He was born July 30, 1960, in Bay City, Michigan, was a wonderful, upbeat, and passionate man. He is the beloved son of the late Cyril and Ann (Burnell) McMann.
Michael graduated from T.L. Handy High School in 1979, attended Delta College, and earned his bachelor's degree in business from the Detroit School of Business. He has worked at Stanley Alarm Company, Brookdale Assisted Living, New Hope Bay, and has been the house manager at Brian's House Community Group since 2018.

Known for his mechanical skills and expertise in alarm systems, Michael's uplifting personality and elaborate stories have endeared him to many.

Michael married the love of his life, Tammy M. Bouckaert, on December 31, 2000, and she survives him.
