Mike met his beloved wife, Heidi, in high school and followed her to Europe after graduating, where he worked and trained as a cabinet maker. Together they returned to Wyoming and were married. He opened and operated his business, Colgan Woodcraft, from 1966 until his retirement in 2013. He was a volunteer fireman for the Wyoming Fire Department for over 30 years and a long-time member of St. Dominic Catholic Church. He loved archery, gardening, history, trains, camping with his young children, and traveling in his retirement. Mike was also a storyteller and always had a well-timed joke.
