Passed away December 31, 2024, at the age of 54. Michael was born in Lansing, MI, November 26, 1970, the son of Michael D. and Lois (Wightman) Baird.

Michael enjoyed camping, fishing, talking to people all over the world on his ham radio, watching Bush Crafting videos on YouTube, building model airplanes, and being in the outdoors.
