He attended Moore High School, then decided to move to the northeastern Oklahoma area, and he stayed here the rest of his life. He earned his living as a post frame building builder for B&D Builders. When he wasn’t working, he was on his motorcycle, riding or getting ready to ride. He was a home body unless his friends needed him to keep them in line. He loved to listen to music, make his oldies but goodies rock and old country. Movies were enjoyed in the evening, and he loved to fill his co workers in on the latest plots. When he was younger, he shared his house with two chows, one white named JR and a black one named Bear, he loved them. He had a great sense of humor and loved to see people laugh, and could demonstrate a stubborn streak along with a little attitude. He was the father of a son, Lance Michael and also helped to raise two boys named Ore and Steven. A Christian by faith, Mike passed from this life on August 27th, 2021 in Tulsa, OK. He was 57 years old.
