Michael always looked for the best in circumstances; he searched for the silver lining to discover opportunities in challenges. A smile and a laugh always came easily. He completed his mission in life by making us all better for having known him. Another light is shining from heaven. Till we meet again Mike...

I am at a loss. There are no words to describe the sadness we all feel because of Mike's passing. He was truly a one of a kind man that will most definitely be missed. I saw him that fateful morning and the last thing he said to me was "see you later". I assumed I would. I wish I knew what to say to make this less painful but there is nothing. Please know that I am here for you all and my thoughts and prayers are with you during this very sad time.

Mike was an amazing guy who always worked hard and still had the energy and time to care about others. He was a regular customer of mine at Mcdonalds for nearly 5 years and although I only way him for a couple minutes a day he would always ask what was going on with me and the other employees. He was so kind hearted and hard working but always had a smile on his face and wanted to put one on yours too. Prayers and condolences the Carrier family, an amazing man taken too soon ❤
