He is deeply missed by his  two children, Lee and Danielle (Daniel) Halpin. He was also blessed  with one grand-daughter and will be missed by Danica June, who  lovingly knew him as Papa Mike. He is further survived by his siblings, Sandy (Ken) Hinkle, Ronald,  Judy (Richard) Hannemann and Wally and Susie (Terry) McBride. He was  a brother-in-law to Donna (James) Schoenfeldt, Bill (Debbie) Heidtke,  Patty (William) Grace and Bob (Jody) Heidtke. He is also survived by  many nieces and nephews. He will be deeply missed by his many friends and co-workers. Mike’s love was over-the-road trucking. He became a trucker after  high school and served his country in Vietnam while in the Army. Mike  became friends with many of the customers he delivered, going out of  his way to give the best customer service, whether it was giving out  Sargento hats or coupons. Mike also loved riding his Harley and going on cross-country rides.  He was known as "leader of the pack," mapping out the route and  making sure everyone’s needs were met while riding. There was no need  to worry about where we were going, as Mike had the stops all  planned. This was one of the many things he gave in life and expected  nothing in return, except for everyone along to have a good time. Mike was always happy to let his nephew and nieces and granddaughter  get in his "big truck" just for the experience of being in there. He  also made sure that every niece and nephew had a toy Sargento truck  from the time they were born. Mike gave generously of his short time at home to others on the  weekend. He would put others before himself. He did love riding his lawn mower in summer to relax or moving snow  with his tractor in the winter. He loved working in his shop working  on many different projects with his friend, Andy Livingston. Mike was also known for his witty humor and his loud deep voice.  Often times you could walk in a room and hear him before seeing him.  Mike never complained or whined. He lived life to the fullest and  often stated, "Life is good." Mueller Funeral Home & Crematory is serving the family.
