Michael served on the Backus City Counsel for many years, as well as mayor of Backus and Cornfest Grand Marshall. He was a faithful member of the Sacred Heart Catholic Church.
Michael is survived by his wife, Betty (Bennor) Nethercutt of Backus; stepson Jeff (Cristina) Pels of Olathe, KS; sister Mary Ellen (Don) Johnson of New Brighton; grandson Liam Pels; and many nieces and nephews.
Michael is preceded in death by his father, Orsian Nethercutt; mother Angela McGinnis; stepfather Maxwell McGinnis; and sister Joan Kuledge.
Memorial services will be held at 11 a.m. Nov. 29 at Sacred Heart Catholic Church in Hackensack, with a visitation the hour prior. A luncheon will follow the service. Interment will be at the Lemon Cemetery in Akeley at a later date.
A special thank you to the Good Samaritan Hospice of Nisswa for their kind care.
