Michael will always be remembered as a very kind and altruistic individual. He made going to school a lot more fun! He will be deeply missed by many. I was very shocked to learn that he had passed away. I will do my best in my own life to raise awareness for mental health so these very unfortunate losses can be prevented. He will always be in my heart as one of the best human beings I had known.
