Mike was born September 19, 1982 in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida. After high school, he studied mechanics. He was an avid Harley Davidson enthusiast and had obtained his certification in Harley Davidson mechanics. Music was a huge part of him; he played guitar, sang and wrote songs. He played guitar in the band at church as well. He cherished time with his family and was a phenomenal cook. Mike was outgoing, enjoyed helping people and had a great sense of humor. His reply to most anything was a shake of his head and a “this is not how this works…” A favorite quote of his found on his Facebook page is the Boondock Saints Prayer: “And shepherds we shall be for Thee, my Lord, for Thee. Power hath descended forth from Thy hand Our feet may swiftly carry out thy commands. So we shall flow a river forth to Thee and teeming with souls shall it ever be. “
