Mike’s hobbies included astronomy, racing, motocross, aviation (he loved studying aviation history and could identify almost every model at first glance). He worked in construction and enjoyed specialty projects. He was a great friend and enjoyed many life-long friendships. He was quiet, kind, loved animals and was always eager to help anyone with projects of remodeling or specialty work in the home. Mike had a wonderful sense of humor and his blue eyes would sparkle any time he was around friends, family and loved ones.
Mike will be forever remembered as a person who was always a friend first and would give you the shirt off his back. He will be missed by his family and friends until they meet again.
