As a childhood friend (elem - HS), of Mike's, one of the thing that stands out most to me was his creative side. In one of our English classes, we all had to draw a picture about an aspect of the story we were reading as a class. While mine and most other kids attempted elaborate sketchings, Mike's was a single apple core. Simple, yet brilliant! It was sad to learn of his struggles with ALS, but immensely impressive to know of his accomplishments and that he touched so...

Jana, Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family during this very difficult time. You are an amazing person and we have an AWESOME GOD. Rely on his strength. Much Love

My words will fail to describe the outstanding person Mike was. Mike and Jana, optimists and gentle souls by nature, made Raleigh feel like my truest home. They will always be my neighbors, even though I now live thousands of miles away.
Mike was one of the wittiest, sweetest and most generous people I have ever known. Handsome and hilarious, he was like the Robert Redford of Raleigh (but with a much better smile.)
Thanks, my dear Mike, for showing me how to kayak, for mowing my lawn,...

To Michael's family... I am so sorry to just learn about Mike's illness and passing. Mike and I were great friends in middle and high school, growing up in Jacksonville, Tx. We enjoyed hunting together and mostly being outdoors doing "what teens did while growing up." I specifically remember Mike being funny, creative, brave and very much a leader. As I read all these wonderful memories of Mike shared through his countless friends, I realize how much he accomplished during his life and how...

Dear Saundra, Ernestine, and,Jana,
What a tremendous loss. We know that Michael was a good and caring person. Saundra was a friend of mine in high school and is still a friend. Ernestine knew my Mother, Inez Shields. Saundra has said so many, many nice things about you, Jana. Our love goes out to you all and your family.

Michael - Meaning; Who is like God. He most certainly will have the oppurtunity to be just that, like God. I know the light was bright and doors opened wide for Michael. The love from and for Michael will certainly sustain you in the days ahead. I pray that God's peace and love surround and envelope all of you and fill you with His strength. And I will keep you in my prayers.

We know that Michael is faring well in his new home. He's part of the heavenly hosts now and able to do even more for his loved ones than he ever was able to do while on the earth.
We could be a little jealous that Michael now knows so many of God's truths that are hidden from human minds. He deserves to know them all.
Bless you, Michael, that you are so glorified and happy and joyful.
We only know Michael through his mom. We're not surprised that he brought joy and...

Saundra, Jana, Shane and Sarah, Our deepest sympathy is with each of you as you grieve Michael's death. Though we only know personally, Saundra, we know each of you through her. We love her dearly and know that you are special because of her love for you. Each of you are in our prayers. May God's peace surround you as you learn to continue living as Michael would have wanted.

Jana, I am so sorry for your loss. Please know that you will be in my prayers.
