Passed to our Father in Heaven on 10-31-24

Hideaway Valley Our Brother, Uncle, Cousin, Husband, Father, & Grandfather

“We want pay him respect, however if we could ask him, he would only see it as wanting to show us respect”

“To be announced in the spring there will be a celebration of life & a burial”

Our Brother Mike was a “One of a Kind” if he called you family you knew that to your core, If he called you friend you knew it as well he held us all in a very deeply special place in his heart.

His 5 sisters & 2 brothers very Important to him, Tamara-Utah, Ronda-Oklahoma, Grace-Oklahoma, Mariann-Utah, Amy-Utah, Jeff-Utah & Cody-New Mexico

Mike suffered many trials & Injuries in his lifetime, some self-inflicted & severe accidents that nearly stopped him. Severe Arthritis & Diabetes, all that he fought with all of his strength. If you knew Mike you knew just how much strength he had. He was also protector of his precious wife Mikkell & family,

All through his life he always protected his sisters & brothers too.” He could be stern at times but he had such a tender heart. Mike had his issues (who doesn’t) but they never stopped him from being there for you if you needed him. He didn’t like to leave his wife home alone if she wasn’t with him he would say he needed to go, she depends on me & I love her very much.

Most of his life Mike was in pain from Injuries & arthritis ALL THE TIME, most times it was tremendous but it never stopped him from helping a friend in need or any of us, if he knew you needed him he was there no matter what.

“We will always be eternally grateful he is our brother”

I apologize for the time it has taken me to write this Remembrance & Tribute for him. Our hearts were shattered when he died and I just couldn’t put pen to paper at all. I asked the lord to help me find the words, which is extremely hard for me these days. Thoughts came flooding in as I lay in bed, I got up & jotted them down so I wouldn’t lose them.

Mike we will always Love you from the bottom of our heart
