Our love and prayers to all the family of Michael. It doesn't seem possible that this handsome young man is the same Michael on Club View Dr. I can almost hear his high pitched voice now. He was spirited and full of life then and still is. His passing is but a separation for now. May that knowledge bring you peace and comfort. Love, The Colvin's

What wonderful memories I have with Mike in High School. Though, it's been a while since we last spoke, it's wonderful to see that the boy I knew in HS, turned into an Exemplary Man and Father.

So many years have passed.
I did not have the pleasure of being a part of your adult life. It seems that you have done well
And to expect nothing less you fought a courageous battle young man.
My days and memories are those of high school FFA.
What a special bond between all of the Kern Chapter no matter which school attended. Of course the rivalry ... And all the fun that came with it.
Loved you to pieces and so saddened to hear of your passing. God has a special place for you Mike
Love and condolences to those left behind. Special prayers for your Family.

God looked around His garden
And He found an empty place
He then looked down upon the earth
And saw your precious face
He put His arms around you
And lifted you to rest;
God' s Garden must be beautiful
He always takes the best.
He knew that you were suffering
He knew you were in pain
He knew you' d never ever
Get well on earth again.
So He closed your weary eyelids
And whispered " Peace be thine "
Then He took you up to Heaven
With Hands so gentle and kind.
It broke our hearts to lose you
But you did not go alone,
For part of us went with you
The day God welcomed you home.

I served with Mike as an officer in the FFA. He was a great guy with such a personality. Mike brought life to the officer team, along with many laughs. I lost track of Mike after high school. Its very unfortunate to find out about his struggle. My prayers go out to his family for their loss of such a great man.
