Mike was married to his "lovie" in 1986. They were happily married for 36 years. Mike was a devoted husband, father, and pappy; he was a constant in his love and support, especially with his granddaughters, whom he was always saying he couldn't be prouder of. Mike enjoyed making his family and friends laugh and smile. His positivity, friendliness, and desire to put people at ease often extended to friends and strangers alike. Mike was also an avid hunter and angler. Depending on the season, you could often find him out hunting with his son or fishing with the whole family.
At Mike's request, there will be no funeral or memorial service. Instead, the family will hold a celebration of life at a later date.
