He married the love of his life, Ellen, in 1995 and had a beautiful baby girl, Lacy, in 1996. Mikes greatest love in his life was being a father and husband.  You would never see one of them without the other two. Mike was always supportive along with his wife and daughter of any and all family events, especially with the Porters.  He loved and cherished his old Grandpa and Grandma Porter.  He spent a lot of his youth with them on the farm playing with cousins and learning all Grandpa had to share.

He was a diesel mechanic for 38 years and was employed at C.E. Butters for the past seven years.

He is survived by his wife and daughter, father, brother, Rex, and sister, Heidi. He is preceded in death by his mother, grandparents, Russell and Barbara, and sister, Cindy.

He was the best husband and father in the world and will be dearly missed.
