Michael was a devoted son and nephew to his parents and Aunt Clemmie. He met Annie later on and they took their time before finally getting married. Michael's world went sideways in 2016 in the aftermath of Hurricane Matthew. He was sick for almost nine years. One of his Doctors called Michael the healthiest sick person he had seen. His biggest complaint was when he had to quit riding his bike on the Hulk. In 2018 Michael and Annie moved to NC so he could receive further medical care. He remained a trooper. He always had great love for his family and friends.
