After high school and years apart, Mike and the love of his life, Cathy Yelkin were reunited at his sister, Amy’s wedding in June 2014. They were later married in 2017 at the family farm.

Mike was a humble, loving, genuine and loving man. Devoted to his family, country, and God. He fiercely loved his family, but loved to pick on his nieces and nephews while offering them a “popsicle.”
