
December 16th, 2009 at 1:02 pm
Dear Lory and Del Rio family, my thoughts and prayers are with you, I am so sad to hear that my friend Michael is gone.
We knew each other for a long number of years,I am still the superintendent at 23 Waverly where we met and where you guys resided for so long, I will miss you dearly my friend Michael. Lory may God give you peace and comfort as well as to the Del Rio family.
December 16th, 2009 at 1:20 pm
Lory, Rick, and the rest of the DelRio family:
I was so saddened to hear of Michael’s passing. He was a warmhearted, friendly and talented guy that was always a pleasure to work with over the past 25 years. My thoughts are with you. He will be missed by so many.

just got the horrible news. Could you please tell someone to give me Lory’s number or Michael’s brothers so I could call them from Paris. I miss him so much….

I was so saddened to learn of Michael’s passing from Simone Franco this morning. Like Simone, I knew Mike and Lory when they lived at 23 Waverly Place so many years ago. Mike and I were both in the theater then, only Michael stuck with it while I switched to college teaching (the theater was always a difficult career choice). I saw Michael and Lory several times after they’d moved from this building, notably in theater events, and was always impressed by their talent and their love and support for each other.
A German poet wrote: “Auch die Schone musst sterben” (Even beautiful people must die). Michael was a beautiful person in every way. I’m so glad he and Lory found each other. Lory my heart goes out to you, although I know there’s nothing I can say except that I will always love Michael (and you).

Dear Lori and the Del Rio family,
My heart and prayers goes out to you Lori and to the entire Del Rio family: Philip, Rev Rick, David, Lynn, Julie and spouses, all Mickey’s nephews,nieces,cousins and friends which he loved so much. Even though we don’t get together often, the Del Rio family is a part of whom I am and Mickey will always be in my memories and in my heart. I will always have great memories of us in high school and the University of Puerto Rico, memories of family events and weddings where we met again. Mickey you have left your mark in my life forever. Love you always……

If the world is all a stage and we are just players in it, we’ve just lost a star. Lord, help us “play” our parts well, without our brother to show us how, and help us trust you that Your Love can bring us through. And of course, we know that we will join Michael–and you!–in our own time.
December 16th, 2009 at 5:26 pm
Hello,
I am one of Elsie Stark’s assistants.
Every time Michael visited our office he made a point of saying hello and asking me how I was. I didn’t know him well, but I knew by the way he carried himself that he was a genuine person and a gentleman.
My condolences and prayers.
December 16th, 2009 at 5:53 pm
I was completely stunned when I heard the news. My heart is so sad for the entire Del Rio family, and especially Lory. I have many fond memories of working with both Michael and Lory with the Off West Broadway Theater Co. He was a beautiful and talented person and I will miss him greatly. But we don’t grieve as those without hope… and will see Michael again one day. May Jesus hold you all close in his arms. You are in my prayers.

Dear Lori and all the Del Rio family,
Taken me up to now to be able to process the loss of our dear Michael…friend, artist, colleague, husband and one of the sweetest men I have known. Too early for this loss and the pain is so deep but Michael lived life full out every day. He was boundless energy and enthusiasm for Lori his love and for his work that brought him so much joy. So if there is any comfort it is that he did not waste a minute of his time on earth. Michael you have been taken from us too soon but something tells me you are pitching a project to the Executive Producer upstairs and that run is bigger than Broadway. Rest in peace.
December 16th, 2009 at 6:59 pm
I am deeply saddened by the news of Michael’s untimely death. He was a man of great insight and personality and his death is a great loss to the community. Please accept my sympathy in this difficult time.
Love, Carmen Marcano

One of the fondest memories I have about Michael is his Danny Aiello stunt, as he called it, that he pull off during the OWBIE Awards in 1993. He surprised everyone by getting on his knees and proposing to Lory, we were all so happy for both them. Michael you were a terrific guy, fun to be around and I am going to miss you. Much love to Lory and the entire Del Rio family, my prayers are with you.
December 16th, 2009 at 11:36 pm
I am greatly saddened by Michael’s passing. Although it has been a number of years since we worked together, I remember his high spirits and warmth fondly. My condolences to you all, and especially his family. God Bless.
December 17th, 2009 at 2:19 am
Dear Lori and Family,
The Saying goes ONLY THE GOOD DIE YOUNG this is true. Through the years I have known and worked with Michael I have always known him to be dedicated to his Craft and Culture and Always had time to give and share with others. I know in my heart his SPIRIT will Live On within all of us and also within ALL the People he has influenced and interacted with. I truly know he will be missed. God Bless and Rest in Peace
December 17th, 2009 at 11:59 am
Lory,
I wanted to share this with you. Last night I had a dream about Michael. He walked into the room with a big smile and gave me a big hug. I was shocked and said, “I thought you were gone. That’s what everyone is saying.” He laughed and said, “No, they’re wrong. Did you get the letter I sent you?”
His energy is here and will stay with you and those who knew and loved him.
God bless,
December 17th, 2009 at 1:16 pm
I work as an Assistant Director and I knew Michael from our work together on several commercials. He always had a kind word and a smile on his face. He was always a professional on set and was eager to help out in any way possible. If there were 100 extras on set Michael was never a “face in the crowd”. He was the “go to” guy who every AD knew they could trust. I shall miss him. My thoughts and prayers are with his family and friends. Bravo Michael.
December 17th, 2009 at 1:35 pm
I met Michael working on ‘Sacred Game’ Over the course of production I came to know him as a gentle, kind, talented…basically a nice guy. It saddens me to hear of his passing. “…the good die young”
December 17th, 2009 at 2:57 pm
Well Wishes to Lori,Family and Friends, I just found out of Michael’s Graduation. Always a Pleasant Smile and an Embrace was my Experience with Michael. These are my memories of him. We never expect this to happen so soon. let’s remember that the Universe Provides when we mostly need it.
With Universal Love and Peace;
Frank
December 17th, 2009 at 3:20 pm
To all of Michael’s family,
My heart goes out to all of you, and I hope that you will find the peace that you need to deal with this loss. I didn’t really know Michael all that well. We talked at auditions and the occasional job every once in a while. But, I have to say that he always greeted me with a smile, a hug, and a kind word as if we were friends for many years. I shall cherish that memory. I know that his spirit and energy made this world a better place and continues to do so, for that we should all be thankful.
December 17th, 2009 at 4:03 pm
Lory,
Michael’s warmth and energy will stay in our hearts forever. He was a genuinely good person and always made us feel right at home when we would visit with you at Christmas time. I know that Michael and Aunt Mary are looking down at us from heaven. He may have left us in body but his spirit will live on.You will be in our prayers.
Love from the Contratti family
God Bless.
December 17th, 2009 at 5:39 pm
Michael was one of the best. We last worked together on December 4th at a Gala Movie Party at the Met for “The Other Guys.” First met on an Aurora Commercial in NY Harbor the day OJ was acquitted. Enjoyed his performances on screen, on stage, in English and in Spanish. He’ll never be forgotten.
December 17th, 2009 at 7:17 pm
The Del Rio family was such a big part of our history in NYC. When Michael started working as part of the company at Off West, we immediately fell in love with him. He was such a big kid! He loved pranks. He loved to laugh, and he loved to act. He was so intense. Even after all of these years, I can still hear his voice as Gus saying, “I know a lot about a lot!” And that was Michael. He did know a lot about a lot. No one was more dear to us. And what incredible passion he had! This is such sad news. Lori, our love to you. You were/are a part of that same history for us. You both played such a huge role in what shaped us in those days in NYC. We will always see you together. What a great pair you made!
David
Lori, Ricky just called to tell us about Mikey. I cannot yet wrap my mind around this terrible, untimely loss! We are so devastated. How dear you both have been in our thoughts and prayers. Whenever we reflect (and that is alot) about NYC, the 2 of you are at the top of the list. Whenever we go to a movie, we look for you and Michael. The last time we saw YOU, we literally shouted “LORI” really loud. We got so excited, we couldn’t stop ourselves. Please know that we are not shouting now. We are so very sad. For you. For the Del Rios. For the earth. Thank the good Lord we will be reunited one day, but for now…we are sad. We love you and continue praying for you.

Uncle Mike….hoy te dimos el ultimo adios…de verdad que en estos momentos faltan la palabras para expresar mi sentir….Gracias por ser uno de los mejores seres humanos que conoci en esta tierra…eras, eres y seras un ejemplo a seguir…tu legado seguira de Generacion en Generacion…te amo y te seguiremos amando por siempre…nos vemos en el cielo donde ganaremos nuevamente partidos de baloncesto y donde te podre ver actuando nuevamente…
Gracias a Dios por darme el privilegio de ser parte de la mejor familia sobre la faz de esta Tierra, La Fam. Del Rio…
Love you with all my heart, your nephews, Coral & Jesse
December 17th, 2009 at 8:22 pm
Michael is in my earliest memories of walking with the Lord in New York City. Being with him, even if it was only for a moment, brought you into the presence of the sweetest and gentlest Spirit of all. How we will miss you, Michael. Lori, you’ve been in my prayers since I heard the news. May you be comforted by your memories and know that one day soon we will all be in the presence of the Lord Jesus. Much love to all the Del Rios.
December 17th, 2009 at 9:10 pm
I’m still in shock….
Michael not only touched adult hearts, he had a way with even the toughest of kids; they sensed his love for them. I remember him as my son Uriel’s Sunday School Teacher; Michael was one of the few who could get Uri to smile and chuckle….and that’s saying a lot. Uriel was a “tough nut to crack,” but Uri couldn’t resist Michael….I always admired Michael for that, as well as his gifted and passionate artistry.
God’s Love, Peace, and Comfort to Lori, Ricky, the Del Rios, and all those who were close to Michael.
December 17th, 2009 at 9:23 pm
I am so sad that I didn’t get to talk to Michael a few months ago when we played phone tag back and forth. I went to NY Christian Academy with Michael, David, Ricky, Arlene, Richard, etc. and have awesome memories of all of our friendships! My entire family is very sad to hear of our loss here on this earth but rejoice with the saints that Michael has gone home where he belongs with our Lord and Savior. There’s a huge celebration still going on right now. Our prayers are with the Del Rio family and all those who loved Michael as well.
December 17th, 2009 at 11:16 pm
Dear Miky. It’s been a whirlwind since Sunday morning. Almost a blur. I have many wonderful memories. From when mommy brought you home in your baby blanket to you running around with your long Jerri curl hair at 4 years old. You and Davey were inseparable. You loved to have fun. You were full of energy. Even as a little boy you gave it all you had and were kind to everyone. You lived 53 years and I had the honor and awesome privilege of being your brother. You lived your life to the full. It’s so hard to believe your gone. You made us all proud. How beautiful are the stories and the memories that have been shared by those you touched, inspired, helped, served, loved and were a friend too. You loved unconditionally and forgave as God had forgiven you.
You loved Jesus and you went out of your way to encourage and compliment me when you heard me preach. You loved us all and reminded us of our siblings birthdays. Mikey, I have a lifetime of memories that will comfort me and will be able to talk about. We are blessed with the most awesome family. You were one sixth of the siblings and now there is a big void. I love you so much and will miss you. For now we’ll take care of Lori like you have done for so many. She’s our sister and she was there with you for the last 31 years. We love her. Your unexpected departure really hit us hard. But we know this is temporary. God will take us through. He gave us a hope that transcends the pain and the sorrow; the promise that we will meet again in Glory. So my little brother, you grew to be a great man. You knew the value of relationships and you were loyal, caring, gracious and generous. Your legacy will live on. Thank you for being you. I love you forever. See you in heaven. You are in a better place. Rickey
December 17th, 2009 at 11:54 pm
When I heard about his passing, I thought it was a mistake, someone else, someone older who shared his name. But no, he is gone too soon, way too soon. He had a tremendous grace to him. A smallness that filled the room. He was and will remain, a man who always seemed to cherish the peace he had attained. He and his lovely wife Lori were perfect together. He will be truly missed.
December 18th, 2009 at 12:32 am
I am making one final entry into this wonderful memorial log. I feel so joyful to read all these precious words that all of you have shared. There is no doubt that Mike was a well loved brother, cousin, friend, uncle, nephew, neighbor, co-worker and a son of God. He has touched many lives and has left countless memories to keep his spirit alive in our hearts forever. To me, a real man is measured, not by wealth or by financial success but by the unconditional love he gives, the pure joy he brings and his unselfish life he shares with his family, friends and strangers. As we have read, Mike has done all of that. His spirit will live on and his example of the life he lived will bless us all from here on after. During the past few days, we have all mourned and grieved together but we have also rejoiced and celebrated his life that we all know can not be matched by any other. I felt such comfort and peace as I shared these past two days with Lori, our family and with many of Mike’s friends, to know that Mike was truly and undoubtedly a well loved man. And for his kindness, his goodness and his generosity, his rewards will be great in Heaven. I will miss you my dear cousin Mike and I will try to live my life by the example you set. And to the rest of my loving cousins, remenber, you still have one more younger brother left and I love each of you with all my heart. Richie
December 18th, 2009 at 9:48 am
I have known Michael over twenty years, and during that time he has been a true brother to me. It was a privilege to attend his beautiful service, so full of joy and life, just like the man himself.
This was someone who I could spend 12 hours on a set with, and still be laughing and talking by the 13th hours. He was such a positive spirit, always with a smile and a hug for ALL. I so admired his professionalism, his devotion to his writing and his projects.
But the greatest thing about him was his deep and profound love for Lory. God Bless Lory and the entire Del Rio family, the NY actor community shares your loss.
December 18th, 2009 at 7:15 pm
Dear Miky, I remember so many long talks we had when you lived with us after high school. Rick would fall asleep some where along the line, and you would keep talking sometimes well into the night. You had so many questions- about God, life experiences, and your future. So many decisions to make. Do I go to ORU or should I go back to P.R. and go to the University of Puerto Rico? You eventually made that decision and left to go back home. We have many good memories over the years. I was so impressed with the many many people who came to your funeral and told us how you had affected their lives. There was your 86 year old neighbor who shared how great you were to her. So much so that she declared there was no one that she loved more. You affected so many lives. You know, so many things that are so important to us, won’t matter a few years from now. What will matter is the legacy that you pass on to others. That will last much longer than our lives. You sure did that Miky. You blessed so many people. You were Jesus in the flesh to so many. Good job bro! We will miss you, but we know we will see you again. Love you, Arlene
December 18th, 2009 at 7:28 pm
I also have ben moved by the words and comments of many regarding the caring and loving ways of my brother Michael. My wife and I have coined a phrase the “Del Rio Way” which means to have compassion and treat other with respect and dignity as Mike did countless times ( just ask Ramon). The world is not just us but beyond us and our purpose is to extended ourselves to others and that to me is Mikes legacy . May God bless you and your loving family as well as Lori’s family . To all of those who mourned the passing of my brother thank you for all of your loving suport .
December 19th, 2009 at 1:01 am
My brother Mikey… I feel totally lonely without you… You knew me best. You were the only person that I would speak to about everything… So bro, I need to say what’s up my brother how’s things, you chillin’, things are good, cool… that brings a smile to my face. yeah bro, Prince Julian is doing well, thank you for asking… Oh boyeee, I miss you. Love you bro. Happy Anniversary Mikey y Lory!!! Love you. Palante siempre palante Nelson
December 19th, 2009 at 4:30 pm
I was just informed that little Mikey, as I had known him, went to be with the Lord this past Sunday. I’m beside myself. I remember my best friends, David DelRio (Mikey’s brother), as well as, Irad Delgado and myself looking after him, back in 1972 when we had attended New York Christian Academy in Brooklyn. Seeing all that Mikey had accomplished, it is no wonder why the Lord decided to bring him home. God now has something “Special” for Mikey to do. I pray that the Lord brings a peace, to the entire family, which surpasses all understanding!
Thank God this is not “Goodbye, this is “See you later!”
“I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith. Now there is in store for me the crown of righteousness…”
2 Timothy 4:7-8a
December 19th, 2009 at 4:40 pm
I really wish I had a way with words. Where do I begin? … My baby brother Mikey was the wordsmith…… Mental and emotional perpetual motion phenom with limitless passion for all things large and small, people – rich or poor – young or old – important or insignificant …. He knew no boundaries for helping anyone that needed anything. No matter how long it took he would not stop until he was sure his help was no longer needed……where do I begin?? …… The expression of his love for his wife and each individual family member, close or distant, was as beautiful and never-ending as this masterpiece of a human being God created as he breathed the stars….. where do I begin??? This love was experienced by people known and unknown to us.If you ever, even in passing, knew Mikey and he knew you were ill or in the hospital he would show up to listen, share, comfort and laugh. If you were seriously sick he would visit every day to let you be sure there was nothing he wouldn’t do for you…. Where do I begin????…..His love for his craft and fellow actors, collaborators, writers, producers, stage hands, etc. was something wonderful as evidenced by the outpouring of love, tears, and endless stories of how special he made them all feel…… Where do I begin?????…… His passion for learning and and perfecting his craft was a non-stop campaign as he strove for excellence – He wanted to become familiar with the Bible so he read it cover to cover — several times!. He would spend countless hours helping friends that needed his help to perfect a script and asked for nothing in return. He would not stop until he was totally prepared for his own undertakings no matter what field. He wanted to be a good dancer and soon was teaching ballroom dancing …… Where do I begin??????…… To us he was the consummate story teller, just ask a question or state a fact and he could go on and on about experiences and people that he was so obviously fond of…… Where do I begin???????….. The last few years Lory and Mikey have endured the deterioration of her parents due to age and illness. As they both selflessly traveled to Long Island and back, in an endless trip of love and caring, they lost control of their lives. All their projects had to be put on hold and unable to be available for work, worry and stress took its toll. Through sickness and anxiety of their own they never stopped. Lory’s Mom passed but their efforts continued to keep her Dad comfortable in spite of various conditions. In the depths of their horrible situation The Lord’s hand is so visible to me. In the last five months we were together more than in the last fifteen years. Recently my brother Dave as well as my sister and brother-in-law who live in Puerto Rico were able to be with us and the rest of the family having fun, going to church, loving and laughing, reminiscing, playing games and talking about the future. Most important to me was Mikey and me praying and fasting together seeking the Lord’s strength and blessing. I never saw him so happy……..WHERE DO I BEGIN????????
There are no words to express the pain and sorrow in that huge hole in our hearts and through my tears I am so happy that God’s GRACE was indeed enough for Mikey…….. As the master of ceremonies of the welcome party in heaven I’m sure Abraham, Moses, Paul, and all the rest are crackin up cause Mikey’s humor can be relentlessly irreverent.
Mikey stories are endless and all who knew him would fill up a thousand blogs like this if they could.
I miss you, love you, and will see you soon baby brother.
I could talk about you for weeks, but….. Where do I begin?????????????
December 20th, 2009 at 9:17 am
Dear Cousin Lory and Family,
I was so shocked and saddened by news of Michael’s passing. Although, I didn’t know him all the well, I know he was so full of life. The last time I saw him was at Aunt Mary’s memorial service. His tribuite to our beloved Aunt Mary was so full of love and laughter. I can feel his love and compassion for other as I read the comments from his friends and family. He was a good soul! I know his spirit will continue to touch many lives.
My deepest thought and prayes are with you.
Love, Cousin Angela
December 20th, 2009 at 3:55 pm

Love and miss you bro!
December 21st, 2009 at 5:50 pm
Oh, Miky! I miss you, SO MUCH! I can’t help crying when I think of you. I still can’t believe you are not with us anymore. I wish I could call you up, just to listen to your beautiful voice and spend time talking with you as we always did. I know you are with the Lord now, in peace and in a place where beauty is matchless and incomparable. I just want you to know that you are the GREATEST gift a brother and sister could ever have. I thank God so much for you, for having lent you to us; I only wish it could’ve been for a longer time. So many memories I have of you… I will cherish them forever. You have enriched our lives in so many different ways… with your brotherly love, your compassion, your kind spirit, always moved to bless, to help, to encourage; your joy and laughter, your intelligence and knowledge, your gifts and talents, your diligence, your passion… Words cannot express all that you mean to us and the ways you have blessed us nor the void you’ve left in us… I pray we can overcome this sadness and rejoice in knowing that you are well, and that one day we will see you again in glory.
I love you, my dear brother, and I can’t wait to see you again! What else can I say but that I miss you, SO MUCH!!…
LOVE YOU, your lil sis, Julie
December 24th, 2009 at 3:37 pm
Realmente la muerte nos llega a todos aun estando vivo.Me dio mucho dolor el saber que nos esta con nosotros aunque no fue un amigo cercano de Mike pero cada ves que alguien por mas cercano o lejano se nos va nos da en la cara y nos recuerda a todos lo finito y transitorio que es la vida y nos pone pensar que realmente esta vida tienen un final sin anticipacion……
January 1st, 2010 at 12:38 pm
My Cousin, My Friend, My Brother, My family….
My Memories….
All these you have been to me throughout my life.
Of course the love and bondship felt and shared between cousins has never been felt to the world like the bondship between DelRio and Jimenez
Through the years you have touched me, mold me, inspired me, hung out with me and loved me…
Weather we played on the street, sat in a church, hung at a club,or during our family get togethers.
You always made it special to me.
Growing up as kids, as a teen, as young men to the adults we have grown to be, all the roads travelled and the moutains climbed, through all the ups and downs life puts in our paths…
The one thing that has always remained as a Rock is the love, the trust, the dependability, the comfort was readily available between the families over the years and never diminished.
May it never will.
Mike as I have told you many times through the years, you have always been a big part of my life.
We have shared our experiences and stories and we sometimes kept our selves in check doing so.
I have always been Proud of you!
Who you were and what you were, to me and to the world… You was BIG in my eyes and in my heart.
You enrichened my life just by being you …
I am glad that I actually shared this with you many of times before My Cuz… Because whom ever shall read this I want to say them what My Mom always use to tell me…
Send me the Roses while I’m alive,so then I have sent you Rose Gardens my Cuz…
You shall live always in my heart…
And to the rest of my Del Rio Family, I send you roses from my heart. Each and every one of you…
You have always been a huge part of my life.
I am very Thankful to God For all of my family
Phil, Rick, Lynn, David & Julie I love you all very much. I thank God for all of you.
I thank God for my Cousin Mikey & the Faith and Belief we share, knowing We shall Be together again in with Christ … Amen
