Michael was born on September 3, 1953 in Platteville, the son of Robert “Bob” and Florence (Tindell) Udelhofen. He was an avid fisherman and enjoyed refinishing furniture. He loved the outdoors, working in the garden that he and Jody did together, and taking care of his plants. Michael was an outstanding cook and loved to try and make new dishes all the time to share with parents and family. When Michael could he loved spending time with his brothers, whether fishing, golfing or going to the cabin. He had a special companion, Ella, his dog.

Michael was a very special person and wanted to make sure he could help out whoever he could. Michael did this by being an organ donor and helping save three peoples lives and others.
You will be loved and missed xoxo
