Michael William Goetting was born in Trail, BC and was the middle child in a family of seven. He had two older sisters, a younger brother and a younger sister. Growing up, Mike loved camping and horseback riding. He also loved music and enjoyed playing his guitar. He became a Carpenter by trade and took great pride in all the projects that he worked on. Mike chose the many paths he went down over the years, and he lived his life on his own terms. He spent his final years living peacefully and quietly in Trochu, Alberta with his loving partner Deb. Mikes father and his four siblings are sadly mourning the loss of their son and brother, but they take great comfort in knowing that he has been welcomed with open arms by his loving mother in heaven. No services will be held at this time.
