Michael was an avid hunter and trapper. He was a proud member of the Ohio State Trappers Association and even attended trapper's college. His love of nature was known to everyone who loved him. His love of hot wings and Coke Zero was also known to many. He thoroughly enjoyed his job at Cottom's Wildlife Rescue and all of the friends he made there. He spent countless days at Jean and Greg's farm, his happy place. He loved going on hunting trips with his dad, uncles, and friends. He enjoyed spending time with his dogs, Grandpa and Squirrel. Michael was consistently the funniest person in the room, always making people laugh with his quick wit and hilarious one liners. He was such a big, warm presence. He was an incredible son and protective, loving brother. He could always be counted on to cheer you up on the hardest of days. He was truly a one of a kind.
