Mike was proud to be a master griller and enjoyed preparing food for his family and friends no matter what the weather was doing.

Mike was a devoted member of the First English Lutheran Church in Mansfield, Ohio.

Mike fought a courageous battle with cancer but he always put his family and friends first no matter what he was going through. Through the worst of his illness, he wanted to make sure that his family was taken care of. Even in his last moments he was giving family instructions on what needed taken care of. He was not only a big influence to his family, but also his friends and would have done anything for anyone who needed him.
