Michael was a lover of music, and as an amazing self-taught bass player he had a heart and passion for the blues. His career and life as a drywall finisher and painter was an extension of his art and creativity. Michael was one of the best at what he did and he truly left his mark on the world through music and painting. On the fun side of life, Michael had a love for good humor, video games, classic cars, sports cars, racing and pushing any car to the limit to see what it was made of.
