Michael lived his life to the fullest. He loved talking to anyone he came across and became immediate lifelong friends, remembering every detail and word spoken for years. He enjoyed watching every sport imaginable on TV or in person. His love for the Raiders went deep. He loved riding his motorcycle and his Harley was his baby. Michael and Renne went on may rides together. There was never a day you wouldn’t catch Michael blasting music while making some sort of delicious meal watching whatever sport was on TV. He couldn’t wait for the weekends to come so he could just relax or spend time with his grandbabies.
