Michael Roy Middleton was born on December 27, 1955, to Jane and Roy Middleton in Salt Lake City and passed suddenly at home in South Salt Lake on May 12, 2024. Mike graduated from Granite High School. Most of his career was spent driving trucks. He worked the longest for Salt Lake City Public Utilities, but he also delivered parts and urgent freight to mines and out-of-the-way industries across the West. Mike was a pretty good bowler and a fair golfer, and he loved to sing karaoke.
