Celebrate Michael's Life: Support Cremation Services

There are no words to describe Michael. He was everything and so much more! Michael had more friends than anyone I know. He looked up to everyone, and his heart was larger than life. Life was not kind to him, but he always managed to make the best of it. Michael brought laughter and light everywhere he went. He was someone you could count on to be there when it mattered most. He was a friend, brother, cousin, son, and a clown. Michael found his passion in motorcycles and lived for the thrill of the ride. Michael tried so desperately to fix others even when his own hands were shaking. Michael fought life until his knuckles were raw, and he thrived despite all the bullshit he was put through. Michael was the one who loved the unloved things... the dandelions and worms. He ran towards the rain, the same way we run towards the sun. He deserved so much more than this world could have offered him, and our days will forever be darker in his absence.

All donations will be used for cremation services, family viewing, and bike restoration. If anyone would like to donate things (stickers, sayings, or decals for his bike) that remind them of Michael, those can be sent to Abigail Ely at 51448 Lake Dr, Elkhart, IN 46514. Thank you to everyone!
