Mike was a man known for his sence of humor, pride and kindness. He has taught many people the meaning of giving of one's self. Mike knew the value of travel and was never afraid to do what made him happy. His gypsy spirit brought him into countless lives, though his sence of family always returned him home. Mike found great pride in his family and enjoyed bragging on them and their accomplishments. All that knew him, knew Mike would give the shirt from his back to anyone in need. His genuine kindness shone through his personality as a beacon of character.
Mike is survived by his mother Christina Skeens, wife Rena Skeens, sister Penny Das and daughter Kristie Winters. He is also survived by children Rhonda Miller and Tim Moore, as well as numerous aunts, nieces, nephews and grandchildren. He is preceded in death by his father Robert and his brother Dale.
Mike was a man who taught us all the importance of laughter. He is truly loved and will be forever missed by all who knew him.

Dad- I love and miss you very much. I will spend a lifetime teaching my children lessons you've taught me, who you were and what you valued. You will never be forgotten

Kristie, 16 June 2003

Dad:

You are the hand that raised me and made me the person I am today. I could not have asked for more and will always be grateful for everything you have taught me. Zach and Mackenzie will always have the memories of you taking them fishing. We will miss you greatly and will keep you in our hearts forever. Dad, I will see you again on the other side and will love you always.
