Mike Werts was the second of four sons of Keith Werts and Mary Jo Compton-Wilson. He was born at Mt. Home AFB, Idaho, and died from injuries suffered in a construction accident near Homer, Alaska. He graduated from Central Valley H.S. in 1989. He attended Eastern Washington University in Cheney, WA from 1989 to 1991.

Mike loved his three brothers Robert, Douglas and Aaron; they were the best of friends. He was a great husband and wonderful father to his son Brady.

During his lifetime he lived in Spokane, Portland, Seattle, New Orleans and Homer, Alaska. He met his future wife, Kelly Glidden, in New Orleans in 2006. They were married in Homer soon after, where he chose to make his permanent home.

Mike made hundreds of friendships and was a kind and generous person; he made people feel important. They loved his wit and sense of humor, and his laugh was contagious.

Mike was also an excellent guitarist, a highly skilled carpenter and loved discussing the mysteries of the universe, being a fan of Art Bell and using his telescope often; he was also well-read regarding quantum physics and politics. He was a lifelong fan of the University of Nebraska football...GO HUSKERS!!

He will be deeply missed by all.
