Mike was the Jamestown Township Clerk for over 25 years. He was a faithful member and regular attendee of the "Wednesday Night Board Meeting" club. Mike enjoyed riding his Harley-Davidsons, especially his most recently acquired V-Rod because he could go faster. He was an avid outdoorsman, enjoyed nature and his annual Fall Cruise with his Classic Car Club. Mike was greatly respected for his wisdom, fairness, tolerance and patience of those around him. He was a loving husband, father that took his role very seriously, and mentor to many.

Among Mike's survivors are his daughter, Crescentia Reid and son-in-law, Tony Reid of Madison Lake. Mike was preceded in death by his wife, Lynn; son, Matthew; father, Matthew; and two brothers.

When Mike was diagnosed with his illness and was told there would not be a cure, he graciously accepted his fate. He looked forward and was excited to be reunited with Lynn and Matt.
