Not sure what to say?

Remembering Mike.....We first met as roommates in Kalamazoo while working at Job Core. We had much in common learning that we both dated the same girl, loved to play golf, fish, hunt, ski and of course party. Both being in the insurance business once we attempted to settle down and raise our families we ended up in business together Baker-Hopp, Diehl and Keyes. Mike enjoyed life, loved his family and he will be deeply missed. Love and Sympathy to the entire Keyes Clan.

Mike and I were friends from high school even before he became my brother-in-law when I married Linda, his sister. We became close friends that shared many adventures together. His children and mine grew up together and became close cousins. I liked being with Mike, as we both had the same enthusiasm and humor with life's events. I will miss him greatly. My Keyes nephews and niece know the love and respect I have for the family and share in this time of sorrow.

Mike, I am so sorry for the loss of your father. My prayers are with you and your family.

We were saddened by Mike's passing. To His Family members , We want to send our deepest condolences to you at this trying time. I was a year behind Mike in school, but We wrestled for two years at Kalamazoo Central H S . Mike had a great sense of humor that put everyone at ease around Him. He will be missed . May Mike rest in everlasting peace.

So very sorry to learn of Mike's passing. He was a good friend and a perpetual source of amusement. My sincere sympathy and prayers of support are extended to Mike's family.

He will be missed, such a great man and joy to be around. I will always remember when Uncle Mike showed up dressed as Santa Claus on X-mas eve when I was a little kid. It was frightening until I figured it out it was him. Always enjoyed fishing with him on the big lake too. Our deepest sympathies go out to the Keyes family in this moment of sadness. He will always be remembered in our hearts. RIP Uncle Mike.

My husband Dan and I would like to extend our deepest and most sincere sympathy to all of Mikes children and grandchildren. Mike is my cousin his mother and my father were sister and brother. Although I hardly never seen Mike with the acception of sad gatherings I have always acknowledged him as my cousin when speaking with many people. I know he is going to be missed dearly by his family and close friends. And it saddens my heart that we never could just get together as once planned. My...

I am so sad to hear of Mike´s passing. I first met Mike in 1979 and he hired me to work in his Insurance Agency. It was the beginning of long working relationship and lifelong friendship. He was a great guy and even made Insurance fun. I have so many happy memories that I will always cherish and keep tucked away in my heart. RIP now dear Michael you will be missed
