A self-made Cuban-American success story, Carricarte was a community leader, a decorated Vietnam veteran, a star high school and college athlete, an Iron Arrow recipient, a mentor. He was a man of faith who helped raise his seven children to share their talents and to support others using the blueprint he designed.<\/p>\n<p><!-- --><!--]--><!--[--><\/p>\n<p>Michael Anthony Carricarte, born June 20, 1942, in Havana, Cuba, and a Miami man since 1948, didn\u2019t brag. He just did things.<\/p>\n<p><!--]--><!--[--><\/p>\n<p>He built his fortunes in the international healthcare and insurance industry. In 1986, he founded and served as CEO of Amedex and USA Medical Services to provide medical insurance throughout Latin America and the Caribbean. He also ran real estate, private lending and investment businesses.<\/p>\n<p><!-- --><!--]--><!--[--><\/p>\n<p>\u201cMike lived life to the fullest,\u201d said former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush in an email to the Miami Herald. \u201cHe participated in our trade missions with a joyful enthusiasm that was contagious. I am really sorry to learn of his passing.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><!--]--><!--[--><\/p>\n<p>Carricarte taught his children business and the art of giving back.<\/p>\n<p><!-- --><!--]--><!--[--><\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe believed every life had value and that success meant little unless it was used to lift others up,\u201d his family said in his obituary, written by his children after Carricarte\u2019s death June 15 at 83, five days shy of his 84th birthday.<\/p>\n<p><!-- --><!--]--><!--[--><\/p>\n<h2>His philanthropic life<\/h2>\n<p><!-- --><!--]--><!--[--><\/p>\n<p>Carricarte served on boards, including Camillus House, the Greater Miami Chamber of Commerce, U.S.\u2013Mexico Chamber of Commerce, Enterprise Florida, Christopher Columbus High School and the Baptist Health Foundation Founders Society.<\/p>\n<p><!--]--><!--[--><\/p>\n<p>He was the founding donor of the Jackson Memorial International Program, a member of the Golden Angels, and supported South Florida schools including Miami Dade College, Epiphany School, Our Lady of Lourdes Academy and Kendall Christian School. He paid tuition for students whose families lacked the resources. He never advertised these gifts. He donated to charitable organizations throughout Florida and Latin America.<\/p>\n<p><!-- --><!--]--><!--[--><\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe lost a giant last week. And I lost a dear, dear friend. So giving. So thoughtful. So genuine. There was no one I\u2019ve ever met who had a thirst for life like Mike,\u201d said Ben Mollere, corporate vice president for Baptist Health South Florida, Hospitality &amp; Business Relations.<\/p>\n<p><!-- --><!--]--><!--[--><\/p>\n<h2>Supporting Miami schools and the military<\/h2>\n<p><!-- --><!--]--><!--[--><!--]--><!--[--><\/p>\n<p>In 1995, Carricarte\u2019s son Mike Jr., then 27, president of an insurance services company and inspired by his father, \u201cadopted\u201d the students at Overtown\u2019s St. Francis Xavier School and helped lead construction on a new classroom building that could offer students a pre-kindergarten class and a sixth grade and more classrooms for seventh- and eighth-graders.<\/p>\n<p><!-- --><!--]--><!--[--><\/p>\n<p>The younger Carricarte, much like his father, deflected praise and shined credit on others. \u201cIf you spend an hour or two with those students, you see so much,\u201d Carricarte Jr. said at the time in a publisher\u2019s column the Miami Herald ran in July 1995. \u201cI get far more out of it than the students do. I leave that school sometimes and nothing \u2014 nothing \u2014 can touch me.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><!-- --><!--]--><!--[--><!--]--><!--[--><\/p>\n<p>Sounds like Dad.<\/p>\n<p><!-- --><!--]--><!--[--><\/p>\n<p>\u201cMike was the loving patriarch of a family that did so much to make this a better community. The saving of St. Francis Xavier School back in the \u201890s comes to mind. Mike Jr. was the guy whose story of saving St. Francis was told in the Herald, but he and his siblings would tell you the joyous soul behind so many good works was Dad,\u201d said David Lawrence Jr., retired Miami Herald publisher and chair of The Children\u2019s Movement of Florida.<\/p>\n<p><!-- --><!--]--><!--[--><!-- --><!--]--><!--[--><\/p>\n<p>In 2016, Carricarte Sr. dedicated Patriot Plaza at his alma mater, Christopher Columbus High School in Westchester. He wanted to honor the more than 400 alumni who had served in the armed forces like he had. Col. Carricarte served as a U.S. Army officer and Special Forces Green Beret and entered combat operations in Vietnam after graduating as an ROTC Distinguished Honor Graduate from the University of Miami in 1963.<\/p>\n<p><!--]--><!--[--><\/p>\n<p>He also wanted to honor his older brother, 2nd Lt. Louis Carricarte, an aviator who was one of the first casualties of the Vietnam conflict in December 1963, before the official deployment of U.S. combat troops in 1965.<\/p>\n<p><!-- --><!--]--><!--[--><!-- --><!--]--><!--[--><\/p>\n<h2>Bigger than life<\/h2>\n<p><!-- --><!--]--><!--[--><\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s so clich\u00e9-ish to say bigger than life. Mike Carricarte was frigging bigger than life. He wasn\u2019t big in stature but when he walked into a room, the papers would start rattling around, and the wind would blow, and he was just like a force of nature, and he was just an amazing guy who never wanted any credit for anything that he did,\u201d said one of his oldest friends, E. Carter Burrus. He first befriended Carricarte and his older brother Louis in the 1950s when the three were student-athletes at St. Theresa Catholic School, in Coral Gables.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/floridamovingchronicle.com\/?p=2195\">Catholic leaders urge DeSantis to halt record-setting Florida execution<\/a><\/p>\n<p><!--]--><!--[--><\/p>\n<p>In 1958, St. Theresa phased out its high school program to feed into four feeder schools the Miami diocese opened in Miami to serve a growing Catholic population: Christopher Columbus High School and Archbishop Curley High School for boys, and Immaculata Academy and Notre Dame Academy for girls, said Burrus.<\/p>\n<p><!-- --><!--]--><!--[--><\/p>\n<p>Michael \u2014 he preferred Mike \u2014 Carricarte was in Columbus\u2019 first graduating class of 40 students in 1959.

The family name and logo adorns the business classroom building.<\/p>\n<p><!-- --><!--]--><!--[--><\/p>\n<p>He\u2019d joke with his pal, Burrus: \u201cI was a C-student all the way through St. Teresa, and my one year at Columbus. And I could give a rat\u2019s ass about grades. I just want to see what\u2019s in your heart.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><!-- --><!--]--><!--[--><\/p>\n<p><b>READ MORE: Carricarte family establishes new business program at Columbus High<\/b><\/p>\n<p><!--]--><!--[--><\/p>\n<p>Burrus graduated from Columbus in 1962 and became the school\u2019s first alumnus faculty member in 1968. Burrus served numerous roles in two runs for a combined 43 years before retiring at the end of this school year in June. He recounts a typical Carricarte story.<\/p>\n<p><!-- --><!--]--><!--[--><\/p>\n<p>\u201cEvery Valentine\u2019s Day, all of a sudden 100 orchids would show up at Columbus and every single secretary would get an orchid.

His expanding family.<\/p>\n<p><!--]--><!--[--><\/p>\n<p>Carricarte treated them to heaping plates of chilled stone crabs, grilled Florida lobster, barbecue, grilled chicken, beer, wine and tons of desserts.
