Mike had a big heart and truly enjoyed helping others. He loved listening to live music, watching sports, and making friends wherever he went. He found joy in the little things in life. Above all, he loved being a husband, father, son and brother. His legacy lives on in the stories we tell, the laughter we share, and the love we carry forward.
