Our family is so saddened to hear of Mike’s passing. He was such a loving and positive man . It always warmed my heart to see Mike and Judy as I rounded the corner, sitting in their lawn chairs waving at us in the Ankeny Summer Fest parade. His smile and laughter will be forever in our hearts. May God bless you and surround you with his peace as you journey through this very sad time.

First I want to say how sorry for your loss. Mike was a great neighbor and kept all us wild kids in line. Living across the street from him could be a challenge because he never missed much. We would sneak out at night while our parents were sleeping would not know. But Mike would be the first to see us. I alway loved his conversations and views on many things. Over the years. I know he will be in Heaven watching over each of us and leading us in the right way. RIP Mike you were a great man. ?? the Grant Family.
