GRAFTON – Michael James Barresi, formerly of Natick, died on November 9, 2020. 

Devoted father of Dylan Barresi of North Grafton.  Beloved son of Robert Barresi, Sr. and Jeannette Barresi (Leone) of Natick.  Dear brother of Christine Cashman and her fiancé William Kirk of Charlton, Robert Barresi, Jr. and his wife Diana of Oxford, and Peter Barresi and Kelley England of Ashland.

Mike enjoyed many things including riding his bike, working out, playing sports and playing with his son Dylan. He also enjoyed watching the Patriots and the Red Sox.  He was a devoted New England sports fan.  He was a talented dancer who loved to dance with his brothers on any occasion.  He really enjoyed doing anything outdoors, especially the Cape.

After Mike’s diagnosis of his brain tumor, he was determined to live his life to the fullest. 

His passion was to spend quality time and enjoy each day with his son Dylan.  They both likes spending time together doing all sorts of activities and loved to vacation at the Cape.  Mike was fond of the Orleans area at Rock Harbor Beach, this was his place of comfort for him and Dylan to cherish for a lifetime.  Mike and Dylan loved to watch the Cape Cod league baseball games; they loved the Orleans’s Firebirds.
