Mike was one of the best men I have ever known, his love for his Wife and Children was powerful. He was beyond selfless. Mike and his beautiful wife donated most of their time to the Wells rodeos. He will be missed by us all.

I am so sorry to hear of Mike's passing. He was a childhood friend of mine and my brother, Terry's. We were members of the Buhl Youth Riding club, and we enjoyed doing drills in parades and rodeos. We also enjoyed participating in jamborees and gymkhanas where Mike and I competed in the seven barrel race. My little mare was fast, and she could complete the pattern in seconds, but we could never beat Mike's horse, Mighty Mouse. No one could beat him, but it was fun trying!

Uncle Mike will always be one of my favorites, there was never a day where he wasn´t working hard. I valued everything he taught me about livestock and riding

No matter how busy he was, Morrison would always make time to help the kids with their 4-h animals, wrestling, or anything we asked. He will be greatly missed as an uncle, brother, and neighbor.
