Michael was born Oct. 2, 1982 in Pensacola, Fla. He moved to Alaska at the age of 6 months. He attended Robert Service and Wasilla high schools. He worked as a plumber, cook and in construction.

Michael’s greatest joy was becoming a father to his little angel, Kichelle, in May 2007. He was baptized a Catholic at the time of his death. He enjoyed playing with his daughter, watching movies and hanging out with friends and family.

His family wrote: “Michael was a free spirit who always said, ‘All who wander are not lost.’ He truly loved his daughter, family and friends. He had an infectious smile and never met a stranger who did not become his friend. He loved history, books and movies about Roman times. He is now a pirate with a ship. He will be forever missed and lives on through his daughter.”
