We are deeply saddened by the passing of Mike. I graduated high school and played football with Mike at Otsego. He was a good person and teammate. Always nice, a little quiet but he was a good athlete. May God bless his family at this difficult time.

Gail,Jenna and Kyle,
Mike would want you to remember all the good times and experiences you all shared. He was always good for a conversation over a cup of coffee when the family got together. Wish we could still talk, but one day we will all be together again. Hope the coffee is hot and good.
