Niccum, Michael Forrest February 8, 1960 - July 1, 2013 Mike fought a long and courageous battle with cancer. In the end, the disease took control of his body, but not his mind or his spirit. Mike was born in Columbia Heights, MN where he grew up in the 60s and 70s participating in the culture unique to that area. His chosen profession was an A&P mechanic, but his hobbies are what made his life most interesting and fun. His hobbies included: flying aerobatics, hockey, guitar and music, hunting, woodworking, and making model and radio control airplanes. He took full advantage of the precious amount of life he was given and we are grateful to have known and loved him. Mike was preceded in death by his father, Wayne and survived by his wife of 25 years - Marilyn; pup Saturn; mother, Jacqueline (Jerry) Blume; brothers, Tom (Nancy Dowling), Pat (Patty) and sister, Kathy (Bob), as well as many nieces and nephews. A memorial service is planned for Thursday, July 11, at 11:00 AM at the Niccum Hangar in Webster, MN.
