Michael loved to work with his hands and would always challenge himself to handy-man jobs. He always believed with a little glue and duct tape he could fix anything lol. He started a career in machinery after college and his career spanned over 40 years of his life. He ended his career at Dane Manufacturing company as a Metal Fabrication Trainer where he spent over 7 years sharing his knowledge while regaling his fellow co-workers with his many jokes and good energy. 

Michael will forever be remembered for his all-aroundknowledge of subjects and his charismatic attitude towards others. Some of his past times included spending time with his family and friends, fishing, and taking his boat out for a cruise on the lake.

Michael always thought that he’d have enough time to always be with his loved ones, but God had another agenda in mind. At 6:47 pm on November 3rd, he was called home to take his position in Heaven. He is preceded in death by his father Thomas Davis.
