Obituary – Michael Ray Alton,
August 1, 1966 – June 6, 2024

CONCORD, CA (August 18, 2024) — On June 6, 2024, we lost one of the good ones. Michael R. Alton, age 57 of Concord, CA, was a hardworking father of two kids, McKenah and Garrett, and a caring husband to his wife Laura. He was born in San Francisco, CA on August 1, 1966, to Shirley Utterback and Raymond Alton.

He passed peacefully in his home in Concord. He loved his family, friends, music, golf, “The Godfather,” the 49ers and ice cold beer. He spent 40 years in the printing industry, in which he took great pride. He loved working with his hands – in his spare time, one might find him taking on projects around the house or lending a hand to friends with projects of their own.

In November of 2022, Mike was diagnosed with glioblastoma, a form of brain cancer. He battled for a year and a half, taking each new challenge with hope and positivity despite constant pain, as he always did.

He was loved by so many.

One of his main concerns in life, but especially the last few months, was making sure his family was taken care of. He was greatly appreciative of the outpouring of support shown to our family from the moment he was diagnosed.

He now rests peacefully, preceded by his mother and father, his beloved uncle Roger and his close friend Vince. He is survived by his children, wife, sisters, nephews, aunts and cousins. Services are being planned for this summer.
