Michael attended Saranac school, leaving in the 10th grade to become a self-employed logger for more than 30 years. Michael’s dream was to become a dairy farmer, so he became a dairy farmer, but due to health and other issues, he left farming after eight years. He worked at Adirondack farm. He then went to work for the Town of Saranac highway department, and when the position became open, he became the mechanic. But he also had a hobby farm at home. Michael was a genuine Mr. Fix it, always having a list of things that needed to be completed. Michael enjoyed kayaking and going to Rollins Pond with his wife, children, and grandchildren.
Michael is survived by his wife, Lisa (McKenzie) Racette; his son Andrew Racette; his Fiancé, Heather Holloway; his daughter Katie Morris; her husband, Andrew Morris. Christina Utzler, her husband Travis, Bobby Jo Racette, and granddaughter Selena Racette, whom he raised as his own. His grandchildren, Catherine, Aiden, Nevaeh, Landon, Emma, Ariana, and his little buddy Oliver. Also surviving are his sisters, Linda Racette and Judy McKenzie, and brother-in-law Steve McKenzie. He considered his family as well as many other in-laws, cousins, and friends.
At Michael’s request, there will be no services.
