A native of Port Lavaca, Mike was born March 11, 1961 to Calvin Lee Roy Shefcik and Catherine Charlene Newlin Shefcik. His belief in life was simple and lived with a strong code, "What's Right is Right and What's Wrong is Wrong, it doesn't make a difference who you are!" On July 4, 1979 Mike married Mary Alice Morales, together they had two children Traci Michelle and Michael Lee Roy.
After owning his own body shop, "Mike's Paint and Body" he then took over his father's business known as "Mike's Auto Sales" in Port Lavaca. Upon retirement in 2008 he moved to Refugio, Texas. BANDIDO Big Mike was the President of the Corpus Christi Centro Chapter (The C 4). He served and rode with pride alongside with his brothers for 21 years. BANDIDO Big Mike had just recently sewn on his 20 year patch. Besides the open roads he loved his 4 legged friends, Nickle and Scooter, he also loved being outdoors hunting, fishing, snow skiing, and camping. His journey's took him all over the nation and everywhere he went, he never met a stranger. Mike's presence will deeply be missed and his legacy will forever live on.
