Mike was born and raised in St. Paul, MN; graduated from Johnson High School in 1978 and St. Paul Vo-Tech in 1981. He was former owner of Tholen Plastics, and was blessed to see retirement.

Mike was a man of faith, a true outdoorsman, an avid Texas Hold-em card player, and loved to take road trips with his wife. He was a devoted husband and father to his “3 girls”, and was a wonderful brother, uncle, brother-in-law and father-in-law. He delighted in the friendships he forged with so many, and was truly the best friend and hunting buddy one could have. He will be missed deeply by many. Until we meet again. 1-4-3!
