AUtah man accused of having killed his wife and five children was praised by friends in his obituary that failed to mention his horrific crimes, RadarOnline.com has learned.
Michael Orwin Haight, 42, allegedly killed his wife, Tausha, 40, and their five children, after she asked him for a divorce. The father allegedly turned the gun on himself after the horrific spree.
In addition to the death of his wife and children, Tausha's mother, Gail Earl, 78, was also a victim of the alleged murder-suicide.
While the massive loss of life was newsworthy in itself, it was Michael's bizarre obituary caught that garnered viral attention and backlash online.
From reading the obituary, which was posted on The Spectrum, one would not assume that Michael's family's lives were abruptly ended in such a gruesome manner.
The obituary listed Michael's children — Macie Lynn, Briley Ann, Ammon Michael, Sienna Belle, and Gavin Drew — sans the reason for their deaths. The obituary stated that "Each of these children was truly a cherished miracle to them."
The memorial posted continued to dote on the father's love for his family.
"Michael made it a point to spend quality time with each and every one of his children," the obituary added. "Michael enjoyed making memories with the family."
"He spent many evenings and Saturdays coaching the children’s city league sporting teams, attending the children’s concerts at school, going on side-by-side rides, doing home-improvement projects, sledding, and much more," the obituary continued.
The obituary did not elaborate on Tausha's life, other than to share how the late mother-of-five met her husband while in school at Southern Utah University.
The post did, however, take time to elaborate on Michael's many accomplishments, including awards he received as a business student and a successful career in insurance —

But, the article also claims he removed all the guns from the house before the murder-suicide.
I guess he did that.
Sounds like he wrote the Obit himself in advance of the murders.
The good that men do lives after them. The bad is oft interred with their bones.
did his MOM write the obit? this is crazy to praise the man.
Just like a government...
Did he “commit suicide because of the tragic loss of his children”? Sheesh.
I just don’t get the “we love you no matter what” thought process.
This POS will burn in hell for all eternity and telling the world that he loved making memories eith his children and he was the best father, brother, son, and uncle will never change that.
If he was Mormon, there’s a good chance the obit was written by the church.
I had several Mormon friends years ago — was even a bridesmade at my friend’s Mormon wedding. It seemed they puffed up the fathers / husbands winderfulness, at the expense of the rest of the family.
The mother of a January 6 victim who was driven to suicide by the persecution of the DOJ had his obituary edited by the local newspaper to remove what they referred to as “lies.”
Yet, a guy who slaughtered his entire family is given a glowing obit. Yep, sounds like our media.
I don’t come yo praise Michael Haight...
