He was born September 19, 1945 in Ogden, Utah to Norman Kay and Fern Kennedy Moyes. He attended school in Ogden, and graduated from Ogden High School. He also attended Utah State University and was a member of Sigma Phi Epsilon fraternity. He joined the Army Reserves.

Michael enjoyed the outdoors and doing yard work, camping and all animals. He loved old cars, trains and airplanes. He enjoyed going to the Hill Aerospace Museum, and loved to watch drag racing on TV. We loved him so much and we appreciate how he took such good care of all of us. He will be greatly missed.

The family would like to thank the ICU team at Huntsman Cancer Institute for their care and compassion. We would also like to thank Dr. Carl Gary, Jan Davis and the nurses in the infusion unit at Utah Oncology for their care.
