MICHAEL PATRICK FORESTER, 31, lifetime Lapeer resident, died suddenly Tuesday, June 1, 2021. He was born May 13, 1990 in Lapeer, to Carl and Michele (Robb) Forester.

Mike graduated from the Michigan

Youth Challenge

Academy in Battle Creek. He has worked as a roofer in the Lapeer and Genesee County areas for many years, in both residential and commercial construction. Michael loved to go to the beach, spending many wonderful times at Lake Minnawanna in the Metamora- Hadley State Recreation Area. He just enjoyed being outdoors with friends and family. Mike loved children and children loved him, he was a “big kid at heart”! When he walked into the room, his smile would light the room up and you would get lost in his huge, beautiful eyes. Mike had a great sense of humor, he was very funny…always making everyone laugh. Michael was a kind, gentle soul… he will be missed by all who knew him.
