Mike loved family and friends. As a

welder at Boeings Mike made many

friends. He lived his life to the

fullest and loved outdoor activities.

Camping was his best thing to do. My

best times was with Mike and his Dad

fishing. He did it his way. Rest well my friend, rest well again.

To Melody, Rhonda, Michelle and Mike Jr. Love and prayers.
