Mike was a special friend and good worker. Help me on several projects over the years and I am thankful that I knew him. I just heard about his passing today and am sadden by the news. May God bless his works and family and his loss of life at so young of age. He was a true sincere person who had his faults but his good works will be remembered.

Dear Mike,
This was one of your favorite holidays. You loved making turkeys and giving them away to a deserving family. Drove me crazy but also one of the things I loved about you...as did so many things you are known for. Having said that you gave me the best gift of all, two fantastic boys who have grown into great young men. You would be very proud. Although we were parted we will always be joined. I loved you too. Cindy

Your positive spirit, and sincere concern for others will be painfully missed by everyone. As for me I have lost a valued friend. You taught me about me, you so much inspired me, and encouraged me. So very thankful we had the oppotunity to exsperience each other. You will always come to mind, and keep a place in my heart. I find comfort in knowing your love for Christ Jesus. May God rest your soul.
