Michael was born November 27th, 1979. He never met an animal he did not like. Although he seemed to prefer cats. He leaves Princess and Iris in his mother’s care. Michael never seemed to stay in one place very long. As an adult he lived a somewhat wanderlust life. He visited and worked in several cities in Virginia and North Carolina, Malibu and Los Angeles CA, Denali AK, Key West FL, Denver and Vail CO and Oahu and Lahaina HI. He visited London several times to see friends stopping in Iceland on the return trip. As a result, Michael met many people and made many friends and satisfied his need to talk to and learn about people. While Michael had many struggles in life, he was a good man and will be missed by many.
