Mike has always been a wonderful friend and like a big brother. We appreciated his sensitivity, wisdom, hugs and caring ways.
Michael chose to ignore his physical disability, to see no limitations and to succeed at the highest level.
We happily picture Michael gleefully running in heaven now, without any restraints.

Mike has always loved my husband like a son, and he and Sherry have been a second set of parents for us. He has always thought I'm so much better than I am.
We will miss the puzzles and great times hanging out with him for a little while. By God's mercy we will see him again soon.
One thing among many I will remember Mike saying: "The most important thing in life is to love and to be loved." He lives that.

Mike was truly a great man and a great friend. His smile lit up a room, and his hugs filled you from the inside out. We spent hours and hours talking about anything and everything, and my life is richer from having known him. Thank you for sharing him with us all, Sherry, Heidi, and Bonnie. I'll see you again someday, my friend. Dance with Jesus.

He was Intelligent, Humerous, and strong in his faith. Everybody loved him and looked forward to his wisdom and Bear Hugs... My Mom used to call him (Bear in a Chair) because being hugged by this man was almost like being hugged by God himself... he carried with him Authority, Respect, Gentleness & Peace, His love was truly unconditional!!! I am so Thankful & blessed just to have known him:)

When Mike left this world we lost a shining light, a living example of what Christ can do and does in the hearts of his believers. There is no one like Mike and can never be again. Those who had the blessing of knowing him are forever changed. I will always remember his wisdom, his love and his wit. I look forward to seeing him again one day, complete and whole, shining with the glory of our savior. It is not good-bye but until later...
We love you Mike forever and always.

My friend and my brother. we have been through so much you me and Sherry. from ripping a house apart to putting it back together and all the stuff in between. I have never felt less than a member of the family . the the three main lessons you have helped me to achieve are trust in the Lord because he knows you better than you know yourself. love because it will never return void, and forgiveness it might not mend a broken relationship but it will mend your broken heart. Hope to see you again someday!
