Michael Jay McDonald died at home surrounded by his family on March 30th. Mike was born in Livingston, MT on Dec. 15, 1952, to Kenneth J. And Melva (Evje) McDonald.
Mike met the love of his life, Mary Langley, in Livingston, MT. They had three children: Amanda, Price, and Sarah. He worked for the Burlington Northern Railroad and relocated to Alliance, Nebraska in 1986. Following his retirement, he and Mary moved to Rapid City, SD.
He enjoyed spending time with his family and favorite dog, Barney, golfing, playing BINGO, cruising the car lots, and perusing the TV section of Best Buy. He knew as much as Consumer Reports.
Mike is survived by his wife, Mary, of Rapid City and children Amanda McDonald (Rob Schmidt), Price (Jessica) McDonald, and Sarah (Danny) Watt. His legacy he was most proud of are his beautiful grandchildren: Chloe, Cadence, Barrett, Mason, Olyvia, Lennon, and Graham.
In lieu of funeral services, think of Mike the next time you are playing golf. He would recommend the Rapid City Elks Golf Course. It’s a good place to get your first hole-in-one.
