Mike loved the special times we shared as a family. He enjoyed watching the little ones and Hunter playing his favorite music on his guitar. Fun, food, music and a good story was always on the menu.
Mike always had a passion for driving which he got from his grandfather, Allen Hoyt. He drove tractor trailer throughout the eastern states, taxi for Lavigne's and later Uber. He always had a dream of owning his own cab company. Mike was also a DJ for many years. He provided his DJ services at benefits, local fire departments, weddings, Whiteface Mountain, special occasions and family gatherings. He had a way of making special moments a little more special. He liked giving the extra special touch such as the slideshows he put together for people with their favorite music to create lasting memories. He would sign off by saying, "this is Mike Magee 'til quarter to three!"
