Michael was predeceased by his parents, Michael and Rose DeBetta; brother, Paul DeBetta; step-daughter, Patty Patterson.

Mike was a long-time resident of Afton moving there from Long Island in the early 80's. Mike took great pride in being a member of the Afton community and served in many capacities in the local volunteer fire companies. He was an avid hunter, that's what brought him to the area. Mike loved to ride his motorcycle solo or with various clubs he belonged to. As a member of the Short Change Band where he played drums and sang lead vocals, Mike organized and helped raise money for various charities such as Chow and worked the kitchens on holidays to support his adopted community. In honoring Michael's wishes, services will be held privately.
