About Michael

Updated: Feb 8, 2024




Michael was born October 6, 1998 in Des Moines, IA to parents, Kevin and Anne Henter, and older sister, Jessi Henter. Michael graduated from Waukee High School in 2017, and then the University of Northern Iowa in 2021 with degrees in finance and real estate. Soon after, Michael found his passion in commercial real estate at CBRE. After a few months on his own, he was asked to join a real estate team. This was a huge accomplishment, and he thoroughly enjoyed his work. 


In his free time, Michael loved playing basketball, watching movies, fishing, hunting, playing cards, bowling, and attending youth group, but more than anything, Michael loved playing golf. Michael was a member at Des Moines Golf and Country Club and during the summers, you could find him on the course nearly every night. That was until 2022, when he met the love of his life, Claire Forret. Michael and Claire embodied true love and were destined to be married in the coming years.


It’s difficult to express the profound impact Michael had on so many. He could capture an audience with his smile and bring joy with his contagious laugh. He had a remarkable ability to connect with people of any age or background. He inspired us to love hard, laugh harder, and never take life too seriously. Michael was 24 years old when he passed away.
