Celebration of Life
Michael was born in Garden City, Kan. and his family moved to Tehachapi the following year in 1998. He grew up riding skateboards and dirt bikes and loved the outdoors. He graduated from Tehachapi High and joined the Army in 2015. Michael started working in the wind industry in 2017 and was erecting windmills in Texas in 2021. He sadly left us at only 24 years old. He will be greatly missed. He is survived by his mother, Lisa, and sister, Maia, and many more family members and friends. Since he knew Jesus as his Lord and Savior we know as Christians we will see Michael again in heaven. This is a promise that God gives us in His Word, the Bible. The services will be announced later.
