Passed away July 20th at home surrounded by loved ones, at the age of 65. Born and raised in St. Louis, he was a family man and rockin’ musician. He was a hard worker, retiring from LMC Industries. He always put family first. He cherished the time he got to spend with them, especially his grandchildren. All who met him knew he was down for a great time. Never one to sit idle, he loved adventures and spending time at the lake. You could always find him manning the grill at any barbecue. Last, he loved music and playing the drums. He enjoyed jamming and singing for everyone.

Dearest father of Angela Williams, Matt Whitby (fiancé Natasha Kratohvil), Rachel (Kyle) Ward, Jason (Angie) Hart and Jessica (Jamie) Tomaino.

So sorry to hear of Mike’s passing. Our prayers are with you, Pat, and all the family. I wish I had had the opportunity to “jam” with Mike but I guess I’ll have to wait until I see him again, as I do believe in the resurrection. God bless you!
I have great childhood memories of Mike playing the drums upstairs in the house on Winnebago, such a kind and fun loving person. My deepest sympathy to all , I know he was loved dearly and will be missed . Rest in peace my cousin.
