   Michael was born in Sioux City on August 14th, 1945 to Howard and Catherine (McAndrews) Foxhoven. He attended school at Bishop Heelan and worked at the Capital Theatre as an usher where he met his wife, Rosemary (Feller). Mike and Rosemary were married in 1966 and had 3 wonderful children (Lisa, Michael Jr, and Christine). Michael proudly served in the Navy for 4 years before moving to California. In California, he worked for the Le Mesa school district for 28 years. He then retired and moved to Florida. 2 years later, he moved back to Sioux City for the remainder of his life.

   Michael was a wonderful man with a great sense of humor. His children and grandchildren were the pride and joy of his life. Michael was committed to his family, making sure they would achieve their highest potential. When Michael wasn’t outside taking care of the lawn, he would be inside watching sports or playing solitaire. He loved to relax and take naps with his dog, Holly. He gave the best hugs, where you always want to go back for more. He will be truly missed by many.
