Michael was a member of St. Peter's Catholic Church in Stanberry.

Michael was fiercely loved by his family and friends. He was a beloved father, son, and brother.

Michael was consistently on the move. He held several jobs and had many careers. He was adventurous by trade. He enjoyed the outdoors. He found great joy in fishing, hiking, and attending sporting events. He loved baseball and played the sport with great success in his youth. In adulthood, he enjoyed attending Kansas City Royals games.

His true passion and greatest accomplishment in life was his son Clyde. He was an exceptional father and was proud of his son. He enjoyed taking Clyde to the park, out for queso, to the zoo, fishing, on walks, and many more adventures at grandma and grandpa's house. Michael's legacy will forever be his son.

There will be a rosary prayer said for Michael at 5:00pm on Thursday, May 9th followed by visitation from 5:30-6:30pm at St. Peters Catholic Church in Stanberry, Missouri. A memorial mass will be held on Friday, May 10th at 10:00 am at St. Peters Catholic Church for all who can attend.

Michael's body will be cremated, and his ashes laid to rest at burial services later in early June with immediate family at the Rouse Cemetery in Darlington, Missouri.
