Mike enjoyed meeting new people. He never met a stranger and enjoyed riding his Harley that included cross-country trips to Washington DC and the Grand Canyon. Mike loved making people laugh. There was never a dull moment with Mike around and you could always find him at the local Whataburger. He took great pride in being Irish and loved celebrating every St. Patrick’s Day. Mike would always claim all of Meghan and Michael’s friends as his own; he was a father to everyone. Mike was a great husband, father, son, brother, uncle and friend. He was always willing to lend a hand during any project; he was there to help. Everyone and his beloved dog Duke, aka Little Buddy, will miss him. He was also a long time parishioner at St. Elizabeth Ann Seton Catholic Church and very strong in his Catholic faith.
