I was with mike for 8 years and knew him for over 9. We shared alot of laughs, tears and memories. He gave me the most precious gift in this world, our son Michael Jr. He will be missed by us but will live in our hearts and through his children always. Michael Jr will miss him dearly but I believe he is in good hands now and will live on with peace and contentment. Deepest condolences to his family.

I was with mike for 8 years and knew him for over 9. We shared lots of memories together that i will never forget. He gave me the best gift in this world and that is our son michael. Mike knew how to win someones heart from the moment you spoke to him. He was funny, kind, caring and most of all a great father. He adored his children. Its a shame he had to leave us so soon but he is in a better place now with peace and contentment. He will live in the hearts of his children and his family and he will never be forgotten. Condolences to his family.
