He was born on June 8, 1959 in Fremont, Ohio to parents Juan Rubio Botello and Beulah Inez Campbell (Maddox). Michael grew up in Fremont and was a proud graduate of Fremont Ross High School.

He worked his earlier days in construction and owned Botello Builders. He later retired his construction career and went on to become a successful health insurance broker. Together, Michael and Leslee co-owned Workforce Benefits.

A true family man, Michael always put his family first. Beyond family, Michael’s biggest passion in life was music. He was an avid guitar player and loved sharing his music with others.
