Our beloved father Michael Platt passed away peacefully in his home on November 18, 2023 at the age of 74.

He was born in Martinez, California on February 25, 1949. His childhood in Martinez, California instilled a lifelong passion for baseball and, and he loved to talk about it, go to games whenever the opportunity presented itself, and ensured his children grew up listening to Kruk and Kuip's baseball radio. As he grew, he realized protecting and serving was his calling through many seasons starting with his honorable service as a United States Marine, from June 28, 1967 to April 27, 1970, of note is his dedication to duty through his deployment in the Vietnam War during the Battle of Khe San. Following his honorable service Michael served as a prosecuting attorney for twelve years in Stockton, Ca, eventually earning an appointment as a Superior Court judge of San Joaquin County. He left his judgeship in 2003 to establish his legal practice to help those who couldn't defend themselves. Michael and Annemarie first met and bonded over their mutual passion for protecting and serving in their professions and continued to share this throughout their long and happy marriage, passing this onto their children.

He leaves behind his children Jason Mehrer, Vincent Mehrer, Athena Willis, Benjamin Platt, Hannah Day, Zachary Platt, and Chelsea Platt. He was preceded in death by his siblings Karen and Jim Platt, and his parents Rosemarie and Benjamin Platt.

The funeral will be held at Ramsey Funeral Home, on November 24, 2023 at 10 AM. All friends and family are welcome.
