Michael was a maintenance planner at Tamko Building Products in Tuscaloosa, Alabama, a career that spanned twenty-seven years. A quiet man of wisdom and courage, he dedicated his life to his family, ensuring his children knew the value of hard work and determination.
Whether he was cheering from the sidelines of softball and baseball games, teaching his children and grandchildren to fish and hunt, or including them in whatever he was repairing or building, Michael made every moment unforgettable. His legacy endures in the lives he shaped and the example he set each day.
