He was preceded in death by his grandpa Don Yohe brother Baby R., brother Jacob Bowersock, nephew Ryland Volpatti and niece Nova Volpatti.
Michael had always wanted to be a hero, and he finally got that title as he was able to be an organ donor and save TWO lives!
Michael graduated from Williamsville High School. He was a volunteer storm spotter for Skywarn. He had a huge love for the Chicago Bears. He enjoyed movies, music, birdwatching, sharks, sports stats, riding his bike, traveling to Florida and seeing the ocean. He loved helping his momma make bath and body products and loved crafting with his grandma.
A memorial service will be held on Friday, July 11. 2025 at 2:00 PM at Hurley Funeral Home in Mason City. Visitation will be an hour prior, from 1:00 PM until the time of service. The family requests all who attend to please wear Chicago Bears or fishing attire. Memorial contributions may be made to the American Heart Association.
