Our thoughts and prayers to the entire Bickler family. I enjoyed talking sports with Mike over the years. It didn't take me long to realize what a true competitor he was. I would have loved to have been a teammate of his back in the old days.
Our family respected Mike for the Man he was and the love he had for his family

Mike was one of the best Uncles that I could have ever asked for. I am very grateful to have had in my life! He was a assest to society with all of his accomplishments, and he will forever be remembered in our hearts.

Bickler family,
So sorry to hear of Mike's passing. He was part of my life growing up in Medford. Playing hoops, or just about any sport...he was really good at marbles. Super competitive at everything. He helped build a deck at my parents cabin at Fish lake when we were 8th graders. He showed me how to properly fish too! Lots of great memories of "Bick". Condolences to the family.

Marilyn & family,
The good ones never do last long enough, do they? Wow, so many memories. Late night exam cramming, shared classes, clamming, sturgeon fishing, elk hunts, policy debates, and most valued - his sharing of his wonderful family. Mike, thank you.

This is sad news. Mike was a good friend, a great mentor, and a very easy person to work for. He leaves many great memories in those of us involved with the Oregon Hunter Education Program, and in the national Hunter Education community. I mourn the passing of a friend, and offer my deepest sympathy to the family.
