Barb, Bill and the entire Bales Family,
I do not have the words to express to you my sorrow when I learned of Mike's passing. It was a delight to live down the street from you all those years and I was so happy when I learned Mike had become an officer. God Bless him and may God look after all of you as you make your way through your grief.

Do you know how challenging it would be for most police officers to be in the midst of hundreds of teenagers every day? Officer Bales took on this assignment and always kept his head about him. The students loved and respected him (we have all witnessed this). And Kirkwood parents were always a little more at ease knowing Mike was in our kids' corner. What a remarkable man! May he rest in peace and may light perpetual shine upon him.
How you can show support

Mike used to speak for our Health classes. The students loved him. He was funny, smart and knew how to connect with students and adults. I'm grateful I had the opportunity to know him.

Thank you Officer Bales for your guidance with the students of Kirkwood. Many students were affected by your casual conversations with each one. There is no doubt your presence in their high school days did and will help them with making positive choices in their lives.

Mike was a wonderful man and fantastic colleague. He taught me how to stay calm and make good decisions in panic situations. He was great with the kids but even better with teachers and administrators! He will be missed. Peace to Terri and his family.

When Mike entered the room, you could feel the energy increase. He was so full of life and joy with a twist of hilarious wit. What an incredible person.
