Michael Louis DuFrain II left this world too soon on February 18, 2023 surrounded by his loving family. With his contagious smile and generous, outgoing nature, Michael was a treasure to his mother, many friends, and large extended family.
Born on May 20, 1965 in Page, Arizona, he was a beloved son, brother, father, uncle and nephew. Michael is survived by his son, Jacob DuFrain, his mother, Kathleen DuFrain, his two sisters, Melissa Sutton (Vollee) and Kristina Marshall (Douglas), and preceded in death by his father, Michael DuFrain.
Michael was a lover of all genres of music, his Irish heritage, rodeo (a bull rider in his college days), his beloved New England Patriots, and his friends and family. He was a proud member of the Delta Chi Fraternity and thrilled to be at the reunion with his brothers just weeks before his passing.
Visitation will be held on Thursday, March 2, 2023 from 4:00 – 7:00 p.m. at Whitney & Murphy Funeral Home, 4800 E. Indian School Road, Phoenix.

I met Michael when he lived in Hobbs NM. I remember that contagious smile, sweet spirit he had was always a pleasure to be around. What stood out the most to me was his strong faith in the Lord that was a true inspiration to me. May the hope we have in Christ bring you peace and healing as we anticipate what Michael is now experiencing! Lifting each of you in our prayers!
