To everything there is a season and a time to every purpose under heaven. -Ecclesiastes 3:1

To all who remain I walked this earth as a quiet soft-spoken man with measured steps and learned to have a deep appreciation and understanding of life and love.  As I journey home, please know and remember how much I love you and will miss you.

Farewell, Michael

Left to cherish Michael's memory are beloved wife, Diane of 47 years, honorary granddaughter Chloe Allison, and beloved pet Kellie Kitty, as well as many other family and friends.  May Michael's memory be a blessing.

In keeping with Michaels wishes, no services will be held.

Expressions of sympathy and condolences may be sent to Eidsness Funeral Home at 1617 Orchard Drive Brookings, SD 57006.
