MICHAEL was an amazing man and my hero.
He was the most honorable and honest person I have ever known. His Marine career led him to being an expert and accomplished sharp shooter and paratrooper, with (98) jumps.
He was always a great and gifted leader, supporter, encourager and teacher to many.
He had an unlimited wealth of knowledge and and continued learning everyday. He loved to travel , adventure and explore God’s nature and wonder with his beloved Shirley since 1973.
I remember a very special trip in 1976. 2 weeks, coming of age from Tampa to Salt Lake City. CB’s, trains, vistas, sunsets, panning for gold, majesty and endless adventures, smiles and laughs.
Mike appreciated and respected performance and speed. As an accomplished pilot and a professionally trained and defensive driver.
He inspired my need for speed. And others.too.
(Bruce) He loved his GTO, Cutlass and Shirley’s greatest gift to him, his always revered and
Always dreamed of.. Da Cobra!!
What an awesome,eventful and amazing life. He made us all smile and we will always reflect on our precious times with Mike.
Grilling out, watching TV at home under the Christmas lights (year round) He loved and was a faithful and humble servant to his Lord and Savior.
Whether training or Running the Gasparilla,
Hunting in below zero conditions. Driving across Death Valley ,Diving , boating or fishing.
Hot tubs in winter in vail under a full moon with a Coors. Mike lived life with gusto.
Through his Service, calling and Dedication to The Lodge and his Vocation, Mike worked hard , countless hours and went to the top. He always had class. I’m so proud of and grateful for my brother Mike.
I love you and will always miss you.
