Mike came with me to see my dad in his last few days on earth. He made sure which way my dads elevator was going. He also performed his service when he died. My family will always love you for that Mike, my longtime musician bud since 77'.... Thank you for sharing Jesus with all of us....and enjoy the biggest kick drum you have ever had! Love you bro!

We're missing you, brother Mike. We know we will see you again one day when we join you in Heaven. We'll have a big feast with Jesus, our Lord and Savior. You were always encouraging others in their faith, while you battled cancer for so many years. What a great witness you have been to all of us, sharing the love of Jesus Christ and the gospel message of salvation available only through Jesus! We are blessed to have known and loved you, Mike. We'll keep your family in our prayers. Your memory will remain in our hearts. We will we meet again soon brother!

My sincere condolences for your family and loved ones.

Mike has been a close friend since high school. He led me to the LORD many years ago and would always encourage me to go to Church and Bible Study. With Mike being such a big part of my Christian life, Debbie and I got remarried at his house in a very small but Spirit filled event. Mike was always there to provide spiritual guidance and prayerfull advice. I felt very honored when he would call me for prayer or guidance as well. Sharing the Word of God was such a big passion for Mike that the Lord called him up to play in His 80's Rock-N-Roll Praise Band. Words can't express the sadness and loss our family is feeling. Mike will live on through our hearts and memories.

Mike you will always be a true inspiration to us.

Love, the Vigil Family

Mike--you were the one who pointed me in the direction to a realtionship to Jesus Christ, and for that, I am more grateful then words could ever say. The bible studies that you led made an impact on my life as well as so many others. I KNOW that you are in heaven with the Lord and out of pain and that is the only thing that will bring me and so many others comfort as we truly miss the man, musician, comedian, friend and one who had all the answers...just ask you..lol. Wish I would have seen you more in the last few years, but I will see you in Heaven!
Love you Mike!

I've had the pleasure of knowing Mike since high school so you can imagine all the memories I have, from the smallest to the biggest things. Mike and Dave actually let my husband and myself get remarried in their back yard almost 12 years ago. i felt more close to the lord that night then if we were standing in a church and alot of that had to do with Mike. He was such a spiritual leader for my husband and I. I will deeply miss Mike, he meant more to me than he knew. I'm happy hes out of pain and playing the big drums in the sky for our lord.
I'll see you there one day Mike.
I love you.
