Memories and Condolences
for Michael Huntley

Not sure what to say?





As this might sound crazy . But I been having dreams about you lately. Maybe your trying to communicate with me. I will always remember our car rides. Going swimming at your aunt's and uncles. Going to the drive in movies with your family. Our hugs and talks. You were always there for me when I felt alone. You will always be missed. Until we meet again

Michael Ray I struggle day-to-day with your tragic death. Words cannot describe my feelings. You we're the closest sibling to me from the time you entered this world & the time you left. I would come home just to feed you your bottle. I took you everywhere with me. I miss your daily phone calls. I just miss you all together! I wish you could have lived a fuller life, but you're with God & the angels living a beautiful life now. Its just hard for Aunt Tina to accept that. I will be with you again one day & it will be just like old times, but even better because we will be in heaven together. I am trying to be strong, but its hard. I love you so much & miss you more than ever. RIP my sweet angel. Xoxoxo

Lil Mike, It's been a year now since you left this world. I think about you everyday. I miss you so much and love you more than words can describe. I always play all the songs we used to bump to in the Cavy and the Jimmy. God, those were the days! I miss sitting up in your room at grandmas and watching movies and playing games and being on the internet. Ill never forget the night we watched The Notebook and we were both sitting there crying. And I miss our little fights and your middle of the night calls. You were truly my bestfriend and my little brother. You will always be in my heart, forever, until we meet again!! RIP bub<3

It's been a year ago now & still feels like yesterday you went away from me.
The pain I have from missin you, loving you, & from losing you has not faded one bit since this time has passed. Not a single day passes that I dont think of you, where you are, what your doing or if your okay.... I talk to you constantly, wondering if you can hear me, if you'll respond... I want you to know I love you so much Michael, I will always love you so much & miss you very bad... My life will never be the same without you & everyday I will continue to mourn you, till it is my time. Although you may have went before me, I know I'm not long after... till then babe boy... I believe I will see you again & that you are waiting for me... I will see you again... I love you Michael, be good, say your prayers & look over me & my family while your up there, while you can...watch over us & pray, that we should find each other again.... Love you, aunt Lil

Hi Michael Ray! I should have done this awhile ago, but I have been sending you messages on facebook. Words cannot describe how much I miss you. You were in my life for 22 years and I cared for you like a little brother and a son. I will never forget our times together. I will see you again one day and we can give hugs and kisses....You are on my mind day and night. I love you Michael Ray!

Mike.. Everyday I think about you. Everyday I wish I could wake up and this all be just a dream. But the reality is that it's not, and it's hard to realize this. You were way to young to leave this world. You were one of the kindest people I have known and would help anyone if you could. You'd take your shirt right off your back to keep someone warm if you had too. I want you to know that I love you very much and I will always cherish all the times we had together. I miss you bub and you will never be forgotten. Jen, Mike, Bradley, Grandma and Grandpa, I feel so deeply for you and I know that words are hard to express how you feel right now, but know that Lil Mike will forever watch over you. If you need anything just let me know...

Michael, I only really knew you as a little boy, but you were so sweet and funny and always made me smile. I can tell by all the people who have written in this guest book that you were still that sweet funny boy and love so much by everyone around you. I wish I could have known you as the young man you were and that I would have stayed in better touch with your family.. I love you all and know that with Michael watching over you that you will all get through this. You are a good and close family and I know you will all be there for each other. Love and prayers to you.

Mike the day that I heard of your passing will forever be a day that a substantial part of my life was taken away because I have known you basically all my life. It seems so unreal that it was you man.... it breaks my freaking heart not to be able to see you smile or laugh hell to even play video games together. You was always there when I needed you and I was there for you too. And I feel horrible that I moved away and couldn't be there for you. I am also really sorry that I couldn't be there for any of your services because I didn't have a ride, but i swear when i come in town for the holidays i will pay my respects bro. I remember riding bikes with you and staying the night at your house playing video games all night and just having fun and i will always remember that. I love you mike and you will be missed by me for ever.

You are missed. You are loved- deeply. You will never be forgotten and will be carried with us for all of eternity.
Shine bright upon us Michael and watch over us and keep us, for we are nothing without our families and in the end that is all that matters, that is all that can be carried with us- our love for each other.
You have been a blessing in our lives and we are fortunate to of had you in our family. Now we are blessed by having you as our gaurdian angel. What an angel you will be....

Lil Mike, you are the first nephew I ever had and you grew up right along-side us in Grandma & Grandpa Hall's house. You are treated, loved, and seen as the same as the rest of us in our house. Words cannot express the love I have for you and what you really mean to me. I only wish you could hear my voice when I tell you this rather than having to read it in a book. You are a great person with a heart of gold. I only wish I could of been more like you growing up. I cannot accept the fact that your gone, but I look to the day I will see you again. I pray to God I make it to be with you again, I miss you so much Michael and I love you so much. My heart bleeds for you and I will never be the same without you here. God bless your soul and I pray you are at peace. I know Grandma Hall is with you and there is noone better to have watching out for you than her. I will carry you with me- in my thoughts, prayers, and in my heart for the rest of my days here on earth. On that day I get to see your face once more, my spirit will be at peace and heart will bleed no more. Make room for your aunty, cause I am on my way- for sure. I love you Michael Ray, praise God- you made it to the place we all struggle to get too. Watch over us left behind and pray for us that we make it there with you. I love you babe-boy. I miss you & I love you...
{A message from your cousins- Kaila Ricole Jude-Hall, Gaige Ayden Michael Hall, Versi Mae Sperry, Charles Roscoe Sperry & Taylor Sue Sperry} We love you lil Mike, we miss you and we will keep you in our hearts all the days of our lives. God bless you Michael Ray...
