He attended Northeast High School. Michael was an avid fisherman. He was always on the water. He won many awards throughout his life. He had the magic charm with fish.

He also traveled to London and witnessed the aura lights and beautiful castles. He loved animals and enjoyed making things grow.
Michael always thought outside the box which is what made him unique. He was one of those people you met once in a life time. He was into helping others. Michael would help serve the homeless on Sundays at the park. Everyone loved him. He was a friend to many. His smile was contagious. He lit up the room anytime he walked in.
