We just got word yesterday that our good friend and Classmate, Mike Nugent passed away this last Friday, June 13, 2025.
Michael Nugent BHS '64, was born on September 6, 1946. He passed away on June 13, 2025, in Plano, Texas. The Family said his passing was probably caused by a heart attack due to previous health problems.
Mike moved from Valencia to Plano, Texas to be near his daughter. He was an avid Sports Fan, a long-time referee of Girls Basketball and had also been a Baseball Umpire. Mike was a retired teacher and he was loved by all who knew him and he loved them all right back. He always had a smile, a hug and a kind word for everyone. Mike was one of the "GOOD GUYS" and will be forever missed by his Friends and Family which include his brother Bob Nugent who was in BHS Class 1967.
The Celebration of Life for Mike will be Sunday, August 10, 2025, from 2-6 PM at the Burbank VFW located at 1006 Magnolia Blvd., Burbank CA.

Rest In Peace, my friend. Your passion for sports, coaching, teaching, and life in general is a wonderful legacy. And, last but certainly not least, the genuine pride and love you had for your beautiful daughters, Vivian and Tami. 🙏

I believe he was Margie Nugent’s older brother. Sadly Margie passed away last year and now Bob.

'The Nuge'. Mike went to Redlands with several of us after graduating. He actually lived next door in North Hall our freshman and sophmore years. He was notorious for being able to sleep anywhere anytime. We thought he took a lot of naps to avoid studying. I think becoming a ref was the perfect avocation for him. I saw him last at our 50th college reunion, where it was great to reconnect. My condolences to his family and his many friends.

Mike and I played on the same little league baseball team and also in the street and in his driveway on Jolley Drive. His dad was our coach. I loved spending time at the Nugent's.
I'm so sorry to hear of his passing. He and Jack Harris and I were all neighbors, along with Rita Blankenship. My best wishes to his family. He was a good friend who I look forward to seeing again in the next life.
There is a next life, I know that from experiences too holy to mention. My sincere condolences. He's in a good place where he won't have to put baseball cards in his shoes to cover the holes in his shoes.♥️
