Mike loved rooting on the Brewers, Bucks and Packers. He loved a good movie, a funny comedian or anything on the "oldies station", often driving along to Bob Seager, Dion and the Belmonts or Jim Croce. But above all else, he really loved to gamble. Slot machines, video poker and bingo at Potawatomi were a few of his favorites. Mike was an avid card player and loved playing games of all kinds. He loved spending time with his children and his grandchildren. He proudly cheered them on through all their endeavors and truly treasured all their accomplishments.

Mike will always be remembered for his quick wit, sense of humor and his generous heart. He was always there when you needed something, be it a smile, a story, a lesson or his opinion, it was always delivered with love. He was a husband, father, grandfather, brother, uncle, cousin and friend to many. His memory will live on in the hearts of all who loved him.

A visitation will be held on Sunday December 21, 2025 at the Becker Ritter Funeral Home from 12 PM until 2:45 PM. Mike's Celebration of Life will be held at 3 PM. To honor Mike's memory please perform a kind act, put a smile on someone's face or put some money in a slot machine and see if you get lucky.
