Michael (Mike) Sarnie passed away unexpectedly, leaving behind a legacy of love, generosity, and unwavering dedication to his family. A devoted husband, father, brother, uncle, and friend, Mike’s greatest joy in life was the people he loved. He was always ready with a helping hand, a warm hug, or simply his presence when it was needed most.
Mike had a natural gift for storytelling and could strike up a conversation with anyone, always ready to share a cherished memory, offer words of wisdom, or reminisce about his favorite collector shows. His passion for collecting, especially Batman and other superhero memorabilia, was something he loved to share with those around him. A true craftsman at heart, Mike took great pride in his ability to build or fix anything, using his skills to help others whenever he could. Whether through his stories, his collections, or his craftsmanship, he found joy in connecting with people.
Mike’s sudden passing leaves an immeasurable void, but his spirit will live on in the hearts of his family and friends. He is survived by his beloved wife of 35 years, Reena (Sobelman) Sarnie, and their daughter, Marissa. He is also survived by his siblings, nieces and nephews, Marc and Karen Sobelman, Nanci Cavarretta and her daughter, Marla Quinn, her husband Patrick and their children Lincoln, Rowan and Brooklyn, Remi and Gary Kuphal and their children Madison and Jason, the late Paul Sarnie, Richard Sarnie, Julie and Isaac Reed and their children Alijah and Aliyah.
Mike’s love and generosity will be deeply missed.
Mike’s funeral service will be held at 1:30PM, Friday, February 21,2025, at Schlossberg Family’s Chapel on the Hill, 824 Washington Street in Canton, with the interment to follow at Sharon Memorial Park.
Shiva will be held at the home of Remi & Gary Kuphal of Franklin immediately following the burial.
In lieu of flowers remembrances may be made in Mike’s memory to Dana Farber Cancer Institute, PO Box 849168, Boston, MA 02284 www.Dana-Farber.org.

February 20, 2025 at 12:54 amI still can’t believe it. I can’t believe my Uncle died. It makes me sick to my stomach. He would always remind me how beautiful I was, he would tell me and my brother stories with the random information he knew, and he talked A LOT. I wish I could go back in time to listen to his stories, back in time to listen to his voice talking about anything that was on his mind. His love for Batman will always be the one thing that will stick with me most. His Batman phone case, his Batman wallpaper, his bat mobiles, his Batman figures, his Batman comics, his Batman collection as a whole. He was an amazing person who spreaded so much joy and love to me, my family, and all of the people he loved most. He loved his job. I remember how he told me and my brother about how he would get 5 star reviews for his delivery’s. I hope he’s up there in heaven, getting his 5 star reviews. I honestly cannot believe this loss. How can it go from seeing him on Friday to hearing about his death on Monday? It’s all so confusing to me and im sure it’s confusing to everyone else too. I’m gonna miss my uncle. I’m gonna miss him so much. So freaking much.

February 20, 2025 at 12:57 amI’m shocked and extremely saddened by Mikes passing. My wife and I only got to spend a few days together at some toy shows and cons over the last few years and met Mike through a mutual friend. I truly enjoyed sharing stories and was surprised how knowledgeable he was about characters at shows. What a nice guy and super friendly. Never met any of Mikes family but we grieve with you and needed to send our condolences. You were all blessed to have such a wonderful man in your family. Condolences also to any of his friends too. I would have liked to of had more opportunities to spend time with Mike for not many people are as genuine.

February 20, 2025 at 12:19 pmI’m am so sadden to hear about Mike. I miss walking into work and seeing him waiting for me with his coffee in his hand.It’s been about 2 years since we worked together but he would still call me and see how my family and I were doing. We would talk for awhile and he would talk about happy he was.Mike was one of a kind.
