Michael was a landscaper. He was a very unique person loved by many. He always made you laugh and had a very contagious smile.

He was a great friend to many and an amazing friend to a select few; we loved his antics and games. He will be greatly missed and loved by all those whose lives he touched.

Melius; sister Jessica Melius; special Aunt Linda Wayman and her husband Steve; Uncle Gary Somerville and wife Bonnie; Uncle Tim Melius and wife Elizabeth, several close cousins, and special friends Andrew and Steve Pasternak and Russell Kanser, as well as his special buddy Gizmo his cat.
