Michael loved race car driving. His favorite driver was Dale Earnhardt, Jr. and liked watching the masked singer every Wednesday night on tv. He would call his sister every Wednesday to remind her it was coming on because you see, she liked masked singer also. Mike loved to eat at Arby’s. Mike was a friend to many who knew him. Mike did carpentry. If you needed anything fixed he could probably fix it for you. Mike’s hobby was building model cars. His collection consisted of about 30 cars he built, glued and painted. Mike is at peace now. No more worries and no more pain. He is united again with his wife Candy. Mike loved Candy and has truly missed her over the 14 years since her passing.
