Mike graduated from Highland High and on September 14, 1972, married the love of his life Cindy Lisonbee. Mike was heavily involved in the Mountain Men of the Wasatch (MMW) and Rocky Mountain Men (RMM). He enjoyed marching in the St. Patrick’s parade in his kilt so he could show off his legs.
Mike was preceded in death by his mother Audrey and brother Ralph. He is survived by his father Ralph and sister Sue (Gleave), his wife Cindy, daughters Ursula (Clarence), Brooke (Chuck), Mindy (Trevor), Ashley (Chris) his son Kit (Shannon), 16 grandkids, 4 great grandkids, and 4 granddogs.
Mike loved his jokes and loved telling them. Somehow he always had a new joke to tell that you hadn't heard, most of the time. But he was careful to pull you aside if it was a dirty one, which were his favorite to tell. Mike always put his children first and was adored by his grandkids. He was loved by his family and by far, his favorite thing to do was be with his family. Mike is going to be missed by his family profoundly.
