Parents Charles and Virginia precede him. Sisters Julie Swanbeck (Don) and Laura Beth Gise (Doug) and brothers Richard (Barbara) and Charles (Janis Ruth) survive him.
Gardening and BBQing were his passions. Mike shared his BBQ with neighbors and friends. He was a good neighbor to many, willing to mow, irrigate, or shop for neighbors, help with projects and visit with the homebound. He worked in the construction industries as a carpenter and welder. He prided himself on his building skills and like our dad taught himself plumbing, electrical, automotive, and welding skills.
