Mikey was born in Terre Haute, Indiana on July 28, 1985. He passed on July 1, 2013. Michael was originally from Terre Haute, but moved south a few years ago. He was living in Livingston, Texas with his fiance, Shawna, at the time of his passing. Michael was, above all else, a gamer. A lover of life, he tried to bring joy and happiness to those around him no matter what kind of mood he himself was in. Even though he was occasionally hindered by his health, Michael always tried to spend as much time outdoors as he could, playing hockey, hiking, fishing, and swimming. Michael was very fond of writing poetry and short stories. He is much loved and will always be remembered by all his friends and family. Rest in peace Michael, have fun playing that big game system in the sky.
