Mike has always been the type of person who wasn’t afraid to try anything, at least once. He was a man of many talents working several different over his life, he was a jack-of-all trades. His family and friends knew him to be a deeply loyal person, in addition to loyal his family also lovingly describes Mike as quite sarcastic and a bit of a smart-ass, not to mention stubborn on occasion more so an incredible grandfather that would always pull for the Crimson Tide, couldn’t watch enough movies, loved floatin’ and fishin’ on the river. Not to forget he loved his cat Blue. Mike is loved and will be deeply missed.
