Mike you were my boss and mentor since i came to the south yard, more important you became someone I looked to as a friend. You are going to be missed, i will also miss the debates over flat earth. Rest in peace

Uncle Mike was one of the coolest, happiest people I have ever had the pleasure of knowing. Always had a smile on his face. He leaves so many to cherish his memory. Gone way too soon. RIP Uncle Mike

Mike~ you were always a smiling face in the darkness of the days. You always told me what I was eating was good, but the way I cooked it was BAD!!! I am still waiting for my air fried catfish...lol. I can't believe you are gone, I talked to you everyday...I still have your last texts to me and read them over and over. I read them because you were asking for help for one of your employees, you kept saying..."smh" lol...you always were helping others. You had the respect of your crew and your friends and coworkers. Everyone knew you had their best interest at heart. You were a daredevil, a hard worker and you were so freaking smart. You knew your stuff for sure, but you didn't see this coming. No one did. You were hard headed, you were a hard worker and you were a hard player...you would say "ok mah..." if I said be careful. We all liked you, we all loved you, we will all miss you! Rest in peace Mike, you have earned your place in heaven. Always...Kammy
We will mourn you til we join you!!!
