Mike was a best friend to some and the one you always called when you needed someone in your corner. No matter what, he always had your back. His wisdom, kindness, and strength will be missed most of all. Let’s not forget his stubbornness, it was at times what he was known for. Sometimes that just meant there was one-way things were gonna be handled, Mike’s way. He loved his family and loved them hard with all he had. The memories and the love he gave will keep us pushing forward.

Mike enjoyed spending time with his kids and grandkids. he had a love for entertainment, planning trips, going to drag races, and anything Harley Davidson related.
