Preceded in death by his loving wife, Judy Jolly and her daughter Lisa Craig. Mike was a devoted husband, loving father, brother, grandfather and good friend to all who had the pleasure of knowing him and his bright blue eyes and beautiful smile.
He had a deep love of hunting, fishing, camping, shooting, boating, fine dining, having parties at the house and grilling. He loved our Arizona outdoors and all the adventures and history it offered.

Known to many as a mentor, friend, father figure, neighbor, Masonic brother, and fun guy who knew how to cook and have a good time; he will be missed.
He was fun at a party and missed Mom dearly so we are glad they are reunited. He loved having his family around him and tinkering on things, especially teaching. He loved the boys and spent as much time with them as he could.
