From the minute I met you, I knew what a kind, generous, thoughtful and caring person you are. You are truly one of a kind and will be missed very much. I hope you and Curtains are playing fetch up there and never forget how much you are missed and loved buddy! You always will have a special place in my heart. My condolences go out to all of those who had the fortunate opportunity to be part of Michael's life.

Mike, you were an absolutely terrific stepson. Loved you from the very start of me joining the family; you were always endearing & thoughtful towards me. I remember well our first meeting & I thinking 'what a wonderful young man.' I will miss you with all my heart.

I met Mike when he was mowing my cousins lawn,
he was just a teenager then. As the years went by we became real good friends. We fished
and pounded nails together. Breakfast together was always lots of fun and laughs.
we would share each others problems. My wife
and I enjoyed Mike's visits. We pray for Mike
and for his loving family for their loss.
Goodbye My Friend. We will miss you.

Michael
Our paths crossed and you reached out
I reached back and the dance began
You withdrew and reached out again
I reached back, the dance went on
Back and forth, forth and back
...glimmers of hope stolen
You danced with many
each one trying in their own way
Each one wondering
each one now knowing
You were loved by many
you would have loved you too
Now your dance is over and my heart is sad
Rest in Peace my freind

He'll will always be one of the most important people I met in this 10 year period. To me, Michael was a straight-talker who cared deeply for those in his life; I could talk to him about any subject. He could build or repair anything and had an infectious smile/laugh. He knew me well and I'd like to think I knew him too. I'll miss his sincere interest in me and what was going on in my life. Not many friends go that deep. Everyone is saying, he was the nicest guy (and I'd like to echo that), and add how humble and honorable he was. My deepest sympathies to all his family and friends.
