He was preceded in death by his father, Joseph H. Kerstiens and mother Geraldine Louise Eason. Mike and his family were a significant part of our Wickenburg community. He was employed at Napa, Bromm Chevrolet, and Wickenburg Oil. He was also an Exalted Ruler and member of the Wickenburg Elks for many years. His love in life was fishing. He often enjoyed spending weekends at Lake Alamo with his family and friends. He also took after his mother in his passion for hunting, the outdoors, and taking his family camping. Mike is survived by his son Michael Jon Kerstiens, Jr. of Wickenburg; stepdaughters Melissa Krieble and Samantha Roberts of Phoenix; grandchildren Michael and Tiera Kerstiens; four step-grandchildren; sister and brother-in-law Louise and Richard Grantham, uncles and aunts Larry and Joyce Fields of Wickenburg, Neva Rhodes of Glendale, Ariz., and Kenneth Fields of Lancaster, Kan.
