Michael was a principal at Horizon Properties for 24 years. He was gifted and talented and his creativity shined through in any project he worked on. He was a jack of all trades, loved to fish, listen to his records and a man of God, who was anchored firmly in his faith in both personal and business life. His wisdom and sound advice was sought after by family, friends, and colleagues. He had a magnetic personality and loved to spend time with his family and grandchildren. He spent many years providing his time and expertise to the building team at the Bible Chapel.
Michael will be dearly missed by all who knew and loved him.

Swisher/Conaway/Reid Families, Reed & I were remembering when we came to visit the Conaway´s and got to meet Lori and Swish and spent a wonderful weekend together. We shared meals, a baseball game & church at the Bible Chapel. Swish was a wonderful host as he grilled for us all. We shared in some laughs and Reed & Swish hit it off with their love of wine, music and movies. We are blessed to have met and spent time with Swish and the family, and know he was a wonderful soul. We will never forget that weekend and never forget Swish and his awesome personality. Our condolences to Lori, the Swisher Family, the Conaway Family, & Reid Family. With our thoughts & prayers, Reed & Kym Hellmann
