Mike was a hard-working man who made his way in the world as a welder, meeting each day with steady determination and pride in what he did. Just as memorable as his work ethic was the joy he carried with him—an unmistakable sense of humor and a larger-than-life presence that could lift a room in an instant. He had a gift for making people laugh wherever he went, often joking around, playfully picking on the people he loved most, and keeping everyone close to him smiling. Whether at the center of a gathering or simply sharing a moment with family and friends, Mike brought warmth, laughter, and a little mischief that will not be forgotten. He also loved traveling and truly enjoyed life, embracing the journey and the memories made along the way.
Mike is survived by his loving wife, Nancy; his children, Shana, Caleb, Sierra, Hondo, McKayla, and Aidan; his stepchildren, Delilah and Mike; and his beloved grandchildren, Thomas, Cassen, Cashton, Sereniti, Josiah, Luca, and Beau; along with his sisters, and numerous nieces and nephews.
Though his family wishes they could have had more time with him, they will forever cherish the laughter, memories, stories, and moments they shared. Michael’s jokes may no longer fill the room, but the laughter he brought into the lives of those around him will continue for generations.
Michael’s life was a reminder to laugh often, enjoy the journey, and make memories along the way. He will be deeply missed by his family, friends, and everyone fortunate enough to have known him. Gone from our sight, but never from our hearts—forever loved, forever missed, and never forgotten.
A Visitation will begin at 1pm on Saturday November 14th followed by a Funeral Service beginning at 2pm at Crawford Bowers Funeral Home in Copperas Cove.
