Michael worked as a superintendent for the Dickinson County Road Commission.

Michael lived life to the fullest. Whether he was boating, traveling, or dancing, he simply found joy in living every moment.

Those who knew him best will remember him as being kind to everyone, always making jokes and laughing. His most memorable trait was his distinctive laugh and how contagious it was. An energy like his doesn’t die; it goes on to the next adventure.

Michael had an unyielding capacity for kindness and compassion. Those who were blessed enough to know him could be sure they had a man who would lead with love regardless of circumstances.

Integrity and honesty were the mottos by which Michael lived his life. In his career, he was a fair leader. In his personal life, he was a trusted man. Michael was a gentleman and a gentle man.
