“Live to ride, ride to live.” One of Harley Davidsons slogans, and surely not lost on Michael Miniear. He loved his Harley, his brother told me. He lived fast and hard. He was a Harley owner, a rig hand, a dog lover (he truly loved his companion, Freyja). He was a Griz fan and would attend as many games as he could with his dad. When not on his bike he could be found hanging out watching movies with his friends and family, who would describe him as funny - someone who could get them laughing. He also loved going to concerts. He was loyal and kind with a heart of gold & truly loved those close to him. Born in Billings, he was a brother and a son.

Michael was 26 when called home on September 30, 2017, leaving many that will forever miss him, including his parents: father, Jim Miniear and his fiancée, Caroline Doubek and children, Dillon, Lacey and Danielle;   and mother, Sheri Sanchez and stepfather Chris Sanchez; brothers, Joe Miniear, Justin Sanchez, Devin Sanchez, and EJ Sanchez; grandparents, Conrad Miniear, Carolyn Miniear and Ann Shafer.

A Vigil service will be held Friday, October 6, 2017 at 7:00 PM in the Rose Room Chapel at Croxford Funeral Home. The Funeral Mass will be held Saturday, October 7, 2017 at 11:00 AM at Our Lady Of Lourdes Catholic Church.
