RUDY JONES & FAMILY

Collart Family,

I was utterly shocked to hear of Mike's passing. I have only known him since last July, but he was one of the happiest men I've ever known. He was the type of person who would give you the shirt off his back without hesitation. His positive attitude will be missed at ODH. I know his family meant the world to him and he was extremely proud of all of you. God bless.

The O'Dee family

Wendy and Family,

I am saddened to hear this news. Know that you are in my thoughts and prayers.

I first met Mike a few years ago at a Cheap Trick concert. Mike was an Ohio State graduate. The concert was in Owensboro, KY, the same weekend as the Ohio State/Michigan football game. He missed the game to attend the concert with Wendy. Right away I knew he was a good man and a loving husband.

God does these things for a reason. Our purpose here is to continue living life, trying to determine at some future point what the reason is. Hang in there!

"No one...

Wendy & Family, I am so saddened to learn of your tragic loss. There aren't any words that I can offer to truly express my sorrow. Please know that your family is in my heart and prayers.
Love, Steve, Jaci & Logan Kunz

Wendy, Paul and Stephanie:
I am shocked and saddened by Mike's passing and you all have my sympathy. Mike's family meant everything to him and I often heard tales of all your adventures. I am so glad that I had the chance to talk with Mike just days before his passing. He was a kind and generous person and he will not be forgotten here at ODH.

Collart Family.
I am very saddened by Mike's passing. We worked together at the Ohio Department of Health. To me, he was always warm, friendly and a pleasure to be around. My most positive thoughts are with you and Mike.

I did not know Mike well, however he always said "hello" when I passed him in the hallway at 35. E. Chestnut building (ODH). I passed by his cubicle frequently, and saw some beautiful family pictures prominently displayed. I met Mike when I particpated in a fundraising event for his son's high school marching band. It was quite evident that he was very proud of his two children. I am so sorry for your loss. Please know that many people are praying for your family - surrounding you all in...

To the Collart Family:
I am saddened to hear that Mike has passed away. I have known and worked with Mike for many years, especially in the rabies and West Nile virus programs out of the ODH. He was always a very conscientious and helpful colleague, and I will miss him. May God grant you the grace to make it through this very difficult time.
