Michael L. Avery

He is fondly remembered by us for his kind nature and mentorship.

This still just breaks my heart. Fly high Mike.

I knew Mike for many years through the investment business, and, more recently, through his curiosity about Africa. He was a wonderful client and an inspirational person because of his love of learning. He will be missed. My sympathy to Mike's family and loved ones.

There are many young men, including my son, from Troop 354 who owe their achievement of Eagle Scout due to Mike’s dedication, hard work, guidance, and knowledge. Both of us transplants from St. Louis, I have fond remembrances of our many fun times together on campouts & Summer Camps. Mike embodied the meaning of Eagle Scout, which he earned as a youth, and served as an example to these young men.

Mike Avery was a humble and fun-loving friend to the children of Operation Breakthrough for many years. Humble in that he deflected any sort of recognition for his incredible support. Fun-loving in that he seemed to revel in the activity that ensued when our preschoolers invaded his office, touching his computer and spinning around in his desk chair. He seemed very much at ease helping run a major company one minute and tossing a ball with 5-year-olds the next. He made our children feel like...

Mike was the kind of guy that was a good friend the moment you met him. He will be missed. We are both so sorry for your loss.

So very sorry for your loss.
