Michael was the team coach for the championship winning Louisiana, Monroe university waterski team and a very successful tournament three eventer in his own right. He was an outstanding young man and a huge credit to his family, friends and the sport of waterskiing. Our sincerest condolences go to his family at this terrible time

A JustGiving page has been set up to help Michael's family with medical, repatriation and funeral costs:
