Michael J. Bartels

3 years now. Michael, you are missed. i've read all the books you asked me to the last time we talked. Promethea is no joke. You were such a deep individual and i wish we had more time. i'm thankful for what little time i got to spend with you, and i learn from the memories of you on a daily basis. it is the memories which resurrect you, and it is the memories which keep you immortal.
slainte.

. . . i'm shocked. things got messed up and we lost touch years ago - probably one of my biggest regrets and I wonder about you often.
I was sitting here this morning and I started thinking of you. . . this obituary was the first thing that came back when I typed your name in to google. I am sad to hear you have passed.
you were an amazing friend, full of character, and your shared interests have filled my imagination ever since.
I met you accidentally at the movies, for...

I wish I had stayed in contact more. I can't believe you are gone. You were hands down the coolest guy I knew. I'll miss ya, man.

I love you Michael....I never got a chance to say goodbye to you, but I feel your constant presence everyday. I wish you could hear the music I am writing...I loved sharing my art with you!!! You always supported me, and my work now will be in your memory...You will be missed, brother.

Hey Michael, I still think about you. I miss you alot! We used to have some really good and really funny conversations that would sometimes go on for hours. I love you bud!!

well in 1 hour and 29 minutes it will be 1 year, i never chose to write in public about it, so if you are reading now, then you really care...

you meant so much to me michael, i hated to see you waste away in those beds, it took alot out of me and has never been replaced

you were my best friend and my brother, those last words we had together mean the world to me... i am so glad you were proud of me, i was so proud of you as well

i miss you more than you ever...

I caught myself thinking about Michael today... I can't believe he's been gone almost 7 months already. He was such a good friend to so many people. He will always be missed.
