Michael had many hobbies. You could often find him working under the hood of his latest toy, riding motorcycles, or joking around with his buddies. He was always the first to lend a helping hand and was a friend you could count on. Most of all, he loved being a dad and spending time with his family.

He enjoyed summer weekends on the boat at Table Rock Lake, family visits in Nevada, dinners with his in-laws, and evening BBQs around the fire.

Michael is survived by his wife and children, his mother, his brother Travis and wife Cindy along with their children Kaylee and Zach. His brother T.J, and wife Darcie, their children Asher, Ember, Noah, and Adara. As well as many Aunts, Uncles & Cousins.

A young man gone too soon. He will be missed greatly by all who knew him.
