Michael Fred Outhouse

Michael

"Never was there a man who balanced a tender compassion for all, whether two or four legged, who was in awe, tended to, and admired all that Mother Nature provided, and deeply appreciated the nuances of a quiet, but compelling conversation. He is a man for all ages and was a man of all eras... he was the very definition of the word 'gentle man'."

Mike Outhouse was born in Los Angeles on 6 June, 1947 to parents Fred and Margie Outhouse. He passed away on 1 Nov, 2016 at the age of 69. Mike was raised in SoCal and spent time camping with his parents and growing up with his siblings Sheila Bass, Dick Outhouse and Sharon Klukas. He attended college at Cal State Northridge where he graduated in 1969 with a Bachelor's Degree. Mike met his bride Maggie Byrne at age 28. They lived together in Sierra Madre, CA where they celebrated 39 years of marriage at the time of his passing. He worked for LA County as a probation officer and the California Department of Corrections as a Parole Agent Supervisor for 33 years. After retirement in 1999, he volunteered at the Pasadena Humane Society where he developed his passion for working with difficult to adopt dogs. In 2011, he was recognized as Volunteer of the Year by the Pasadena Humane Society & SCPCA Board of Directors, an honor he cherished. Mike had a lifelong love of the outdoors, including scuba diving, biking the California coast, hiking and camping in the Sierras…. and always, always his dogs and Maggie.
