      Mike was born in St. Johns, MI on July 27, 1959, he was the son of James Francis and Alice Hildegard (Martin) Becker. He retired from Peckam as a general worker in 2019, after working there for many years. Mike was also a dedicated member of Most Holy Trinity Catholic Church. He participated in many Special Olympic events over the years, including bowling and frisbee throwing, and won many medals for his achievements.
     He left a mark on everyone he met. Mike's blue eyes and smile always lit up a room. He will always be remembered for his endless supply of hugs and kisses.
     Mike never had a boring moment. His many hobbies include: playing bingo, playing pool, bowling, strumming the guitar, and eating all of his favorite foods (which was everything). One of his favorite pastimes was going on car rides looking for deer. In the summer, he enjoyed spending time with his family at Chippewa Lake fishing, swimming, and relaxing. At home in the fall, you could always find him rooting for Michigan football and the Lions.
     Everyone was family to Mike, especially when you got the invite to his three favorite holidays: his birthday, Christmas and 4th of July. But his nieces and nephews (including the greats) will always have the number one spot in his heart.
     He is survived by his loving mother Alice; his siblings: Duane (Sarah) Becker, Neal (Sharon) Becker, Lori (Don) Gilbert, Jan (Roy) Burnham, Amy (Terry) Schafer, and Kay (John) Gutierrez. He is also survived by many nieces, nephews, great-nieces and great-nephews. He was preceded in death by his father James, and his brother Brian Becker.
