In 1997, Mike met the love of his live, Kathleen Musgrave Farinas. They married in Jamaica on November 16, 2004.

His sisters-in-law, Milina and Kaori Farinas, mother and father-in-law, Gary and Sherry Musgrave, and sister and brother-in-law Amanda and Craig Shoultz, all thought of him and loved him as their own. His love for his family and friends, smile and laughter will be remembered always.

Mike was a life-long Cubs fan and attended Game 5 of the 2016 World Series which is one of the highlights of his life. His love for all things sports, Cubs, Bears, Blackhawks, Butler, fishing, auto and motorcycle racing led to many adventures for Mike and Kathy. His flag pole became a reference point for the neighborhood of teams' success. His love for fishing took him to unique locations where he prided himself on the fight that led to the "big catch".

Mike worked for over 20 years for the Hertz Corporation, but more recently was the Director of Marketing for the George & Farinas law firm. He was loved and respected by all of his co-workers, especially his wife.
