Michael was born In OKC ,weighing 2lbs 14ozs and only 14 in. long. He's was always my little miracle.He loved being outside,playing video games and working on trucks with his brother Kevin and Cody,and picking on Jacob. He was also Momma's boy and boy did he know how to get around me. He had me wrapped around his little finger and he knew it. Michael loved both his Dads, grandparents ,brothers, sisters, all his nieces and nephews very much. He was especially excited about his new neice being born, he would call his sister Kristen every night to see if she was going to have the baby yet and to say I love you .Michael died two weeks before his nieces birth.
Michael attended Keystone Schools and graduated 8th grade there. He was very active in baseball and basketball,and had recieved several awards and trophys, which included honor roll,science,math,reading,spanish and he was student of the month five times during elementary, I remember he was so excited the first time he was student of the month,we took him out to eat and he said "this is the best day ever". Michael was loved by everyone he met. He never met a stranger, it was like he'd known you forever. He,s favorite things to do included, EATING,
hunting, fishing and camping with his brother Kevin,cousin Brian, and his best friend Trever and being with family and friends which all meant alot to him. Michael attended Mannford High school where he was a junior,and he met his girlfriend Jessica whom he cared for very much. He was a member of FFA and had recieved the Greenhand Degree and a Medal. He played basketball for two years, and football for one year. He also attended Central vo-tech,where he was enrolled in welding and had recieved a certificate for excellence.
He always had dreams of becoming a welder and eventually owning his own business one day with his cousin Brian. There was never a person he wasn't willing to help no matter what, he made everyone smile where ever he went.If you were down he could always cheer you up. Michael was killed in a single vehicle accident on Jan. 29,2007,while on his way home from school. His presence will be greatly missed by everyone who knew and loved him. You'll always be in my heart son and I love and miss you deeply. Things just aren't the same without you here.
Michael was given the OUTSTANDING STUDENT of the YEAR award in welding at Central Vo-Tech on May 8, 2007. I wish he could have been there.
