Michael Paul Horton of Farmington Hills passed away Friday, September 25, 2020 at age 61.

Beloved father of Cassandra (Mark), dear brother of Deborah (the late Daniel), the late Virgil, Linda (Larry), Teresa (Todd) Pamela (Barry); proud grandfather of Jace, Jax and Colt.

Mike was a protector, a defender of our country and family. He was a gentle, tender soul that would do anything for anyone no matter what. He loved classic rock and could listen to music all day. If you needed someone to lend an ear or a friend, he was the person to know. His daughter and grandsons brought him much joy. Mike was an adventurous, strong, dependable, fun, humorous, intelligent, brave, faithful man who will be missed by many.
