Mike loved everything about horses, being a cowboy and being a good friend. He lived many places, knew many people, and made many, many friends. He enjoyed his family and spending time with the little ones. He had a good heart and a kind soul and was a devoted and loyal friend. If you were in his circle, he had your back. Mike was always working on and building things. He could fix anything-truly a jack of all trades. He was a skilled mechanic and carpenter. He was creative and talented in working with wood, metal and leather. When he was doing all the cowboy things, he was living his best life. He will be missed by many and by those who knew him best.
