He was an avid outdoorsman who loved fishing, hunting, and soaking up the sun with family and friends.

Michael was predeceased by his parents, his mother and father in-law George and Sandra Palmateer, son Scott Bushey, and granddaughter Maliyah.

I'm so sorry to hear about Mike. I knew him back in the '80s and if I'm not mistaken he was married to Barbara. I do remember his sons Michael Jr Shane and Scott. My thoughts and prayers are with his family at this time.
