A proud graduate of Sunny Hills High School in Fullerton, Mike made lifelong friendship and connections with a large group of friends who met monthly for lunch.
Mike was a devoted family man, having lost his wife Kandi of 37 years. Mike leaves behind his son Kris, 40, whom he devoted his life to. He is also survived by his sister Linda.
All who knew him knew of his love and passion for fishing, skiing, and surfing and spent countless hours by the water or the slopes. He loved Sun Valley where he enjoyed the beauty of the mountains with his girlfriend, Jyll.
Mike's warm spirit and love of life will be missed by all.
A celebration of his life will be in July.
In lieu of flowers, the family asks that donations be made at The Surfrider Foundation of San Diego
