Rev. Michael F. Briggman

Fr. Briggman holds a special place in the hearts of all my family. He will be remembered as a special priest and a good and faithful friend. To Mary Kay and family I will always remember your family was to my family. Wish we lived closer so we could remember the good times together. If you ever visit in Florida, know you are most welcome. May Mike rest in peace and know you will always hold a special place in my heart. Many blessings and prayers. Merrielee

There are so many wonderful memories of you and the impact you had on our family. I clearly remember your visits and all your positive messages of hope and faith. You will always be an important part of my life and the lives you touched each day. You are truly missed, but it is comforting to know you are with my family once again! Terry (Burnard) Applegarth

I still miss Mike and think of him often. I will always remember his care and concern for others. He was one of a kind and will live in many memories for years to come. My family often mentions him with love and respect. May each of you know how special he was to all he came in contact with. RIP Mike.

A very special man and priest who brought the Lord Jesus to many over his life. I keep him on my prayer list each day. I am certain he and the Lord are enjoying each other.

I will never forget the man who inspired me to convert to Catholicism. Your easy smile, inclusive laugh and quick wit will be sorely missed by all of us here on Earth. I am only comforted by the thought that you are with the Lord now at last.

Fr. Mike will always hold a special place in my heart and in the hearts of my family. May he rest in the arms of the Lord he so faithfully served. And may God grant peace of all of you. I will always fondly remember each of you., and maybe someday, when the pain has diminished we can get together to share memories.

I will thank the Lord every day of my life for having lead me to St. Francis Friary in 1988, where I first met Fr. Mike; and then for leading me to St. Joseph's, where he was the Pastor. My life has been forever blessed. There will never be another Mike Briggman. We have lost an amazing, honest, funny, loving friend. We have lost a great Priest. Who knows how many lives he touched, how many souls he brought to Christ? Fr. Mike truly lived his faith day in and day out. He was so down to...
