Michael was born on October 10, 1945 in Denver. The Family moved to Keenesburg, Colorado when Mike was 7 as they needed a Family Doctor there and Michael’s Father began his career there. The family moved back to Denver just before Mike’s Bar Mitzvah which was at Beth Joseph Synagogue. He graduated from George Washington High School's first Graduating Class to attend all 4 years. He then attended CU Boulder and graduated from DU. He got a Master's Degree in Education from UNC. Michael became a special education teacher for the St. Vrain Valley School District in Longmont for over 20 years. He then changed occupations and worked for Comcast for over 12 years. 

Mike & Sharlyn were married at Beth Joseph Synagogue and attended there until it closed. They were Members of HEA where Michael enjoyed attending services.

Michael was a very kind, caring, and quiet man. He had a big heart and his family meant the world to him. He will be greatly missed.
