Michael graduated from Fort Morgan High School and from received his propane certificate from Morgan Community College. He met Teena in Fort Morgan and they married in 1991. He was her “sweet bear”, and they were each other’s soul mates, laughing and loving through life together with their beloved kids and grandkids.

He was passionate about building engines and built his prized Chevy Nova part by part that he raced at Julesberg and Bandimere.

His greatest joys were spending time with his beloved family. He was not just a man with many amazing attributes, Michael filled the role of being the best father figure and the greatest papa anyone could ever ask for. His granddaughters will always cherish him in their hearts. Through his guidance he always told his granddaughters to never give up and always reach for the stars throughout life. They will forever look up to him as a role model. Following in his footsteps, his grandson Cal loved being by his side wearing his favorite Dale Earnhardt car shirt and working with his toolset, whether it was taking apart a generator or his big blue truck. Michael was the most hands-on dad with Tim and they did everything together; whether on a golf trip or rough house wrestling, he instilled a strong work ethic and sense of responsibility and was the ultimate role model.
