Michael Haight

Michael Orwin Haight was born on January 7, 1980 in Seattle, Washington to Robin and Brenda Haight....

Michael lived a life of service. Whether it was serving in the church or in the community, he was willing to help with whatever was needed.

Michael owned and operated a successful insurance agency receiving many awards and honors for his achievements. Many of his clients loved and appreciated the care and attention he gave to them. He recently sold his business to allow more flexibility to spend time with his family.

Yeah, that Michael Haight.

A 42-year-old Utah man gunned down seven family members, including his five children between ages 4 and 17, then turned the gun on himself — two weeks after his wife had filed for divorce, authorities said.

Officials in Enoch City on Thursday identified the suspected gunman in the murder-suicide as 42-year-old Michael Haight, and the victims as his wife, Tausha Haight, 40, their three daughters, ages 17, 12 and 7, and two sons, ages 7 and 4.

Also killed was Tausha Haight’s mother, 78-year-old Gail Earl, according to a press release from the Enoch City government. Each of the victims appeared to have gunshot wounds.

Court records showed wife Tausha had filed for divorce from Michael on Dec. 21, but it was not immediately known why she had sought to end their marriage.

Yes. I really enjoyed the miniseries.

Someone commented that it was a "Very Mormon obituary."

I had Krakauer’s book in mind.

Was not aware it was made into a mini-series.
