Esley M. "Mike" Higginbotham III

Annette,
I'm so sorry to hear about the loss of your dad.I remember him being the nicest man. It seems so long ago...our days of being kids and living in northwest Reno. I remember the trapoline,Campfire girls and sleepovers. My thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time.

I am so upset to know that Mike is gone. But I take solace in knowing that he is in Heaven. He was so good to me. He was my boss and my friend. I hope he knew how much I cared about him. He will always have a special place in heart and I will miss him dearly. Love you, Boss!!

dearest Scott and family my prayers are with all of you I have such fond memories of all of as kids camping and being at Shakeys please know I am thinking of you. Love Robbie Kellogg Jennings

Dear Annette,

I was so sorry for the loss of your Dad. I knew Mike from high school, of course, he was a lot older than me, but he was very smart and a lot of fun. I am sure you have some great memories in your heart that will last you forever. Keep them close to your heart always.

Love you
Patsy Hicks Burton

During this time of mourning, I would like to express my sincere condolence at the loss of your loved one. May you find comfort in persistent prayers, as “the peace of God that excels all thought will guard your heart and your mental powers.” [Phil. 4:7] I certainly hope that the help God can give at this time will make a difference.

In times of loss and sadness, we must find comfort in the knowledge that our loved one is with our Lord and Savior and has finally found peace. It is a time to rejoice for the one that we love and mourn for our loss. We must have faith in the Lord, for he will heal our pain and comfort us through this trying time. Let us remember the good times and wonderful memories of this extraordinary man. My prayers go out to all of Mike's family and friends. God Bless.

This is a time for friends and family to come together as one and reflect on the great times and memories you shared together in Mikes life, my prayers are with the family and friends.

So sorry for your loss, my prayers are with the family and friends through this healing process.

My thoughts and prayers are with Mikes family. Mike & Shakeys were one of a kind, an icon that will live on in conversations. By far it was the best and most fun job I ever had, "never a dull moment" I use to say to him. These memories will keep him and Shakeys around for a long time, putting a grin on most faces. May God give you the strength and keep you safe.
