Michael was a beloved husband, father, son, brother, uncle, coach, mentor and friend.

He coached soccer at North High School for 10 years, leading them to their first ever City Series Championship (learn more: https://youtu.be/CtiyXE5nvbY?si=lJlJ3Q0IHbeKkiq9 ). Michael was a caring and respected community advocate for North Hill. After successfully growing his business, Michael gave back to the community in many ways. He was skilled at giving life to other people's visions. Most of all, Michael had a great love of home and family. He restored an 19th century farmhouse with his wife over 25 years.
Michael is survived by his wife of 37 years Lisa; daughters Megan (Jon Riveron) and Jillian (Brody McCreary); siblings Debbie (Bill) Brent, Johnny (Lynn) Kane, and David Kane; and numerous aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces, and nephews.
