Obituary of Michael Graham Bloom

Michael Graham Bloom, 30, passed away on Wednesday, April 12, 2023. He grew up in Falmouth Maine. Michael attended the Falmouth schools and the Phillips Academy. He then attended Lafayette College, where he played Division 1 soccer and met the love of his life, Madeleine. Together they graduated in 2016 and married in 2021. Michael worked in Manhattan in Investment Banking at RBC, having previously worked in Corporate Banking at Citi. Michael enjoyed fly fishing, wakeboarding, frisbee-throwing, hiking, diving off high rocks, playing tennis, bicycle riding, watching the Premier League and Formula 1, playing in his bowling and soccer leagues, whitewater kayaking, and snowboarding. He could skip a rock impressively far, make a mean ragu, build a beautiful campfire, and ignite infectious laughter. He was known for being incredibly thoughtful, generous, patient, and loyal. Michael would be the first to lend a hand, was an adoring uncle, and was a spark of joy amongst his many friends. Michael's fun-spirited personality and smile so genuine you could see it in his eyes will be remembered fondly by all. Michael is survived by his wife, Madeleine Bloom; parents, Barri and George Bloom; brother, Josh Bloom; maternal grandmother, Corinne Futterman, mother and father in law, Eileen and William Hart, brother and sisters in-law, Catalina Bloom, Julia and Josh Zilke, Caroline Hart and Molly Hart. He especially loved his nieces Minerva, Natalie, Evelyn, and Claire, and nephew Martin. Michael also loved his large extended Bloom and Hart family members - too many to mention.

In lieu of sending flowers, please consider helping give underprivileged children the opportunity to play Michael's favorite sport. It made Michael happy to send soccer equipment to children in Haiti every Christmas, so we hope to keep his legacy alive by continuing to support underprivileged youth soccer in his name.
