Mike Heslin’s Parents Lost Their Two Kids
Mike Heslin, the son of John and Geriann, was born in California in 1994. His parents named him Michael, and he grew up alongside his siblings Timothy, Andrew, and Anna.

Moreover, Mike was about to start a family of his own with Scotty Dynamo, real name Nicolas James Wilson. They married in November 2023.
Just a week ago, we were in the early stages of starting a family and would regularly share our favorite baby names for our future kids. You always told me that you felt like you were meant to be a dad, and I couldn’t agree more. You would be the world’s most perfect father. If I ever become a dad, I am going to name my son after you and hope that I manage to raise him to become at least half the man you are.
Scotty Dynamo expressed via Instagram.
Mike was the first person his friends and family would call when they had wonderful news to share, needed a shoulder to cry on, or needed the most excellent advice.
He shared a close bond with his family and grew up in a loving environment.
Mike is survived by his parents, siblings, husband, and close friends. He turned everyone around him into a better version of themselves.
