    Mike was a 1976 graduate of Zane Trace High School and retired from DuPont, Circleville, after almost four decades of service. Mike’s passion was his family. He was a wonderful son, brother, and father.  He gave loving and devoted care to his parents Patty and Billy Joe.  He visited them multiple times every day and he and his dad spent countless hours sitting on the front porch visiting and watching the sunset. Mike was well known for his kind nature and generosity. He never met a stranger. Friends and family knew they could count on Mike for anything. He enjoyed trucking and loved his old Kenworth and Western Star. He also loved watching dirt track racing and baseball with his kids. He loved his Beagle, Joey.
