Michael Jay Nies

After an extended illness, our beloved Brother, Uncle, and Friend passed away and headed to his eternal fishing expedition. Mike was a lifelong resident of West Seattle, and a lifelong outdoorsman. Mike was an auto mechanic for his entire life adult life, starting in high school at Tom's automotive in West Seattle and working there for over 30 years. Mike was also actively involved in the West Seattle Sportsman's club; the annual children's trout fishing was always a highlight for him. He could be seen sitting in a chair and baiting countless hooks for the entire day. He will be missed by everyone whose life he touched.
