Mike was born January 5th, 1949 in Saint Joseph, MO. He graduated from Christian Brothers, then was drafted to serve our country shortly after, where he and Lisa had the opportunity to live in Germany.
When they returned home Mike worked for Quaker Oats for many years until they closed. He continued his career at Mead, and then finished his last years of employment working for the Saint Joseph School District.
In the time Mike’s wife Lisa fell ill, he stood by her side supporting her and being her primary care giver until her passing. Mike always ensured his family was well taken care of and was very supportive of their success.
Mike had a special love for his family and friends. He loved attending as many events as possible to support his children and grandchildren.
He was an avid sports fan, and particularly loved watching Mizzou and Chiefs Football, Royals Baseball, and hockey. He loved fishing, traveling with family, and listening to music from the 50s. He will be greatly missed by all who knew and loved him.
