In 1978 Michael married Ann Saxton of Iola, KS and this past December they celebrated 39 years of marriage. He was strongly committed to the Lord and volunteered much of his time to the church. He sang in the first Presbyterian church choir and many of their ensembles. He spent much of his time at home where he showed his dedication and love of his family daily. He enjoyed the great outdoors, which included family camping trips to Colorado. He was an avid reader and lover of poetry. Michael joined the cross-country team in high school and continued running for exercise for some time after.
