Michael was born on May 25, 1981 in Buffalo, the son of Edward and Joyce (Hilliker) Boedo. A Silver Creek resident most of his life, he was a graduate of Silver Creek Central School, Class of 1999. After high school, he attended Jamestown Business College, then he went to work at Aunt Millie's for a number of years.

He loved collecting antiques and his beloved dog "Jackson." Michael was an integral part of the Festival of Grapes in Silver Creek; he chaired the dessert contest and the wine tasting and was a former board member.
