Michael's career focused on simulation and he was most recently employed at Rockwell Collins in Salt Lake City.

Anyone who knew Michael, knew he was an avid motorcyclist and spent much of his free time riding and racing in the area. Michael is survived by his mother, Una White of Springfield, Va, his sisters; Lori Roy (Totan) of Sterling, Va, Cynthia Thomas (Stanley) of Alexandria, Va, and Susan Manley (Steve) of Richmond, Va. He was a loving uncle and great uncle to nine nieces
