He was 26 years old and born in 1987 on Long Island, NY. He grew up in Snoqualmie Valley attending Snoqualmie Elementary, Snoqualmie Middle School and graduated from Mount Si High School in 2005. After high school he took courses at North Seattle Community College and went on to become the beloved Shop Foreman of Charter Construction of Seattle, WA. All who knew or met Michael could see and feel his kindness, big smile, easy-going style, sensitivity, openness, and love for those around him.

He is survived by his father Michael Patrick Cruse; bonus-mother Suzanne Cruse; sisters Liz (Scott), Kristin (Scott), Liz (Ray), Darcie, Jamie (Sarah) and Shana (Nick); his nieces and nephews; uncles, aunts, and cousins on the East and West coasts. He had many friends who he was close with particularly those he worked with. From family to friends to co-workers, all have experienced a huge loss in their lives. He was very loved by all his family and friends.

Mikey is at peace and has reunited with his mother, Theresa Cruse, who passed in 1990, Grandmas and Grandpas, his beloved Uncle Greg, and cousins. Michael enjoyed live music concerts, golfing, backpacking trips, games, photography, playing jokes on others, sports and above all the Seattle Seahawks.
