Mike was a retired motorcycle mechanic and drag racer who spent his whole life specializing in Harley Davidson motorcycles, a love of which he passed on to his children and grandchildren. During his motorcycle and racing career he built a 1947 Knucklehead and set a land speed record at the Bonneville Salt Flats, UT.

Mike cherished the time he spent with his family, siblings, nieces and nephews, and many cousins whenever they were together, and especially at the river where he could be found with a smile and a harmonica. His love for his children and grandchildren was fierce and will live through them eternally.
