Michael was an avid sports fan. He enjoyed watching or listening as his brother coached Castle High School basketball in Indiana. This inspired him to become a Special Olympics coach in shot put, bocce, and basketball. He was fond of all his athletes.

Gibson of St. Croix, IN; brother, Brian T. Gibson (wife, Alisha) of Newburgh, IN and nephew and nieces.
