Michael Philip McGonegal, of Burlington, Vermont, born Jan. 24, 1969, died on Oct. 1, 2016.

He is survived by his parents, Thomas and Patricia McGonegal of Acton, Massachusetts, and three brothers and sisters-in-law, Thomas and Alexa McGonegal, Kevin and Danielle McGonegal, and Joseph McGonegal and Emily Walsh, along with five loving nieces and nephews and many dear friends.

Those who loved Mike knew him for his sense of humor, his large circle of good friends in the Burlington late-night crowd, his love of live music, and his enjoyment of vacations at Ocean Point, Maine.

Mike attended elementary and middle school in Underhill, Vermont, Rice Memorial High School in South Burlington, and the University of Vermont. A great writer, great wit, and stickler for grammar, Mike entertained and instructed, and he took great pride in his New Yorker cartoon fame, his pranks on family and friends, and in being caricatured on the Church Street mural in Burlington.

A funeral will take place Saturday, Oct. 8 at 11 a.m. at St. Elizabeth of Hungary Parish in Acton, Massachusetts.
