To those of you who did not have the pleasure, he was a standout athlete who left a positive impression on those lives that he came in contact with by being an inspiration as a friend and teammate, a soccer coach to younger kids in the Striker organization and a humble winner with a contagious smile.

Mike was taken to be with his Lord at the age of 15 on a snowy November night on an icy road in 2005.

Mike was a phenomenal soccer player that spent hour after hour on a little field near his home perfecting his shot. This is the same field that thanks to the City of Ferrysburg is now officially named the Mike Herman Memorial Field.
