He will always be loved and dearly missed by his parents, Paul and Marla Diamond of Wadsworth, IL and his beloved brothers, Christopher (Julie) Diamond of Lake Forest, IL and Zachary Diamond.

Michael was preceded in death by both his grandmothers, Esterle Cobourn and Edna Maxwell.  Michael will be laid to rest next to his beloved Grammy.
