Michael Karnes

I just heard of Michael's death and my shock is overwhelming. Such sad news. My sincere prayers and condolences to his family.

Mike always had a smile on his face. He brightened the life of all those he acquainted. Helpful, caring, thoughtful and obviously very intelligent, and always putting others before himself. The world has definitely lost a beautiful soul. Prayers for his family and loved ones. Sincere condolences.

Dear Megan, Cameron and Andrew -

It was with shock and deep distress that I today learned of the death of your beloved father and husband and my special guy at Walgreen's Pharmacy, a guy I could always count on to help me through the occasional scary moments and big-pharma burocracy. From shortly after I had a major organ transplant in 2012, Mike has always been there for me, remembered my situation and done every thing he could to help me get the vital meds I needed within the time...

I am so very sorry for your families loss. I knew Mike from the pharmacy at Walgreens in Arlington Heights where I have been a customer for years. I will never forget his smile and how helpful he was. He always went out of his way to help. Such a tragedy that he was taken too soon from your family and this world. God Bless You All.

To the family of Mike Karnes, we've known Mike as customers for many years. He always went out of his way to help us and We can only believe this was his true nature. Always thinking of others.I was saddened to hear of his passing. Our thoughts and prayers for you and your family.

To the family of Michael: My husband and I got to know Mike as we often had questions that we knew he could answer, and knew he would do his best to help. It happened several times that his name came up in our house as the one we should ask a given question. We had so much respect for him, and just want you to know that he touched our lives by his knowledge, and by his caring way. Prayers for you all at this time, for your comfort in the days and weeks to come. Sincerely, Dave and Sharon

Dear Karnes Family,

For three years I had work in Arlington Heights and often called on Michael. Today, I happened to see the paper and learned of his loss.
He was always kind, engaging, interested in pharmaceutical discussion and willing to help, despite busy demands of his work. He was professional and courteous.
I am so very sorry for your loss. He made an impact on me.
