Mike attended Woodland School and graduated in 1971. He drove truck for US Foods and Walmart Distribution. After retiring he worked for the State of Illinois driving a snowplow (calling them snowbirds) and later worked for the Otter Creek Twp. Helping Marty Bedecker. Mike was a member of St. Michael the Archangel Church, Sandyford Sportsman’s Club. He enjoyed fishing, riding his kubota with his dog Joesy, helping others whenever they needed help. He loved going to Byron drag races, sometimes watching the Red Mustang race! He loved talking to his friends on the phone (John, Lance, Rick, Jake, Arnie, Jim and Gary) who always brought a smile to his face and laughter that was truly needed. Farming with Gary was his hobby when he was not working. His dream was building his Camaro from scratch, and his passion was work and driving a Semi. He always said “My family comes first”. He will be truly missed and forever in our hearts
