Michael Meringolo, Reno, NV—The sudden and unexpected passing of Michael Meringolo has deeply affected his family and community. Michael, affectionately known as "Grog," was only 57 years old and had much life ahead of him. His love for motorcycles and his role as Vice President of the Reno chapter of Bikers Against Child Abuse (B.A.C.A.) defined much of his life, as he used his passion for riding to support children in need.
Michael leaves behind three daughters who are devastated by the loss of their father. He was known as a loving dad, husband, and friend, always ready to brighten the room with his infectious personality. His generous spirit and unwavering support for his family and friends touched everyone who knew him.
A fundraiser has been organized by Laurey Hansen to help support Michael’s family with memorial and cremation expenses. The GoFundMe page has already seen generous donations from supporters such as Debra Christ and Laurey Hansen, both contributing $100 to the cause. The fundraiser will help ease the financial burden on his family during this heartbreaking time. In addition, a fundraiser event will be hosted by B.A.C.A. on October 20th from 11 AM to 3 PM at Blitz Bar and Grill to alleviate funeral expenses.
Many members of the community have shared their sorrow through heartfelt Facebook posts. Boots from the Northern Nevada Confederation of Clubs wrote, "It is with sadness that B.A.C.A. acknowledges the loss of brother Michael Meringolo, ‘Grog,’ who now rides in paradise. This period is particularly tough for our chapter and his family. Your presence is kindly requested." Another post from Melina McKee expressed the collective grief of those who knew him.
Michael’s memory will live on in the hearts of all who loved him. We extend our deepest sympathies to his family and friends during this painful time. May Michael rest in peace, and may his family find strength and comfort in the love and support surrounding them.
