December 22, 1998:

Mike and his partner Stephen Brunetti, having a wonderful day with many repossessions under their belt for the day were heading for Mesa on the new 202 Highway when at 3:05am a drunk driver who was going the wrong way on the freeway rounded a curve and hit our truck head on killing Michael instantly and seriously injuring Steve.

Michael loved what he did. he was the best Recovery Specialist ever. There was nothing he couldn't do.
