Micheal was born on September 17, 1949 and raised by Charlotte (Shondel) and Merle Halladay.  After high school he worked for his father at Firestone and then enlisted in the United States Army in 1968. During his military career he honorably served tours in Turkey, Germany and South Korea, as well as in the United Arab Emirates as a liaison to their Air Forces during the Gulf War. He retired from the military in 1993 with the rank of Chief Warrant Officer 3.

While serving in Seoul, South Korea, he met Margaret (Potter) Halladay. They married on November 25^th 1981 in Sheffield, Ohio and soon set roots in El Paso, TX, moving occasionally to pursue career opportunities once their children had grown.

One of his favorite jobs was with Wyle Labs designing projects for the International Space Station.

Micheal loved cheering on the Dallas Cowboys and Boston Celtics, gardening, reading, and a good bottle of beer or glass of wine. After retiring, he and Margaret took sailing lessons and enjoyed their time together near Galveston Bay.
