Like his mom, Big Mike, was truly a "people person," blessed with the gifts of love and laughter. He consistently went above and beyond the call of duty for all of his friends, family, and even casual acquaintances. He was always there in times of need and to help. To him, everyone was family! He befriended each person he met; no one was a stranger to, Big Mike.  He had a big heart, sweet spirit, and touched many lives with kindness and love!

In 1984, Michael married Diane Wallace and to this union, two children were born, Michael Jr, and Jordan.

He departed this life on Tuesday, February 16, 2021 at 2:13pm at Advent Hospital.
