Mike was born Nov. 15, 1960, to James and Joyce (Kurt) Recker. He graduated from Linn-Mar High School in 1979.

He was preceded in death by his parents and an infant sister, Mary Sue.

Mike's untimely death has left his family and friends deeply saddened. Those who knew Mike will remember him as a kind-hearted, generous man, with an infectious smile.

Mike was a self-employed mason and a skilled and creative craftsman. Mike was generous with his time, his talents and always the first to lend a helping hand. He was the lead volunteer on the construction of several area churches in the communities in which he lived over the years.

Mike spent his spare time fishing, traveling and making people laugh.

He will be greatly missed by all who were fortunate and blessed to call him friend or brother.

We ask that you remember Mike with one of the simple pleasures you may have shared with him – a laugh, a cry, a prayer, a good time or meal.
