Prior to his retirement Mike was A State Investigator for the Michigan Department of Corrections. He was of the four founding members of the Grey Dragons Association of Michigan.
Mike met his wife Julie at Camp Echo Grove in Lakeville. His unforgettable pick-up line was when he sent her 13 long stem roses; 12 red and 1 yellow with a card that read: Church and dinner Sunday night? Yes, no, or drop dead? She said, “Yes.” They were married on February 27, 1988 at the Lake Orion United Methodist Church.

Mike was a true warrior. He was a proud veteran who fought for our Freedom. He loved his family and his friends fiercely. He was a Child of God, loving husband and father, brother, Papaw and a dedicated friend. There was nothing he wouldn’t do for those he loved.
He had a great passion for motorcycles and enjoyed the rides he took with his biker friends. Most recently he enjoyed a trip to Sturgis, South Dakota with his good friend Jim. His strength was apparent as he battled cancer for the last 5 years. He did not lose the fight, but instead gained the Crown of Life that has been waiting for him.
