Mike joined his wife (Nancy Oliver) in heaven on May 9, 2011 after a peaceful passing with his only child, Melissa Howard, by his side. He is also survived by his beloved grandchildren; Morgan and Cole Howard who will miss their Papa more than words can say; Steve Howard, who will cherish all their camping trips filled with so much humor; and his brother Greg Campana. Mike lived by the motto that you are only as good as your word and the integrity he exuded to all that he touched will never be forgotten.

Friends and family are welcome to attend his service on Saturday, May 14th. A visitation will be from 9am to 11:30 at the Habing Family Funeral Home in Gilroy- followed by his final rest at Gavilan Hills Memorial Park in Gilroy.
