Obituary

Michael (Mike) Puls was born in Tampa, Florida on May 10, 1952. He passed away on August 25, 2017 after a courageous and victorious 3 year battle with cancer.  His sudden passing came after spending a typical, happy day at home working, talking with friends & family & spending time with his son, Sean. Mike founded Foley & Puls, Inc, a  respected multi-family research firm. His vision and foresight contributed to the success of much of the apartment and condo development in the DFW area, including more than 325 projects in the Metroplex & another 300 projects across the US over the past 30 years.  He was happy and proud after being quoted in the Dallas Morning News earlier in the week and was looking forward to speaking at a multifamily conference. He leaves behind the legacy of his knowledge and contributions to the multifamily industry about which he was so passionate, a large & loving family and countless friends. He is survived by wife and life partner of 43 years, Misty, and son Sean, who put his life on hold to be his father’s constant companion for the past 2 years. His loving family includes: brothers John L. (Jack) Puls and wife Nell of Pompano Beach and Richard Puls of Atlanta. FL family: Regina, Pierre & Nicole Hernandez, Richard, Danielle, Ricky & Morgan Puls, Liz & Dewey Duchaine, Mary, Nick and Mila Jane Petrone. TN family: Suzette Greer Inman, Sarah & Anna Grace Inman, Lauren & Chad Gentry, Jennifer, Frank, Vance, Audrey, Davis & Bailey Ann Robinson. NY family: Daniel & Elise Poeana. A Celebration of Life is scheduled at Ferrari’s Villa in Addison, Saturday, September 16, 2017 from 2:00-4:00 P.M. A GoFundMe has been set-up for the benefit of Sean Puls, who gave so much and asked for so little.  We both lost our best friend. Arrangements are under the direction of ARIA Cremation Service and Funeral Home 19310 Preston Road Dallas, Texas 75252 214-306-6700

"If I could give 6 stars I would. Aria made a difficult easier to deal with by basically taking care of everything in an efficient but very empathetic manner. I can speak highly enough of Dusty Martin, who helped us with all of the planning and logistics. He was incredibly understanding and helpful."

"Nothing prepares you for the grief you go through when losing a child. I called this funeral home at 2:00 am broken and could barely talk. The amount of compassion and empathy they showed me immediately let me know I found the right place to cremate my son. I cannot thank them enough for their professionalism, SINCERE concern, and commitment to making sure my son was honored in the most respectful way. I hope this Funeral home values her as much as my family and I do."

"I can’t say enough about how helpful and professional Dusty Martin, the funeral director at the Aria Cremation location on NW Highway has been. From my initial call, he was kind and informative. My friend died at home while on hospice and she was picked up in about an hour after receiving the call from the hospice nurse. The person who arrived to pick her up was also very professional/respectful and allowed us to take as much time with her as we wished. When I met with Dusty the next day about arrangements, he explained the process and options available without being pushy or trying to “sell” extras. Throughout the process, he kept me informed and, for example, was careful to be certain I understood the cost of the obituary I wanted and offered some options for reducing that cost if I wished. When I stopped by for another reason and started talking about some of the problems I was having with the pictures and media I hoped to use at a memorial lunch I was planning, he not only listened patiently but offered technology advice and let me use his personal media player. I have had experience arranging cremations for four others using two other local companies, and this experience with Dusty at Aria has been by far the best one I have had."

"My Daddy’s service and our family experience at Aria Northwest Highway was truly blessed. Funeral Director Dustin Martin is the kind of person that you would like to see on a more regular basis – but in his industry – you hope to not see him that often. That being said – THANK YOU DUSTIN for your unending kindness, compassion and friendship through the process. Meeting you and discussing Dallas History, Find A Grave and my Dad’s lifelong contributions to the great City of Dallas was simply wonderful! In memory of my dad James A. Dodd, Sr. – I want to personally thank you and let you know that you made everything better in that moment. Your calling to “Be There” is spot on. Aria has a one in a million guy in you! Bling Blinky of TEXAS Shout Out: God Bless You!!"
