"We just found out from the RIT newsletter. Carl was in our wedding in June of 1991. He was such a great guy. Paul and I were so shocked to read about his death. Please accept our condolences."
In loving memory of
Carl Patrick Michaud
Carl Patrick Michaud, 53, passed away on 5/15/19 at his home in Arizona. He was the husband of Debbi Lynn Michaud (Mead). They shared 24 years of marriage together.
Born in Hartford, CT, he was the son of Francis Michaud and Juliette Ouellette Michaud. He grew up in the Elmwood neighborhood of West Hartford. He graduated from the Rochester Institute of Technology with a degree in Mechanical Engineering. Carl worked as a waiter at Paul Martin's American Grill in Scottsdale, AZ where he was able to share his wonderful and outgoing personality. Before moving to Arizona, he worked as the bar manager at Max-a- Mia Restaurant in Avon, CT for 13 years.
He enjoyed riding his yellow 1994 BMW K75 Motorcycle, celebrating the New England Patriots dynasty, painting, writing poetry, and spending time with his family and friends. Carl spent much of his life in the food service industry and was a "foodie" and wine connoisseur. He will be remembered for his sense of humor, down to earth manner, big smile and calming presence. Carl took immense pride in his children and was a loving husband and father.
He is survived by his wife Debbi, and children Michael (Erina Luczkow), Evelyn (Kyle Backer) and Lauren; grandchildren Leila, Addy, Leon and Sera Luczkow; and siblings Rachel (Howard Freed), Donna (Hank Surzyn), Gary (Teri), Joann (Marshall Deming), Denise, Gina (Chris Walters) and John; and many nieces and nephews. He is predeceased by his sister Monique.

"Carl made such an impression on me from the first time I met him. A remarkably good-natured, warmhearted, and gracious person, Carl was extraordinary in a million wonderful ways, and, as kind, warm, and unassuming as he was with friends and acquaintances, it was always apparent what a loving and amazing husband and father he must have been. Carl left an indelible impression on everyone around him; he made a world of difference in this world, and my heart aches for his family. Please accept my deepest sympathies, Laurie"
