Micheal enjoyed spending time with his family, especially his son Dominic and live streaming on his video games, while hanging out with his friends. As a young boy, Micheal loved most spending time with his Papa Don in the shed watching and learning as Papa tinkered with the tractors aka “putt putt’s. “

Micheal’s Grandma Anna describes him as a chameleon, what he liked today he didn’t want anything to do with the next day. He hated going anywhere if the car ride was more than 10 minutes. He was a smiling little boy always happy until bedtime. he would wait until Papa Don or Gma was asleep then would crawl into bed with one of them.

Micheal was a St. Louis Cardinals fan which sparked a friendly rivalry with his Aunt Paula and Tish as being Chicago Cub fans.

Micheal should be remembered for his kindness, his big heart and for having had the biggest brightest smile.

YOUR SMILE

Though your smile is gone forever, and your hand we cannot touch.  

Still, we have so many memories of the one we loved so much.

Your memory is our keepsake with which we will never part.

God has you in his keeping, we have you in our hearts.

It is sad to walk the road alone, instead of side by side.

But to all, there comes a moment when the ways of life divide.

You gave us years of happiness, then came sorrow and tears,

But you left us beautiful memories, we will treasure through the years.

A Celebration of Michael’s life will be planned at a later date. Memorials may be given to the family and can be mailed to Wilson’s Funeral Home, P.O. Box 277, Ava, IL 62907.
