There were many times you could find Mike watching his favorite tv show Gunsmoke. He loved the character of Matt Dillon.
Mike liked to cook and could be found on many Sunday mornings cooking a breakfast for his family that was fit for a king.
Mike was a family man and enjoyed times he spent with his son's Jeffrey and Jake. Mike and Jeffrey went on trips riding the family 4 wheeler and going to the Hunting camp and hanging out together. Mike also loved to watch his son Jake play football and could be found on many Saturday afternoons cheering Jake and his team on. He was very proud of his son's.
Mike was a strong person who believed in working hard. Mike was someone you could always depend on and was very loyal. Mike was the kind of person you would be proud to have in your corner or by your side.
We love you Mike and you will forever be in our hearts.
