I decided to come by here once more, as Michael was in my thoughts recently again. I was thinking more about how he may have influenced me personally in even more respects than I even felt before as I look back and see some changes with me that bring more than originally thought in to perspective with me. I still find him to have been amazing and in some ways, I feel that he's still with me in some way beyond just memories at times. Whatever the case, I 'will' see him again, I know. We always find our ways back to meet again.

I am truly devastated by finding this today. I lost touch with him when I moved to Portland in November of 2010. I met Michael in 1989 and enjoyed his friendship for many decades. You smile could light up a room and your laugh was a wonderful sound to hear. Rest in Peace, I will miss you forever. I am so sad I was unable to say goodbye to you. Love and light to you always.

One of the best persons I ever knew. I had my own problems at my time of meeting him, so I wasn't exactly a great person to him. He was like a dad to me though and taught me some things because I didn't really have a father growing up. I came back and visited him one last time just before this happened though and I wasn't even thinking he'd be passing so soon. I've outgrown a number of my problems now, but I wish I could have then. He did send me on a better mindset though and I will always be greatfull. Uploaded picture I got from this site because the site can't connect to the one it used to have....

I worked with Michael in 1990-91 at the Rosehedge in Seattle. He was extremely witty and made a very demanding job easier. He and Rob came to my wedding, he was a heck of a guy and I am sorry to see that he has passed from this world to the next.

Michael was amazing. I loved him so much and I wish he was still alive. Please have a great time in the spirit world and have no pain anywhere, just fly as free as a bird. Let all the suffering leave your body and be free to live a life different than you lived before. I love you!!!!! Coral Sky
