Not sure what to say?

I think about this great man every single day. Mike is still missed deeply and I continue to keep his family in my prayers.

Missing mike each day at the sport center His passion to make the room and day better was incredible

Mike was a friend and sometime adversary who could be counted on for integrity, common sense and good humor. We shared lunch or a beer from time-to-time and he is missed by all who were lucky enough to cross his path.

I am so sorry for your loss and that I have taken so long to write. I saw Mike all of the time at the courthouse and kidded him that when I went on my walk I would go by his office and see him up in his office working. I still look up thinking about him. He was a great attorney but an even greater person and I will miss him.

It has been our great privilege to be friends of Mike Cetina for the last 35 years. Mike was a man to be admired and emulated. He exhibited great skills, strength and accomplishments as an attorney and a person. Mike did everything with great intensity and care for others. He touched so many lives and our community is better because Mike was in it. He was generous with his time and deeply treasured his loved ones. We are grateful to have known him and are saddened by his sudden loss. ...

I had the privilege of having Mike practice in front of me. He was always well prepared and a skilled advocate for his clients. He was a gentleman and well respected by all. I never heard a bad word about Mike. Every year I looked forward to a Christmas luncheon and Fat Tuesday luncheon with Mike, Bob Black and Marc Forkins. Rest In Peace my friend.

Mike was a GREAT man and friend who always was very sincere. He called me the day before he passed just to check in on my mom who recently had major surgery, simply because we were friends and he was concerned. I will miss you very much my friend and I will continue to pray for your family.

I met Mike about 3 years ago. He became involved as co-counsel for the plaintiff in a case I was defending. The case involved quite a bit of work and went to a jury trial. I think Mike and I got to know each other pretty well.

The trial was in the summer of 2019. After the trial, whenever Mike and I saw each other we would stop and talk. Then Covid came along and we didn’t see each other again. Today I heard he had passed.

Mike was an excellent attorney. More...

Dear Tammy, Danny, Tori, Allie, and Tommy,
I had the privilege of working with your husband and father through my employment with Cogan & Power. He was a smart, kind, good, humble and incredibly knowledgeable man. I am deeply sorry for your loss. You are in my thoughts and prayers.
