Mike served very proudly in our US Marine Corp and in Vietnam. Upon his return home after honorable years served in the military, Mike pursued his career as a Journeyman Lineman, and worked for IBEW. Mike made many great friends, acquaintances, and memories along the way all across the country from which he eventually retired in 2012.
In 1990, Mike married Linda and together they raised Dave and Jayme. Mike left an indelible impression on the boys. As the years passed, 4 grandchildren were added to the family. Mike’s proudest moments were of the boys and grandchildren.
Mike enjoyed his Grandkids, riding his motorcycle, being a private pilot, and spending time with his family.
Mike was preceded in death by his mother Zora and father Osman.
Mike will be deeply missed by many friends and family members. He will be especially missed by his wife Linda, Dave Barnhart (RaeAnn) Samuel and Sydney, Jayme Barnhart (Becky) Blake and Alyssa; brothers, Osman, Vesa, & Luke.
Thank you to family, friends, Care Initiatives Hospice, and the employers who have given us time to spend together during this time of grief and loss. Words cannot express how much this time and support means.
