My condolence to Michael's family. Michael and I graduated from Belen Highschool 69. Michael was a good friend during our many years in school. His good friend Eloy Chavez was in Barstow in January and we spent time together reminiscing hanging out with Michael.
God Bless you all.

As a new comer to Belen many years ago, we met Mike &
Corie who offered their support and friendship to us as a
fellow business owner. Mike was a loyal friend over the years
and I will miss him as will many others. My prayers will
include all his family. Dee Patterson

Mike was so dedicated at his business that he served his community by going above and beyond, he really helped us with our vehicles and went out of his way to do so. This world needs more people like him! Corie and Levi and all the family we pray for Jesus healing grace upon you. Heaven has another angel!
