Michael Gooding II

Michael was born on March 6, 1980, in Twin Falls, Idaho. He was a beautiful baby, arriving a month late, coming into the world at 9lbs 10oz. Michael was an adorable little boy, who loved to make everyone laugh, which he continued to do in his adult life. His sister came along 3 years later. Michael started out not too happy to have to share his mom and dad but came to love is little sister and torment her at every opportunity, like a big brother sometimes does.
