Michael was born on May 10, 1942 to Wilfred and Norma Doss. He was the oldest of 5 boys. He attended Davenport Central. Mike joined the Navy in 1960 and proudly served for 4 years aboard the U.S.S. Constellation (CV-64). He is a Vietnam Veteran and took part in the Honor Flight. Mike spoke fondly of his travels during his years of service and cherished every moment at sea.

Mike worked at Roth Tank for 30 years, and at Parker until his retirement in 2006.

He married Kerry Klunder on October 9, 1965 at Sacred Heart.

Throughout his life, Mike had many hobbies. He golfed, painted, arrowhead hunted, taught himself to play violin, cooked, hand quilted, and spent time at NorthPark Mall with friends. He never met a dog he didn’t love. Mike walked miles with Toby, his Golden Retriever grandson. He was a prankster and loved to laugh. His greatest joy, however, was spending time with his family.

Left to cherish his memory are his wife; daughter, Deborah (James) Crenshaw; granddaughters, Jordyn (Levi) Gaus and Jensen (Elijah Vratney) Crenshaw; grandson, Noah Crenshaw; brothers, Jon (Debbie) Doss, William Doss, and Dan (Brenda) Doss; and many nieces and nephews.

He was preceded in Heaven by his parents and brother, Steve Doss.
