Myron Joseph, son of Jack and Leonarda (Noterman) Nagle was born June 14, 1949, in Hayfield, Minnesota. He was baptized and confirmed in the Catholic Faith. Mick received his early education at St. Nicholas Catholic School prior to attending McKinley Jr. High School and graduated from Waterloo East High School in 1967. He served in the United States Army from 1967 during the Vietnam Conflict before being honorably discharged in 1971.
On December 29, 1973, he was united in marriage with Susan Green at Immaculate Conception Catholic Church in Gilbertville. The couple made their home in Evansdale until 1990, when they moved to their home in rural Wadena. Mick worked for over thirty years at John Deere & Co. in Waterloo as a pattern maker. In addition to working at John Deere, he also farmed. He was a long time member of Sacred Heart Catholic Church in Volga, the American Legion in Wadena where he was proud to serve as Commander for a period of time, Pattern Maker Union, and the Patriot Guard Riders.
