Michael grew up in San Angelo, Texas and graduated from Central High School. After high school, Michael attended Angelo State University. Michael worked as a graphic artist for Newman Design Company, Standard Times and Town & Country Design department. As a lifelong graphics artist one of his most defining moments was his graphics business MDK Multimedia, Artist, Designer and Consultant. Michael was business minded, always reading and researching new business topics. He loved to talk to young people with encouragement of starting their own business, whatever their talent or passion was. To those of you who helped Michael with his business projects, we say Thank you. Michael’s second passion was cooking for friends and family. His favorite meal to cook was breakfast, which was known as “Big Breakfast”. Michael remained brave throughout his final weeks. To all those who knew him, he never lost that unique since of humor. He leaves behind to cherish his memory: two sisters, Sharon Kelly Rivers of Missouri City, Texas and Patricia Kelly Thompson of San Angelo, Texas.
