Michael lived in Florida and Wisconsin during his youth, attending South Milwaukee High School and MATC. In 9th grade, he met the love of his life, Madeline Dielen, whom he married in 2016 and remained married until his death. Michael worked in roofing and parts manufacturing and truly loved his work. Despite the challenges he faced in life, Michael showed great kindness to everyone he met, always willing to help others. In his free time, he enjoyed cooking, gardening, quiet activities such as reading, all forms of creative art, and especially working with metal. Recently, he had developed a keen interest in making jewelry.

Michael will be laid to rest at the Lutheran Cemetery in Sheboygan.

Michael gave his whole life without expecting anything in return. His selfless and kindness towards others reflected his empathetic and compassionate nature, and he will be missed.
