With heavy hearts, we announce the passing of Mike Almanza on April 27, 2025.  After a time of health issues, he left this Earth to be at peace.

Mike leaves behind his wife Rachel Duran Almanza. He is predeceased by his first wife, Lola, who passed in 2011, and the mother of his seven children. His children are Michelle, Mikey Jr, Nick, Nichole, Desiree, Delila, and Daniel.  He has many grandchildren and great-grandchildren who loved spending time with their "Pop".

Mike was an avid supporter of the lowriding community, especially of his brothers in Low Conspiracy Car Club.

Everyone who met Mike had good conversation, whether it was about hydraulics, paint, or chrome. His love for the culture gave him many opportunities to help others. There are endless stories of how he helped in any way he could. He supported his fellow lowriders and he received countless first place trophies and plaques from the hundreds of car shows he entered.

Mike will be laid to rest on Saturday May 24th at 10am, Los Banos Cemetery. Following the service there will be a memorial cruise through Los Banos, ending at Pacheco Park where there will be food and a celebration of his life. Potluck is encouraged.  All are welcome. Bring your ride if possible, to show out for Mike on Saturday May 24th.
