If you asked Michael’s family what made him the incredible father, grandfather, and friend that they knew him to be, they would tell you that it was the vast love and friendship he demonstrated on a daily basis to those around him. He didn't know a problem he wouldn't try to help you solve.
The family gives their sincerest thanks to the staff of both Austin Cancer Center and Beacon Hospice of Austin.
In lieu of flowers, the family asks that you make a donation in Michael’s name to St. Judes (https://www.stjude.org/give.html)
