Michael D. Plester

Michael D. Plester, age 41 of Telluride, Colorado, passed away October 10, 2013. He was born on May 8, 1972 in Farmington Hills, MI; son of David and Karen (nee Bouffard) Plester. Michael graduated from Churchill High School in 1990 and received his Associates Degree from Henry Ford Community College. At 25 years of age Mike's dream of living in Colorado came true when he accepted a job transfer. For many years he worked as an electronics technician for Media Ranch in Telluride. Mike was a true outdoorsman and nature lover. He enjoyed snowboarding, mountain biking, boating, hiking, backpacking, kayaking and camping. Mike was an adventurous thrill seeker; which included snowboarding down the back of a mountain to riding his jeep on dangerous trails. When he was 12 years old his family took a trip out West with the final destination being Disney Land; they stopped along the way to camp in Colorado and he told his parents he would rather stay camping than go to Disney. He was very kind, caring, and loving. Mike loved life and had a great sense of humor. Mike is survived by his parents Dave and Karen Plester; his wife Sara Felton, and his grandparents Marie Plester and Wallace Bouffard. He is also survived by many aunts, uncles, cousins, and friends. He was preceded in death by his grandfather Laurence Plester, his grandmother Anne Marie Bouffard, and his aunt Carol Tallman. Visitation will be held Sunday, October 20 from 2-4pm with the funeral service at 4pm at Casterline Funeral Home, 122 West Dunlap, Northville. In lieu of flowers the family would appreciate memorial contributions to National Park Trust, 401 E. Jefferson St., Ste. 203, Rockville, MD 20850.
