August 6th, 2002 - October 29th, 2022
On Saturday October 29th, 2022, Mikey Aslam, loving son, brother, and friend passed away at the age of 20.
Mikey was born in Los Alamos, NM on August 6th, 2002, to parents Tariq and Kimberly Aslam. He spent most of his life growing up in New Mexico. In 2009 Mikey and his family moved to South Bend, IN for a year, where Mikey got the opportunity to be close to relatives, fish in a backyard lake and ice skate during the winter. In the fall of 2014, he moved to Santa Barbara, CA for a semester where he would spend a bit of everyday at the beach. Mikey graduated from Los Alamos High School in 2020 and then moved to Bozeman, MT to attend Montana State University to pursue a degree in mechanical engineering.
Mikey was an avid outdoorsman, always seeking the next exploration. As an eagle scout Mikey spend most of his middle and high school years earning merit badges and adventuring with his friends. He spent many weekends on long backpacking trips, hiking 14ers in Colorado, and partaking in other scouting High Adventure trips.
Faith was an important part in Mikey’s life. He attended several retreats and was active in the youth groups of Immaculate Heart of Mary Catholic Church. Mikey was confirmed as a practicing catholic in the spring of 2019.
He fell in love with skiing at the age of 15. In the winter you could always find Mikey on a mountain, spending every waking moment on the slopes. In early 2022, Mikey spent time working at Big Sky ski resort in Montana where he enjoyed skiing everyday.
Mikey’s charismatic nature filled everyone’s hearts with so much joy. He was known for his humor, an infectious smile and compassionate spirit who really knew how to life everyday to the fullest. Mikey made the world a brighter place.
Mikey was preceded in death by his grandparents Harry and Nancy Stimson. He is survived by his mother, Kimberly, father, Tariq, his three siblings, Jimmy, Holly, and Hannah along with his grandparents Muhammad and Carol Aslam, and several aunts, uncles, and numerous cousins.
A memorial Mass for Michael will take place on Tuesday, November 8th, 2022 at 11:30 am, followed by a reception at 12:30 pm in the Parish Hall at Immaculate Heart of Mary Church in Los Alamos, NM.

I will never stop thinking about and remembering Mikey. His smile. His laugh. He was the very first person to get me out of my shell in college, to make me feel comfortable. He had a talent of making people feel safe with just his presence. He cared about every single person around him. I remember the many nights in the dorms where we would stay up until 3 a.m. just talking about our lives. I felt as if I knew his sisters, his brother, and his amazing parents before I even met them. I was so fortunate to have those nights to really get to know who Mikey was and who he wanted to be. Mikey had such a special soul and it will forever break my heart that I never told him how truly amazing he was. I am so beyond lucky to have met him. He shaped who I am today and will continue to shape the person I become.

I remember Mikey and Ash playing together in preschool. He was a kind and thoughtful friend. Later, at a Scout camp out with Sam he demonstrated the same kind character. I am so sorry for your loss.

I met mikey in middle school at lunch time, he invited me over without knowing who I was and had a great time hanging out with him in middle school. He always had a friendly welcoming personality. He will be missed a lot.

I remember hiking with Tariq around Bandelier, while he carried little napping Mikey in his arms. I've tried to be a dad like that. I'm so grateful to the Aslam family and deeply saddened by their loss. Prayers and love for them.
