Not sure what to say?

I had the pleasure of working in Michael's band. He was a skilled guitarist, vocalist, and entertainer. He always made sure that the clients' requests were attended to and made all of us band members feel important and respected. He had a unique format in his band where we all played with each of our backing tracks. No need for a drummer since each track had complete music minus the lead vocals.

Michael, We think about you often, especially when we are at our cabin on the property that you sold to us at Lake Pillsbury Ranch. The place you loved so much! We miss your phone call, inquiring about what movie we might be watching or even who is winning at our card games. Michael you are so missed! May the Lord be with you and rest in peace dear friend!

Dear Michael, we shared a love for the pups you found and gave me to care for. Roxie and Poochie are the best gift anyone could give to me. We will miss you dearly, Cathy, Roxie and Poochie

Chris and Family, I am sad to hear this news. Michael was special. Let me know if there is anything I can do for you. Jeffrey Lindsey

Thank you Michael for being a cool brother when I was dating your sister many moons ago. Happy we had the chance to reconnect during your shows at Harrah's Tahoe. You were a genuine kind soul and I'm honored our paths crossed...wishing you a blessed journey going forward

I can't believe you are gone but I know you are no longer suffering. You came into my life when I was in 8th grade and from that moment on you remained a huge inspiration and part of my life. I always refer to you as my godfather because you were a father figure for me. You will always remain a huge part of my heart and your memory will live on forever. I have the mixed tape you made me still and I will always be able to play it when I want to hear your voice. Thanks you for showing me so...
