Michael Garrett "Mick" Michaud lost his fierce 3 month battle with cancer on Jan. 25, 2020. During that time, family and friends surrounded him at his home, at the hospital, and finally, in hospice care at his daughter's home. During that time, the family's relationships grew deeper and sweeter while caring for Mick and each other. When asked about his obituary, he wanted to say that the love he has for his family will never stop, even after his death. He loves them all that strongly.
Mick was born December 17, 1958 at Clark Air Base, Pampanga Province, Luzon, the Philippines. He was raised as a military brat and lived at many places in the U.S. and around the world. In addition to the Philippines, these locations included Montgomery, Alabama, Stillwater, Oklahoma, Okinawa, Japan, El Centro, California, Satellite Beach, Florida, Mahé Island in the Seychelles Islands, Dugway, Utah and Granbury, Texas.
Mick graduated as an honor student from Granbury High School in May, 1977 and from SMU in 1982 with a degree in computer science. After gaining two years of computer programming experience, he went into business for himself as M.G. Michaud & Associates.
Mick closed his computer consulting business in 2005 and pursued other entrepreneurial interests, including building custom homes and selling real estate. He established his real estate company, Distinctly Texas Lifestyle Properties, LLC, in Granbury, Texas, specializing in farm and ranch properties. He owned this company at the time of his death.
