I met Mike and Dede on St Patrick’s night a long time ago and we had so much fun together in the “hood”. Lots of parties, jokes, friendly pranks and tons of music!! I will miss him. Prayers for Dede and the entire family. ❤

I worked with Mike at the NWS in Indianapolis and he was one of my most favorite people to work with! I also got to hang out with him and Dede outside of work, which was always fun. Dede, I'm so sorry for your loss, I will be praying for you as will all of the NWS family.

Remember the smile, remember the joy, remember the love. Michael will be remembered for all this and more. I will mostly remember his beautiful sunrise photos taken on St. Augustine Beach.
With deepest sympathy,
