He is rejoined with his loving mother, Mary and friends that had chosen earlier times to depart. Michael was a warrior spending 42 years as an electrician for General Motors, leaving only to proudly serve his country from 1961 to 1966 as a United States Marine during the Vietnam War. He leaves behind his wife and constant companion of 20 years, Louise and son William Crawford Booth. Mike also leaves his stepson, Scott and Cecel of Cadillac; stepdaughter, Cherri Dunnigan, her daughter Alisha and grandson Kyle, of Colorado.

He will be missed by many people he made friends with over the years at General Motors, who fondly called him "Burt", due to his likeness of Burt Reynolds.
