Michael graduated from Texas State University and lived in Spring Branch, Texas. Michael was an environmentalist and animal lover; he enjoyed surfing, cycling, and gardening and was passionate about God's creation of nature. He was a champion who ranged from taking care of abandoned cats, water conservation, and safeguarding the pristine land of the Texas Hill Country. Michael was thoughtful, compassionate, and had an appreciation for all living things. Michael would do anything for a friend in need, and he valued his family above all else.  May he rest in peace knowing that his legacy of the love of nature and the land will live through all of us.
