Although cut short, Michael fit many lives into the 60 years he lived here on earth. An advocate of Crohn's Disease research, business owner, baker, cook, truck driver, private investigator, even joining the army; he never let life fully knock him down. He always confronted challenges, physical and otherwise, head on. His tenacity and love for his family and friends was limitless–most significantly for his son, Jonathan. He was very loved and will be missed. Gone too soon.
