Michael Erpenbeck

Michael James Erpenbeck, 61, passed away suddenly at his home on June 14, 2022. Michael was born on January 23, 1961 and was raised in Los Alamos, New Mexico by his parents, Jeanne and Jerry Erpenbeck. He graduated from New Mexico State University with a B.A in Accounting. Mike worked for over thirty years for the Pojoaque Tribe at Buffalo Thunder Casino.

 Mike was preceded in death by his father Jerry Erpenbeck and will be lovingly remembered by his surviving family members: his mother, Jeanne, Dave and Debbie, his sister Debi, Dan and Elsa, Steve and Priya and son Josh, Greg and Heather and son Eli, Eric and Susan, and Kris and Kathy and their three children Kaitlin, Christine, and Tasha.

 Mike loved animals and supported many animal organizations. His family, two dogs,  and two cats will miss him.

 Mike was a compassionate and generous person who was sincere and honest in all of his dealings. Mike was a very special and unique person.  He never changed who he was to please another person.  He also was an avid reader of mystery novels and loved spending hours watching reruns of various mystery shows.

Mike has been reunited with the love of his life, Billie Bob Wakeman

The Erpendeck family has entrusted the gentle care of their loved to Rivera Family Funerals & Cremations of Espanola, New Mexico.
