He was a loving husband, a devoted father, and a proud grandfather who deeply loved his children and grandchildren, One of his greatest joys was taking his grandsons hunting and spending time with the people he loved most. Mike loved the simple things in life. He loved sitting and looking through magazines with Brooklynn, Gardening, farming and spending time outdoors. Hunting and fishing brought him happiness, but turkey hunting was always his favorite. After suffering a stroke, Mike’s determination never faded.
