Joseph "Mickey" Michael Lynch

Joseph Michael “Mickey” Lynch, age 65, of Fremont, California died on December 5th 2017 in a tragic accident. A steady and kind friend, Mickey will be greatly missed by all who knew him. Mickey Lynch was born to Eleanor Elizabeth Roselauf and John Anthony Lynch on September 10, 1952 in St. Louis, Missouri. He proved a capable student at the University of Missouri earning a Bachelor’s degree. Mickey then attended St. Louis University where he graduated in 1980 with a Master’s Degree in Business Administration. Possessing an obvious proficiency for accounting and numbers, Mickey migrated from St. Louis to the Bay Area in 1982. Mickey married Sharon J. Parker at Mission San Jose in Fremont in 1989. He worked at a number of tech firms in the start-up heyday of Silicon Valley including ITT and Atari. For the last 16 1/2 years Mickey worked as a key employee at XP Power Corporation in Sunnyvale, California. He was recently Vice President and Treasurer at the Company. With a quiet gentle kindness and ever-present sense of humor, Mickey was greatly loved within the Fremont community. He genuinely enjoyed the better things of life; hiking, food, music, wine and sports. There was always hope for the Cardinals, San Francisco Giants, the 49er’s and the Warriors. Good red wine from Alexander Valley was always welcome as was his favorite sushi. Mickey had a soft spot for pets and animal friends. He loved California with its mild dry weather. When asked where he wished to retire, Mickey wouldn’t answer, saying he already lived in the place he enjoyed most. “Don’t push it,” he often counseled others in the modern busy world. He is survived by his wife, Sharon and his son Jonathan, age 23. He is preceded in death by his brothers: James Francis, John Anthony and Thomas John. His only living sibling is Margaret Ann “Peggy” Turek of Tarpon Springs, Florida. A mass-service will be held at the Old Mission San Jose in Fremont on Friday, December 15th at 9 AM. In lieu flowers, the family requests donations be sent to the Tri-City Animal Shelter (make checks payable to City of Fremont, indicating For: Animal Shelter) Tri-City Animal Shelter 1950 Stevenson Blvd. Fremont, CA 94538
