Michael enjoyed visiting state parks, especially Jay Cooke State Park in Carlton. He loved kayaking at Split Rock Lighthouse State Park north of Two Harbors, Minnesota. His favorite part was kayaking to a spot to enjoy some cheese, crackers and a little wine, and take in the beautiful Minnesota summer day.

He is survived by brothers Jack (Vicki) and Ernie of Cloquet; nieces, Amy Kolodge (Steve) of Cloquet and Abby Willie (Dan) of Austin, Texas; nephew, Joshua Hagen (Dawn) of Cloquet; and special friend, Phyllis Block of Mellen, Wisconsin.
