Born on Friday the 13th, Michael was outgoing, fun loving, and adventurous.
He loved music, electronics, reading, driving, motorcycle riding, and fishing.
While in grade school, he enjoyed and participated in the National Spelling Bee, sledding, ice skating, model railroading, model car building, Matchbook car collecting, and learning to operate tools of all kinds. He especially liked soldering circuit boards and trying to make music emerge from any location - anything that would play music would attract his attention.
In high school he delivered newspapers, worked at Radio Shack, was beginning motocross, and learning to play a harmonica he had received as a gift.

Bone cancer took him from us within a few months' time. Chemotherapy did not save him. Friends, relatives, co-workers, neighbors, teachers and schoolmates attended at Bailey Funeral Home and at Browning Funeral Home.
Pallbearers for him were: Daniel T. McGinnis, Danno J. McGinnis, Harley C. McGinnis, Mike Johnson, Leonard Taylor, and John Riley.
The plot was provided by his grandfather, William T. McGinnis.
Michael is with his greatgrandparents and grandparents in their family plot of the cemetery.
Left to miss him are his parents, two sisters, a brother, and all the extended family.
