He was born on August 28, 1950 in Detroit and was a graduate of Mackenzie High School. He was employed for many years as a contract engineer and worked on many significant projects for Dow Chemical Company. He was preceded in death by his parents, John and Hermina (Grosan) Festian.

Michael had a beautiful, deep bass singing voice and he always had a very special love for the north. He spent many of his younger years traveling and going on adventures. He often spoke of many cherished memories he spent with cousins on Dixon Lake in Gaylord, MI. He enjoyed the study of astronomy, physics, and had a strong relationship with his Lord. Michael was generous, cared for and helped those less fortunate than himself.

He was deeply loved by his surviving sister, Sandra Festian, his son Timothy and his daughter Amy (Festian) Levert, son-in-law James Levert and grandchildren, Zachary and Alexander, as well as many cousins.
