I´m so sorry for your family´s loss. I´m thinking of you all. The Cleaves family was my second family growing up and it was a blessing to have Zach enter our lives later on. I took this picture in 1977 while on an RV trip with Laura and the first Laura Cleaves, my best friend, and her family. Sending my thoughts and prayers to you all during this difficult time.

Mike was an amazing man. Loved fiercely and smiled all the time. Best brother in law you could ask for. Always willing to lend a hand to those in need. He was a good father, a loving husband and a true friend. Intelligent and funny. Thinking of my sister, his wife and his children at this time. May God Bless his soul and his memory be Eternal.
