Mike joined the United States Air Force in 1978 and proudly served his country for 4 years. Mike loved his family and friends unequivocally. With his first wife he fathered two children, his son, Christopher, and daughter Gretchen. In October 2004 Mike married his soul-mate, Kristine, with whom he joyously shared the remaining years of his life. Mike worked hard and played hard. He liked to hunt, water ski, play basketball and ride his motorcycle. He is survived by his wife, Kristine, his parents, John and Fran, son Christopher and daughter-in-law, Elly, daughter Gretchen, step daughters, Kyla and Ashley Jerousek, brother Mark and sister-in-law Cindy, sister Mary Kay and brother-in-law Javier Garcia, four nieces, one nephew, one great-nephew, one step grand-daughter, and two step-great-granddaughters.
