He loved spending time with his family, going camping, cooking for them and throwing Super Bowl parties. He was an avid gardener and enthusiastic Vikings fan. Michael had an infectious laugh, which people easily recognized. He had a special affection for his pets, especially his puppies. Michael was an adamant researcher and learner, teaching himself how to do anything and everything. He especially enjoyed researching and discussing his trips to Mexico, his favorite place to vacation.
He is survived by his wife; children, Rachel (Jason) Bellamy, of Anoka, Nicole (Peter) Thiel, of Ottertail, and Dan, of Sartell; grandchildren, Tommy and Alex Bellamy and River, Olive and Violet Thiel; siblings, Artie Hammer and Ed Jurek; half-brothers, Carl and Ben Jurek; aunt and uncle, Roma and Don Steckling and other nieces, nephews, relatives and friends.
