He was born on August 13, 1927 in Ecuanduro, Mexico to Miguel and Angelina (Arroyo) Quintero and has lived in the Muskegon area most of his life. Miguel was a faithful servant of Our Lord and Savior and was a longtime member at St. Jean’s Catholic Church before becoming a member at Our Lady of Grace.

He held the presidential position at the Latin American Club and was an essential part of its existence. Miguel had a real interest in poetry and enjoyed writing his own.

He treasured family dinners and barbequing at Blue Lake; his family meant the world to him. He will always be remembered for his loving personality that was balanced with a jokester sense of humor.
