About Michael
Michael was known for his larger than life personality, he had a unique ability to lighten the mood anywhere he went, no matter the situation. With his close friends and family he was known for having a huge heart and always wanting to help even if it meant a sacrifice on his part.
He was always a phone call away to help anyone with overcoming challenges or conquering uncertainties. His mind was sharp with ways to better communicate which helped him in business steer quite a few automotive sales and finance teams toward success.
For those that knew him, he will be missed as we navigate our journeys in his absence.
Michael's biggest passion in life was his children, they were truly his pride and joy. He would brag about them to anyone he met, especially all of his nurses in the last 7 years. Jonathan, Steven, Kalyee, and Kyler.
