Development Center board and also on the board of the Pretty Lake Home Owners
Association. Even as a child, he served as an altar boy, a paper boy, and a boy scout. He

over a decade, he served as the coach of the Marian High School freshman, junior varsity, and

encouragement inspired them to not only become better players but better people.
Mike was gifted with the extraordinary ability to always see the best in others while constantly
challenging himself to grow in love and compassion for those around him. He knew no strangers
and believed in joyfully greeting each moment of life with a sense of possibility and purpose.
Mike lived his life as a prayer, modeling grace, kindness, patience, and acceptance not only for
