Amsty, Mike, had a heart of gold and would do anything for family, friends, or anyone else he met. He was very passionate about the music industry and achieved his goals of touring the world for 33 years as a roadie and tour/production manager for many notable music artists while also fostering the dreams of others. When not touring, Mike found peace at home or at the marina with his loving partner of nearly 23 years, Jennifer, and their beloved cats. He embraced all music genres and filled their home with full volume melodies at all times of the day. During his downtime he also enjoyed traveling to Colorado to visit his brother and his family. Mike courageously battled complex regional pain syndrome for over a decade. "Now free from pain, soar with the eagles my love and soulmate. You will never be forgotten... until we meet again."
