NASCAR Races, computer games, watching science fiction and action movies, and most importantly just living in the moment.
Burgers, ice cream, anything Joann or Josh cooked for him, apple pies and definitely cookies!
All country music and especially the concerts at the track
He loved his bubble baths! That was his special treat and something he looked forward to after a long hard day at work.
To kick back with his buddy Pete and his late wife Joann almost every evening and did I mention going to the track with these two! Oh the stories we heard about these three at MIS and the adventures they had together! They had such a huge group of friends that they enjoyed every year in June and August. If you were so lucky to be invited to join this trio, the laughs and shenanigans would be endless!
Easy….Michigan International Speedway! Mike, Joann and Pete had planned to tour as many of the NASCAR tracks as possible when they retired together. But Jesus must have decided that their party would be best spent in Heaven watching the races together!
Did I mention NASCAR? And occasionally golf if he wanted to take a nap in his chair. He also loved to watch the wings, lions and of course the tigers!
Michael Adair, beloved son, stepfather, and friend, passed away on June 17, 2024, at the age of 56. Born on October 16, 1967, in Detroit, MI, Michael was a resident of Clinton Township, MI.
Michael had a zest for life and enjoyed indulging in his favorite hobbies. He found excitement in attending NASCAR races, playing computer games, and immersing himself in science fiction and action movies. Living in the moment was a value he held dear.

Michael found solace in bubble baths, considering them a special treat after a long day at work. His dedication to his career was evident during his time at Fisher Dynamics.
Though he experienced the loss of his late wife Joann in 2019 and Pam Carl in 2020, Michael's love for his stepchildren, Josh Kretchman and James Sopko-Allegretti, endured.
