Not sure what to say?

My thoughts and prayers are with family . I did bowling with Michael in my younger days

“I’ll always remember how Michael loved asking for yesterday’s sports scores. Especially da Bears! It showed his passion and curiosity, and it always brought a smile to my face. His enthusiasm made every conversation special. Rest in peace—MP you’ll be missed.”

Mike was a big part of my childhood as we grew up on the same block in Oak Lawn on Tripp. Since I live in the same house I grew up in I live with the memories of Mike everyday in the neighborhood. He would do his daily walk down our block & would always stop & say hi. Whenever I would hang out with Diane & Karen at the house, I would always make time to spend time with Mike. When I got married, Mike became Jim's buddy. Whenever we all would be together both Mike & Jim would gang up on me &...

Truly sorry for the loss of Michael. He truly was loved and blessed to have such a loving , caring family. Sending our love ❤

Memories go back in time when as a cousin, we baby sat cousins. What a loving family, and Michael was always such a loving person. He had the best hugs. It is a beautiful memory to share with all of those we miss back home. Our love to all. God Bless.

Missing your smile. Love you Mike

Sorry to here about his passing. Mike was a special person. May he rest in peace.

Rest in peace brother. You will be missed ♥
