Mikey
He was born 9/25/1955.
Mikey moved into the Dequindre Group Home in 1988. He loved his Detroit Sports Teams: Lions, Tigers and Red Wings. He loved watching soccer and was looking forward to this years summer Olympics. Mikey couldn't wait to celebrate the holidays and having holiday parties. Christmas was his favorite holiday and would ask us to decorate right after Halloween. He always looked forward to our annual Frankenmuth trip. Halloween was his second favorite holiday and our skeletons are out year round because he wouldn't let us put them away. Mikey was a midnight person and looked forward to his coffee and cinnamon roll with the staff; watching his favorite shows Cops and the Three Stooges. We start every morning listening to music and his favorite tunes were Alabama and the Beatles. He enjoyed his classic cars and had several replicas displayed in his Man Cave, which was his favorite hangout. Mikey will be missed dearly and Dequindre will never be the same. Until we meet again......We love you Mikey and "GO LIONS"!!
