I am still in disbelief. My heart grieves with Matt and Alex. Mike and I spent many, many hours talking about his boys and their families. He so looked forward to retiring and spending more time with them.

Matt and Alex, I want you to know how much your dad loved you. He cherished every moment of the time you spent together. We often discussed how he might design his apartment to accommodate you and your families on every occasion. He had no greater joy than seeing you grow into strong, capable men.

May God bring you peace and comfort as you grieve his loss.

Mike was always faithful to support his friends in a myriad of ways.

Mike had such a beautiful impact on the Minneapolis music scene. He’d always be so cheerful and kind to everyone and eager to support new artists. You could always count on him to be there at all kinds of coffee shops and small music venues camera in hand ready to have a great night and make new friends. So grateful to have been your friend Mike!
I worked at Maquoketa State Bank drive-thru back in the early 80's.  Mike would go to the different car dealers around town and take cars for test drives.  He would bring them through the bank drive-thru so I could see them.  He had a blast doing that!  I was always worried that the dealers would figure out what he was doing but they didn't.   Mike loved cars.
So many memories!!  Where to begin?? From me being the flower girl in his wedding, to him playing the piano for mine.  Traveling to Minneapolis for a Vikings game and somehow fitting 4 air mattresses across the living room floor in his tiny, 1 bedroom, apartment for me, Alex, Matt, and Tim(Dale🤣) to sleep on.  Stopping in to say a "quick" hi when he was in Iowa this last year, for it to turn into hours and hours of talking.  The Iowa Hawkeyes birthday cake that the frosting turned everyone's teeth black. You will be so missed ❤️

I orginally signed up to run Grandma's Half Marathon in 2022, however I soon found out I would be 8 months pregnant. Instead I made it a mission to run the half marathon in 2023. Mike drove up to Duluth to support my running journey and cheered me along the way. He came to many of my high school basketball games and continued to support the crazy sports both Matt and I did. I am going to miss my fan at our races.

another photo with the photo booth and my silly fun loving friend Mike with me and my now wife. A few years after this Mike played piano beautifully for our wedding ceremony!
