Michael was born July 27, 1977, in Tulsa, Oklahoma. He was the son of David Wayne and Anita Marie (Boyd) Collins. Michael began his education in Cleveland and later graduated with the Class of 1996. During his time in school, he was very active in football, wrestling, and track. Michael also furthered his education at Drumright Vo-Tech in robotics and telecommunications.

Then he accepted a position with SecureDyne Systems where he worked until he became disabled with Multiple Sclerosis in 2014.

Michael was a wonderful person and loved being around others. He always had a genuine smile that would light up a room. Michael enjoyed going fishing, shooting and watching “Wheel of Fortune.” While watching Wheel of Fortune, it has always been a competition for who could solve the puzzle first. Michael always wanted to move and live up north, and he always enjoyed the times he went to Montana and Colorado on vacations. Michael had a very witty and funny personality.
