Not sure what to say?

I am truely grateful for having known Mike so well. He was and will always be a fixture in my memories from College. He was always there for you when you needed him, and there for just about every memorable event I can remember. He was as light hearted and genuine as they come. We'll miss you brother.

I never saw a wild thing
sorry for itself.
A small bird will drop frozen dead
from a bough without ever having felt sorry for itself.

Our prayers to Mike, Marietta and their families. He is loved and will be missed.

Jackie! (As we commonly called each other for no apparent reason other than laughs!) You were a not only a friend but a Great friend. Getting to know you over the last 20 or so years showed me that true friends are a gift and that gift should be cherished. From the many trips to the endless jokes and laughter to more serious talks of family and work life it was something that I will never forget and never be able to duplicate. As I sit here now and reflect on all the memories I find myself...

I have been fortunate to know Mike for almost 15 years. When we met, we were both essentially beginning our careers and soon became fast friends. I think its because Mike was such a fun-loving, compassionate and honest person. Not to mention an avid animal lover like me. I trusted his opinion because I knew it came with no pretense and was from the heart. With so many shared experiences, some daunting like 9/11, some exuberant like sharing in our happiness when we each found our true...

Although I have not been in touch with Igoe since our college days, I had the honor of being his friend and classmate for many years. We all helped each other so much in our senior year and graduated together. He was a super nice, funny guy who I know grew into a great man. Although he was taken way too soon, his memories will live on. Anytime I am reminiscing with my girls from Coastal, Igoe is always in our stories. RIP

As pledge brothers Mike and I formed a friendship that was literally burned into our hearts. For years to come as I played behind him on our football team, I protected him. Now he protects all of us as our angel. The times we shared will live on forever. His legacy forged in an elevator shaft that only an elite few know about. My heart goes out to his family.

There are many ways I respected Mike but my top two were his enthusiasm for life and his passion toward being a good friend. 100% of the time I saw Mike he gave me a huge smile..... always accompanied with bellowing out some funny nick name he'd make up or just simply my last name. My day immediately brighten 100% of the time I was around the guy. I always admired how much importance he put on friendship. When I think of him, I think of a handful of his college friends that he held so dearly...

Marietta, Dawn, Mike Igoe Sr, Mike Sullivan, Codi and Jay, Michael was a true gift to everyone he met. Mike and I met as boys and helped each other grow up to be men. Though he has left us far to early, he is an angel on our shoulder enjoying watching us live on. I will think of you every day until I see you again brother.

Very sad to hear about the loss of Mike. He really made our days at coastal......well adventurous is the word that comes to mind. You couldn't find a man with a biggier heart or a bigger love of life. He was a great fraternity brother and friend. Taken way too early. Our prayers and thoughts go out to Marietta and all of his family. HFF brother IRON!
