For the last 13 years, Mike was a professional truck driver for Johnson Feed, Inc., and he was accident-free for over 1.7 million miles. Mike had a deep love for his family and cherished the moments he spent playing with his granddaughter, Ella, teaching her how to love life as much as he did. No one could miss his loud hearty laugh. An avid walleye fisherman, Mike spent many hours finding “secret” fishing holes up at Lewis and Clark Lake, where the couple enjoyed leisure time at their lake home. He had a love for perusing the aisles at Cabela’s and searching for the next best Walleye lure and fishing gear.
