Michael Roger Day was born on July 1, 1962, in Mount Vernon, Ohio. He was the son of Charles and Donna (Hopkins) Day. Mike grew up in various places as the family moved from Ohio to Colorado and Virginia before they settled in Minnesota when Mike was in the eighth grade. He attended high school in Clarkfield where he graduated in 1980 and then went to Canby to study two more years at the vocational college. In 1982, Mike began washing trucks at the local International truck dealer.

Mike soon found work with R&G Construction where he worked for over 41 years driving truck and servicing vehicles as a mechanic. He made his home in Clarkfield, on the farmhouse that his family purchased when they came to Minnesota, and was proud to care for his pet Dobermans over the years.

Mike’s enjoyments in life included cooking, gardening, listening to music, watching TV, firearms, and collecting knives and swords. He always made it to family get-togethers and enjoyed spending time with nieces and nephews.
