Michael had a great, preeminent love for people.

His smile and bubbly personality was very infectious and could light up any room. Michael was always the life of the party and lived every day as if it were his last. Michael had many hobbies. Outside of being an amazing father to his children, he was a singer, dancer, actor, choreographer, song writer, musician, philanthropist, reputable pool league member, basketball player, passionate motorcycle bike rider, and an avid collector of memorabilia. He set the global standard for what it means to truly embrace who you are… unapologetically.
