Michael Thomas Brault, 56, of Crookston, MN, died peacefully at the Villa St. Vincent Saturday morning, November 30, 2013, with his family at his side. Mike was born in Crookston on October 22, 1957, and was the son of Clarence and Elaine (Page) Brault. He grew up on the family farm near Gentilly, MN, and was baptized and confirmed at St. Peter's Catholic Church in Gentilly. He attended Crookston schools and graduated from Central High School in 1975. Mike was employed by Skinner Roofing in Grand Forks, ND throughout his working career, and made his home in Grand Forks during those years. He retired due to ill health several years ago and had been a resident of the Villa since March of 2009. Mike was a member of St. Peter's Catholic Church. He enjoyed spending time with his son, Jeremy and family, and looked forward to visits from his nieces and nephews. His favorite pastime, in fact the passion of his life, was riding his Harley.
