Forrest Huntley Jr., also known as Mike to his friends and family, was born on May 8, 1948, to Forrest and Grace, in Lowell, Massachusetts where he was raised. Mike moved to Ohio to attend John Caroll University, from which he received his bachelor's degree. Later, he met the love of his life, Dawn, and the two spent 46 happy years by each other's side. They moved to Munson Ohio, where they raised their wonderful children and stayed for 38 years. In 2008, Mike co-founded Millstone Management Group, a commercial general contracting firm. He worked hard to build what is now a successful, multi-generational family business and was well loved by his employees, who he treated as if they were his own family. Mike was an incredibly generous man, enthusiastically looking to support people and causes he cared about. Outside of work, golf was Mike's biggest passion in life. He had the opportunity to play at golf courses across the United States and especially enjoyed playing in Arizona. For over 20 years, he was a part of an annual golf trip to Chatauqua Lake, and he played in a local league with friends for several decades as well. For his 70th birthday, he got the chance to travel and play at Pebble Beach Golf Links, which is widely considered to be one of the most beautiful golf courses in the country. Mike also enjoyed working in his yard and would plant beautiful flowers around his home every single year. Mike was a man who wanted to make a difference in the world and was always there to help you when you needed him, no matter the time or task. Mike passed away surrounded by his family on August 16, 2025, leaving behind a legacy as a sharp businessman who loved his family, and undoubtedly made the world a better place simply by being in it. His memory will be eternal in the hearts of all who knew him and loved him.
