Michael "Mike" served his life reflecting upon life itself, serving the United States Marine Corps. during wartime in Viet Nam (1969-1971) and following active duty he transferred to the Reserves. While the war haunted the remainder of his life, he was a true patriot in honor of those fallen and his country to the end. He expressed himself in the arts, formally music and poetry.
He graduated from Richfield High School, Waco, Texas in 1967 with many accomplishments accredited to his name and dedication to music, student body, and learning. If you knew Mike then or later in life, you would also know how "punny" he was, too. He loved to make people smile and laugh. He attended different colleges, but discovered his quest was in nature and exploring different parts of the US, and the people.

Surviving are his mother, Joan Margaret Null; two siblings, Cindy Shivers, and Sanford "Sandy" Gregory; nephews Clifford "Chuck" Holle (Lezlee), Gene Holle (Mary), Robert Thomas Robins (Lindsey), Zachary Joseph Ramsey; nieces Jessica Gardiner, Lisa Gardiner; Lauren Elizabeth and Joan Claire Lightfoot, cousins, and friends.
