Mike Heck

Michael "Mike" Heck, Jr. is Frankie Heck's husband, and the father of Axl, Sue, and Brick Heck. He is the manager of a quarry in Orson, Indiana, where he resides, and is known for his straight-forward, practical attitude, as well as his tendency to be a social recluse. His inability to process his emotions is made into key plots points several times. However, his rather dull and bland personality merely acts as a shell to cover his true, fun-loving, soft-hearted side.

Mike plays Axl again in basketball, and loses again.
