He was born July 1, 1952, to Thomas and Lucille (Bellanger) Turner in White Earth.
As a young child, he moved with his family to Minneapolis for a short time before
returning to northern Minnesota. They lived in the Naytahwaush area where he
attended school. In 1974, he enlisted in the U.S. Army and served in Korea. After
his honorable discharge, he returned to Naytahwaush and shortly thereafter met
Carol Wadena. They were married in 1981 and had three sons. He attended
carpentry school then began painting homes in the area. He furthered his
education by obtaining his degree as a fishery technician. He worked with the
White Earth Natural Resources Department for many years. Over the years, he
also spent time leeching, harvesting wild rice and raising dogs. He plowed snow
for the elders for several years. Most recently, he was employed at the Shooting
Star Casino as a blackjack/poker dealer until his health prevented him from
working. He enjoyed being outdoors and was often found hunting, fishing or
trapping. In his younger days, he played softball. His true passion was playing
poker. He played at the casino, with family and friends and even on the computer.
He is survived by his wife of Naytahwaush; sons, Michael Jr. (Alicia), Timothy
(Cassandra) and Eric (Brittany), all of Naytahwaush; mother of Naytahwaush;
brothers, Bruce (Darla) and Terrance, both of Naytahwaush; sister, Patricia Turner
