He had a strong passion for music and loved playing the guitar. He was self-taught and preferred the classic rock musicians Led Zeppelin, Jimi Hendrix, and Santana.
Mike enjoyed hunting and fishing. He was a conservative, quiet and kept to himself, but remained available to his family.
He is survived by his son Shaun Whisler (Adrian Ackerman); grandchildren Makayla Thornton, Silas Whisler, and Stella Whisler; great granddaughter Everleigh Jacobs; siblings Diane Abrahamsen, Debra (John) Mayo, and Mark Whisler; as well as nieces, nephews and extended family.
He was preceded in death by his parents Jerome and Marilyn Whisler.
