He graduated from West Virginia University in 1981 with a degree in mining engineering. He worked for a multitude of different companies doing what he loved.
Michael was a very hard worker no matter what he was involved in, in and outside of work itself. He was an active member of any church he was a member of, and the communities where he lived. He enjoyed a longstanding season ticket ownership with the Pittsburgh Steelers and absolutely loved all things hockey and baseball.
Michael T. Shook was a truly amazing gentleman whose legacy will be remembered for generations and generations to come.

Mike was a great friend of mine and a fellow mining engineer. We enjoyed many WVU classes together and served on the WVU Mining Visiting Committee. He will be missed.
