Mick attended school in Bay City until he went to work full time with his father as a carpenter, a job he had been doing since he was a young boy. He was certainly a master of his trade and shared his talent with several companies over the years. Mick was a master trim carpenter, with his favorite type of wood being oak, he would custom design and build kitchens, entertainment centers and nearly anything. For many years, Mick enjoyed being active and staying physically fit through weight training and lifting. Mick enjoyed camping, RV travel, as well as riding and working on dirt bikes and ATVS with his family. He always had a curious nature and enjoyed learning about physics and electrical engineering. This led to his passion for building and restoring elaborate speaker systems. Mick had a love for animals and had several cats, dogs, and birds throughout his life. More than anything, he was a proud father and grandfather. Mick Briggs and Lisa Drummond Briggs remained good friends and shared special occasions with their children and grandchildren. His greatest joy came from sharing his hobbies, special occasions and conversations with his sons Kameron, Klaeton, and Michael ll and family. Mick treasured being in the lives of his three sons, especially his son Klaeton whom he helped care for.
