MICHAEL ROBERT KERCHEVAL

My heart is so sad. The summer between 8th and 9th grade, Mike gave me a walking tour of Mount Vernon High School, to help me prepare as an incoming freshman. The campus seemed so big and vast, I was in awe. Both excited and nervous at the same time.

Later that summer, I helped him move from Fir Island to Big Lake. He had a two-seater Porsche roadster at the time, and it took 6-7 trips in one day to move "the small stuff." He treated me to my very first beer that day -- either...

Mike how could you leave us all so soon? You will be very missed especially at T.L.V. You were a great friend and a real intelligent fellow. You will be very missed and I know you are up sitting beside our Lord explaining how things should be done the right way.
