Michael was an E7 Master Sergeant in the United States Air Force when he retired in 2013 as a fuels operation supervisor for the POL division. He received his Bachelor of Nursing from Northwestern State University in May of 2018.

Michael always loved to keep himself busy working on different projects but was able to find the time to relax and enjoy the little things in life. He loved jeeps, watching old time westerns and military movies and he loved to cook, especially Cajun food. He always enjoyed going to the movies with his family any chance he got. He loved his precious dogs, Brandy, Sam and Lizzy but above all, he loved his family for they truly meant the world to him. He was loved by all who met him and truly made everyone a better person for knowing him. Michael will always be remembered for being the definition of a hero.
