Family was the heart of Mike's world. he cherished camping trips, holiday gatherings, and any moment spent close to the people he loved. His passion for barbecuing was legendary - he took pride in every meal he prepared and often said, " I love cooking and it makes me so happy when people like what I make." His food brought people together, but it was his warmth, humor, and generous spirit that made those moments unforgettable.

Mike had a deep love for country music and was known as the best dancer in any room. His energy was contagious; he had a rare gift for making others laugh, smile, and feel at ease. To know him was to feel welcomed, uplifted, and seen.

He took pride in his craft, sharing his knowledge of cuts, cooking techniques, and food safety with anyone who asked. He believed in hard work, honesty, and the value of a man's word - principles he lived by every day.

Hunting and fishing were among Mike's greatest passions. A talented archer, he hunted deer, pig, and elk, and found peace in the quiet beauty of the Arizona mountains and deserts. Nature was his sanctuary.

Mike also held a deep appreciation for the Bible and carried his faith with him throughout his life. Though his presence will be profoundly missed, his spirit remains with those he loved. His light, laughter, and love will continue to guide and comfort his family and friends. He will forever be in our hearts.
