Michael Edward Rathbone

He loved fishing, camping, and baking desserts. Oh yes, he especially loved playing penny slots at the local casino. Mike was a double amputee, yet he lived alone and was very independent. When he was baking, he would always reach out to friends and family, wanting to share.

No services are planned. The family will be scattering his ashes at various locations Mike loved. He will be deeply missed by all who knew him.
