Michael grew up in Hallettsville with the pedal to the metal as you could say.  He loved racing, grilling outdoors, vacation and beach trips with his family. He has been in love with building trucks and cars his entire life. One of his most favorite jobs was at Kawasaki when he was building motorcycles. He had a true interest for anything that would go fast and that he could tweak to possibly make it go faster. A man who had nitrous in his blood.  He loved to attend car shows and any race that had a finish line with his boys.  His most favorite hobby was his remote control cars that he has worked and raced for over 30 years. It was a love and hobby that kept him happy, steadfast and balanced.
Michael will forever be remembered for his kindness and the love that he had for his family. We will never forget the fight you fought for so long. We will forever be thankful for the memories, as they will forever remain in our hearts.
