Michael was just 22 years old when he was called away on May 24, l999 in a motorcycle accident.
He was on his way to work with the Marine Corps in Belton, Missouri when this horrific accident happened.
He served 5 years with the Marine Corps and was made Sergeant. Michael was so proud to be a Marine.
He wore his uniform with such great pride.
He was also very proud of his family.
His son Joseph Michael was his "buddy" as he use to tell me. Joseph is now 2 years old.
He also has a beautiful daughter named Antonia Marie which he was so proud of also.
He loved the fact that everyone would tell him how much Antonia looked like him.

Michael will be loved and missed by all who knew and loved him.
But he will especially be missed by me.
He will forever be in my heart.
Until we can all be together again.
Lots of Hugs and Kisses always,
Love Mom and family.
