Micheal Stephen Jenkins was born in Detroit, Michigan December 17, 1967 and his life was cut short March 17, 2025. Mike lived in Detroit, Clare and Midland most of his life where he was an accomplished mechanic at many local shops. He enjoyed drinking beer and sharing stories with those who he surrounded himself with. He lived on his own terms, loving beer, cigarettes, punk music, doc martens and classic cars. Mike truly believed that drinking and smoking made him who he was, those who knew him knew better. He had special bonds with many people including his friends Len and Trevor.
He is survived by his brother Chuck (Joanne) Jenkins, and sisters Sue and Peggy. Step daughters, Amanda Ballard, Nicole Sova, Jennifer (Joe) Morrand-Hamilton and Danielle (Reece) Reinhart. Grandchildren Julien, Tony, Allison, Mikayla, Peyton, Chloe and DJ.
He was predeceased by his loving wife Suzanne, grandson Dalton and parents June and Bug.
Cremation has taken place and a memorial will be held at a future date.

It was a pleasure getting to know you as a person (kind hearted, give the shirt off your back, with nothing but good intentions type of guy) and friend in the limited time we had knowing each other. You gave the most important person in my life genuine happiness with your kind soul and gentle demeanor and in turn made me happy and in turn made us instant friends. You´re a good man and a good person. And in my opinion you get what you put out in this world so I know you are now resting easy brotha!
