Michael was a loving person and was willing to help anyone who needed his help. He had a special friend, Steve Bihn, who he loved cutting grass for as well as many other favors. Michael received a loving nickname "Two Belts" from his sister-in-law Kathy because he was trying to wear two belts to church one Sunday. Together, Michael and April participated in a homeless mission called "The Hands and Feet of Jesus" that was established in 2021.
