He departed this life unexpectedly at his home in Campbell, Nebraska on Wednesday, July 17, 2019 at the age of 62 years, 11 months and 16 days. A lifelong resident of the Bladen and Campbell area, Mike received his formal education attending the Bladen schools and graduated with the class of 1974. Mike began his life’s work farming and working with an area cattle feedyard operation. In later years he enjoyed harvesting and doing custom bailing around the area. He was married to Tammy Carlson at Red Cloud, Nebraska and this union was blessed with a son, Jared, and a daughter, Tara. The marriage later ended in divorce. Mike possessed and pursued a number of interests and activities throughout his life.

He had deep love for rodeos and in his younger years enjoyed bull riding and participating in the wild horse races at the county fair. He enjoyed relaxing working crossword puzzles, driving the country side and especially taking the time to compare and tell stories with his many friends and neighbors. His love for his children and grandchildren was immeasurable and he especially treasured the time they spent together. He was preceded in death by his father, Jim Kral.
