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.
