What is the tragedy that befell Michael Allio?
As we mentioned, Allio is a single father to a son.
But the reason he’s a single father is because he’s also a widower.
His wife, Laura — who is the mother of his son — died of breast cancer in 2019. She was only 33 years old.
In her honor, Allio founded what was one of the biggest successes of his professional career.
