We hunted with Mike and Josh for several years up near Longville. Mike was a good man who obviously loved the outdoors, hunting and trout fishing. As we got to know him, we learned he was also especially proud of his children. Our sympathy to all of Mike's family.

To Josh, Jamie, Rebecca, Terri, Terry and all his friends who loved him. My thoughts and prayers are with you in this time of sorrow. Unfortunately I cannot be there for the service. I hope you look back and remember the good times you had with Michael. It's unfortunate our family was not close in a long time, but I know Michael found happiness in Minnesota and relished in his love of the outdoors.

To Mike's family: our prayers are with you during this time. I greatly enjoyed Mike's friendship and he was a special person. I always looked forward to talking with Mike because of his positive attitude and his desire to be the best. Sincerest regards, Chris Haroldson and family.

To
all of Mike's family, we were privileged to have our camper next to
Mike up at Camperville. In fact just 3 weeks ago we sat by the bonfire
with him and Terri. He was a wonderful man who thoroughly enjoyed life
and all it had to offer. He was very proud of his three children and
was extremely proud of his son and how he had served our country. We
were shocked and very saddened to hear of his death. Please know that
you are all in our thoughts and prayers. We will miss him! Bryan and
Jan Vita
