Born on April 5, 1993, in Mankato, Minnesota, Mike was a beacon of warmth and kindness throughout his too-short life. A graduate of Madelia High School in 2012, he embarked on a journey that touched the lives of those fortunate enough to know him. Mike discovered happiness in life’s simple joys, treasuring moments with his beloved family and animals, particularly his faithful companion, Odie. The family farm held a special place in his heart, creating countless memories etched in the minds of those who shared them. Mike’s diverse talents spanned carpentry, vehicle repairs, and woodcutting, endearing him to all who witnessed his skilled craftsmanship. His hands were not merely capable; they mirrored his generous and compassionate spirit.
Above all, Mike’s legacy is one of love and selflessness. As a son, he brought pride and joy; as a brother, a confidant, and companion; and as an uncle, a playful and nurturing presence. His friendship, a radiant gift, brightened the lives of all fortunate enough to call him a friend. In life’s tapestry, Mike’s thread wove kindness, empathy, and an unwavering willingness to help others, making him a kind-hearted man who went above and beyond for anyone in need.
Left to cherish his everlasting memory are his parents, Kathy (Shane Broughten) Schofield and Kevin Knewtson; his siblings, Erin Knewtson and Andy (Vanessa) Knewtson; his nieces and nephew, Shakira Classen, Lincoln Knewtson, Ella Knewtson, and many other family and friends. He is preceded in death by maternal grandparents, Curtis and Luella Schofield; paternal grandfather, Floyd Knewtson, as well as many other family and friends.
