Michael Patrick Carrigan sadly passed away on October 5, 2022 after a brief battle with kidney cancer.  He was 74.

Mike was an avid football fan, gun enthusiast, workaholic, control freak, loyal Amazon shopper, best advice giver, devoted husband, loving father and grandfather.  Mike met and married his soul mate making his life complete, he found true happiness when surrounded by family.  He never met a stranger and could talk to anyone for hours about anything, but let me shut up.
