Mike Busse, a lifelong resident of Prior Lake, MN, passed away at the age of 54 on October 19, 2018.
A visitation will be held Monday, October 22, from 4-7 PM at Ballard-Sunder Funeral Home, 4565 Pleasant Street SE, Prior Lake. A Celebration of Life Service will be held Tuesday, October 23, at 11 AM, with a visitation from 10-10:45 am, both at St. Paul’s Lutheran Church, 5634 Luther Road SE, Prior Lake. Pastor Mark Neumann will preside. Mike will be laid to rest at St. Paul’s Lutheran Cemetery.
On November 29, 1963 in Shakopee, MN, parents Bill and Carol (Trom) Busse celebrated the birth of their son, Michael William Busse. He was the youngest of three children. As a child, Mike was adventurous especially if a dirt bike or snowmobile was involved. He believed “the faster, the better!” Mike’s interest of wrenching on anything with a motor continued well into his adult years.
Growing up on the family farm, Mike developed a strong work ethic. Working alongside his family, Mike assisted at the farm and Busse Bus Company. In the early 1990’s, Mike took his experience of wrenching and driving various vehicles in his career and went out on his own. Mike Busse Trucking was formed and still is in business.
Following in his father’s footsteps, Mike has always loved the outdoors of hunting and fishing. He passed this love onto his children, Bill and Kristine. As a family, they too enjoyed four-wheeling, snowmobiling and the love for playing in the dirt, while in the garden. Mike’s greatest passion was family! He was always there to lend a helping hand, especially since the passing of his father in 2014.
Mike was a simple man. He was NASCAR driver, Dale Earnhardt’s number one fan. Mike was meticulous, loved to wear flannel and maybe a bit of a redneck!
Forever loved, Mike will be missed by son, Bill Busse; daughter, Kristine (Brandon) Puteraugh and their mother, Elizabeth Vaughan; daughter, Angel Spooner: mother, Carol Busse; siblings, Randy (Mary) Busse, Patti (Terry) Quinnell; nieces and nephews, Jason (Chris) Theis, Chris (Stacie) Theis, Matt Quinnell, Kelsey (Austin) Vig, Allison Quinnell; many great-nieces and nephews; relatives and friends.
There to greet Mike home in heaven is his father, William “Bill” Busse and grandparents.

Sorry to hear about Mike’s passing. Praying for you all during this difficult time. I got to known Mike when he drove for Prairie Line Transportation, for a short time.
Very sorry to hear of Mike’s passing, he was way too young. Lot’s of great memories of a super nice guy back in our school days. My sincerest sympathies and prayers to the family.
We are so saddened to hear about Mike’s passing. I first met Mike in the early 90’s snowmobiling and he offered to tweak my clutch to make it better perform. Most recently, Mike would stop by our house as we now live near their farm. We offer our condolences to the Busse family and friends.
So sad to hear about Mike’s passing. He was a great childhood friend of mine.
My first motorcycle ride at 100mph was on Cty Rd 23 with Mike when I was 15 years old. For some reason I didn’t have a helmet on. My hair was tangled for a week after that. I’m just glad I survived…
I remember shopping with Mike for his black leather vest. He had to have what my brother, Dean, had…
I remember Carol’s homemade apple pies. And Bill as a bus driver. Both Bill & Carol were so loving and kind to us Hermann kids.
I hope you don’t tease any of the dogs in heaven, Mike. The teasing you did to my dog was enough for a lifetime.
Love to all of Mike’s family… ❤️
So sorry for your loss.
