Michael Irwin Guetschow

"Getch" and my husband were close friends while in the Marines, stationed together at Camp Pendleton in CA. He was a groomsman at our wedding and he is the reason our son's middle name is Michael. We kept up with him for a while, talking by phone every so often, but then lost touch - and we regret that very much. The world has lost a tremendously special man - a kind, loving, gentle, funny, sweet man. I finally decided to post something here today because while reminiscing about our...

Mike was such a great guy. We all loved him so much. John was blessed to have worked with him. We pray for your family and think of you daily. Please know that his memories will carry on. We talk about him, joke and laugh about our memories of him at work. It just isn't the same without him.

To my dear aunt and uncle and cousins, Chuck, Judy, Jim, Karen and families, we have been with you in our thoughts each day this week, since Mike departed. We love you very much and hope peace will come to you in time. I am so sorry for your loss, but I also believe that Mike is in a wonderful place now. Until we see you again--
Gail Von Bargen and family

Chuck and Judy, Just know that we are thinking of you today and will say a prayer for you. Your cousin, Jean and Don Kannel

I am shocked and saddened to hear of Mike's sudden passing. We went to elementary school together and I remember sharing a lot of laughs with him. My thoughts and prayers go out to you.

Chuck, Judy, Karen and Jim, We are so sorry to hear about Mike. We all remember him as our neighbor, friend and "little brother". We have many great memories of growing up together. Our thoughts and prayers are with all of you.

Chuck & Judy...we are extremely saddened by the news of your loss. Our thoughts & prayers are with you & your family. So sorry we can't be there.

Chuck and Judy,
We are shocked and saddened to here about Mike's sudden passing.
May you feel God's arms holding you up during this most difficult time. His smile will be missed by all. We will be praying for you.

I am the Aunt of Laurie, part of the Hudgins clan. Mike will always be to me the "knight in shining armor". He was a joy and wonderful man. We loved his smile and jokes that he always was readily able to tell. He was a very special part of this family and we, all of this family will miss him greatly. God Bless his family and God Bless Mike for being the donor of life to others. I know it was an important part of his character. Love Don and Amy Voigt, and our children: Jim, Tina & Nick...
