Michael enjoyed, music, dancing, making people laugh, and his knife collection.

He loved working at The Clover and visiting with the customers that would come in.

"I know your life, on earth was troubled, and only you could know the pain. You weren't afraid to face the devil; you were no stranger to the rain." Those who knew Michael best knew that life wasn't always easy for him; please consider honoring his memory by telling the people around you that they are loved, and that their struggles don't define them.
