Michael, (known by his friends as Mike, but always Michael to his family) was loved by many. He was most proud of his beautiful and handsome children, Ehlana, Talen, and their sister Amarah. He loved his family. Michael was a very kind individual who loved to make people laugh, if someone was angry or sad, he would try to get them to smile or laugh. He worked at several different occupations during his short life, but restaurant service was what suited him best. He was always able to connect with customers and enjoyed improving their dining experience. He loved going up the canyons and having a campfire to roast hotdogs and smores. He also loved fishing and camping. Michael was an avid reader, who loved fantasy, science fiction, and some mystery. Some of his favorite authors were J.R.R. Tolkien, Clive Custler and Terry Brooks. He was also a huge Star Wars fan. Michael is loved by his children, siblings, parents and extended family and will be sorely missed until we meet again.
