I met Mike at Sthil Inc. in 1995 when I was in my apprenticeship. He was always eager to teach, he always had a smile on his face, and always made everyone laugh. He will be missed. God Bless him and his family. I am sorry for your loss..

I knew Mike since he was 12 years old. We both lived in Aragona Village. He and his family were a special part of my life. It has been many years since I have seen them but remember the years we had growing up. Rest in peace Mike. One day the gang from Aragona Village shall run on the golden roads of heaven and celebrate life with our family and friends.You will always be in my memories. God be with his family, friends, and coworkers as they mourn such a friendly, pleasant,and remarkable man.

Even though Mike and I had just a passing aquaintance he always said hello and asked how I was doing. That sort of sincere kindness is rare. A good sense of humor and a passion for his kids is what else I'll remember. Stihl won't be the same without him. My condolences to the Hayes family.
