He is also survived by his brother, Brian (Debra) Hannan; his sister, Alice Christensen; niece, April (Jamey) Mellies; nephew, Kevin (Abby) Christensen; great-niece, Rylee (Samuel) Rookstool; and great-nephews, Mason and Brody Mellies. He also leaves behind many beloved aunts, uncles, and cousins.

Michael was preceded in death by his parents, Robert and Bonnie (McClenahan) Hannan; his brother-in-law, Kerry Christensen; and his stepdaughter, Jennifer Lynn Cox.

Michael will be laid to rest at Greenwood Cemetery in Clay Center, Kansas. Details of the service will be shared at a later date, and family and friends are warmly invited to attend.
