Although I haven't seen Mike for a long time, there has always been a special place in my heart for him. Memories of growing up together, Mike & Pat, Doug & I, our parents, are still clear and dear to me. He will be missed, but the memories will live forever. Love to you all,

There is an empty place in Plateau Valley now; everyone will miss Mike and although we have not been there for many years we will miss him and send our love and prayers to Kim, Aaron, Meg and sons.

Kim, Aaron and family, you are in my thoughts and am saddened by your loss. I remember many times riding with Les and Mike on the mountain gathering cattle. Will cherish those memories always. Love and blessing to all of you.

I am so sorry for your loss! I absolutely adored Mike from the time I was a little girl playing the "wanna dance" game with him! I'm so glad I got to see him and have him meet my girls recently. Love you Kim and Aaron.
