He also leaves behind two sisters and a brother: Dean and (Gay) Cooper, Diane Her and (Ron) and Harold Thomas (Tracy Long); his grandchildren Araya Shelton, Nevaeh Shelton, Lily Shelton, Ava Shelton, Everett Shelton, Westley Shelton, Bailee Shelton and Landon Shelton and numerous nieces and nephews, aunts and uncles and cousins.

Mike was a man who loved hard and lived hard.
