Grew up with Mike, Ken, and Jeff.. many great memories.. praying for family..
Where do I begin, Mike was one of those dads who always made sure we had opportunities to wrestle. You see I was the oldeat in this group. Pat and I hung out. We would train our behinds off. I always enjoyed the crazy energy at thier home. Kyle was always asking me questions about this and that. He was like walking trivia game. Joe well he would always look at me and tell me that he could do anything that i could do but better. Angie would hear Joes comments role her eyes make a one line side bar comment and walk away. Joe would persue her and start to argue. Big Mike in his deep voice, "Kids knock it off!" Mama Schute would just roll her eyes ask how i was doing and would tell Big Mike, "Im headed to the store to pick up 7 gallons of Milk for the week." Then Mike and I would talk about my matches he would hand me over my video tapes that he recorded of me and, say, "Watch your 3rd match, I have now idea what you were thinking! He would laugh pat me on the back with a big smile. I have many great memories with this family and I am saddened to see that Big Mike has passed but his kindness and love for people still exists in all of us. Thoughts and prayers to all of you from the Grangers.
When I first met Mike, I thought, what a big, gruff, grizzly of a guy. But I quickly learned he was an ole’ teddy bear inside! He was a supportive, loving and generous husband, father and friend. He and Sandy seemed to have truly found their life mate in one another and I thought them both blessed in many ways. Mike is being missed and I’m so glad, so honored to have known such a gentle human with a heart of gold. I pray that his family finds strength to heal from their substantial loss. With love to the Schuttes!
Loved growing up and I always looked forward to seeing you and Aunt Sandy, I remember plenty of times being little and telling Dad how happy I was we were going to visit my cousins and Aunt and Uncle. I'll never forget all of the memories our families shared together, whether it be Christmas's or Thanksgiving. Always good times. Rest in Peace, We will all miss you so much Uncle Mike! Love, Your niece, Teresa-
