I only knew Michael for a short period of time. His love of life and family made his presence in my life a true blessing. Thank you Michael for the laughs and those special moments that only can be felt by the heart. I will miss you.

Our deepest sympathy to Mrs. Peck and the families. Our family grew up neighbors with yours for many years in Barton and were always outside playing, having cookouts and parties. The good old days. Thinking of you all at this time.

My sincere condolences to the family and friends for their loss. During this difficult time may you take some comfort from the words found at James 1:13

I was lucky to have known this brave man. My prayers are with his family. Rest well Warrior
