It is always sad to lose a young person but esspecially one as unique and as special as this young man. I had the honor of meeting Michael and his family when I moved into his neighborhood. He was one of the first to welcome me! He was 10 yrs old! He was forever "Mikie" to me from that day on. His mom, Stella, was one of the sweetest women I ever met. Always pleasant and so very proud of her son, "Michael." His dad was a kind man who would help anyone, always a good neighbor. I watched Mikie grow up to reflect the many fine qualities passed on to him by his parents. His daughter had a wonderful father, who she will surely miss. Hopefully, those close to her will share stories of her Dad with her the rest of her life. MICHAEL will be a part of my heart for the rest of mine.
How you can show support

Thank you Mike! For knowing that life is more valuable then individual objects. For helping me through
The most difdifficult time of my life. There is no other person who could have helped me through the passing of my father then you. You have inspired me to love, care and live more that I have ever known. I hope
That others feel ther power of your presence. Missing your fore ever!

Everyone will miss you so much Mike. Today was a mix of emotions as we all joined to say goodbye. We talked about our memories, we laughed and we cried. Yet my heart was warmed to see how so many loved you.

I wont forget all the times you tried to help me through my young adulthood problems. You always had good practical advice for me when I was all bugged out working at CC. You even helped me out with my golf game and that nasty slice I battled with for so long. We lost touch but it was nice to catch up with you recently. You will most certainly be missed by many Mike. Sorry to see you go so soon.

Be Still
Be still like the grass on a melancholy summer day
Be still like desert shrub.
Be calm and you will hear your loved one speak, in the stillness, in the calm, their love resounds.
If you are still this promise I make, you will hear the voice of your loved one helping you along your way.

Mike ,
I'll never forget coming in as teenager always trying to get a free hat from you at hatworld . Then there was the times I would do something off the wall and you would smile and shake tour head and tell chuck how crazy " his little brother" was. You always had a smile and a laugh and always one of the most genuine people I knew. Thanks for the memories buddy! Rest in peace!

Mike,
Too young.. Too soon. I'm so glad I met you a few years ago and I am proud to call you a friend. You were a very unique individual. I never heard you complain about things you didn't have, or complain about people , say bad things.. You were always such a positive person. When you became a father the smile on your face when we shared baby stories was priceless. Such a proud parent. Every Thursday when I came to bowling with Dan I always looked forward to hearing what Scarlet's newest word was.. Or what her newest milestone was. We shared photos of our kids , stories , and shared alot of good laughs. I will always think of you on Thursday's when Dan and me go to league. I do have to say .. Sorry about that "300" game you never got ..remember you had like 10 or 11 strikes and I made a comment to you and said how many 300's have you had .. And then you didn't strike. I felt so quilty ! But we both laughed. And everytime after that you had a game and would have the front how ever many ... We would just look and laugh at each other. You will always be remembered and loved by so many of us. I know Dan will really miss not only a bowling teammate .. And a "help me with my phone acct" Verizon rep, but most of all will miss a great friend, pal , and one of a kind guy. Dan and I shed many tears last night .. But we smile today knowing you are at peace, you are re joined with your family , and most of all we smile knowing we were blessed to have known you. May you rest in peace and look over your beautiful baby girl always. God bless your soul Mike..we love ya dude .
