He had so much love for his family. He was always willing to lend a hand to whoever was in need. He would also make sure there were no empty bellies.

Miguel had a great sense of humor and he was the biggest jokester, even when he was at his worst. He could never have enough family time. His family was his spark in life. He will always carry a special place in our hearts.

In recent years, Miguel worked in Mexico where he had his own cheese business. He was very well respected and loved by many. He was truly one of a kind. He was very generous and made sure that everyone around him was taken care of.
