Michael Briner Obituary
Mike attended Hillsdale High School and worked at Wal-Mart in Jonesville. He loved car and boat racing, old western movies, motorcycles, muscle cars and had a great sense of humor. He was very opinionated, but lived a simple life. Mike was an avid follower of The Beatles, and lived his life according to a quote from one of their songs, "I get by with a little help from my friends". Mike served his country in the US Army.
Survivors include a sister, Jean (Jerald) Briner Jowers of Florida; step-mother, Doris Briner; step-siblings, Jamie Hyde, Ray Briner and Chester Briner; and special friends, Denise Horn and Julie Shaffer.
Mike was preceded in death by his parents.
