Mike had a contagious smile and a genuine soul. I met Mike my freshman year at Georgis Southern and maintained a friendship with him ever since. I was proud to have made his acquaintance and am deeply sorrowed by his untimely death. I would like to express my deepest condolences to his extended family and friends. He will be missed by all who had the pleasure of knowing him.

Looking out at my gorgeous dark bottom salt water pool with all the custom features we fought about, all that marble that Barry toiled away cutting to fit those huge diagonals, the mosaic and the cool deck brick work In fact, all my ideas you hated at first and then loved that Layla constantly had to rush over to check on - I can't believe you're gone...
You left a legacy of great work, honesty and integrity and a life well lived. Our thoughts and prayers are with your family and friends at this sad and difficult time.
RIP Mike, you were a good man.

Deeply saddened by the untimely death of Mike, I know I join so many others who knew him in offering our deepest sympathy in his passing. Mike was an extremely genuine, kind, and caring man. Though my husband, who is active in the military, and I haven't seen Mike for a long while, he touched our hearts by keeping us in his. Mike took the time to check on us periodically and always sent sincere thanks to my husband for serving this country during veteran holidays. It was little gestures like this that showed how big his heart was for others.
In Sympathy,
Matt and Stacey Hall

Hey Mike,
I do not understand why such a good man was taken from us long before his time. On Eagle's Wings
And he will raise you up, on Eagle's wings, hear you on the breath of dawn, Make you to shine like the sun, and hold you in the palm of His hand.
Your friend,
Steve Patterson

Mike was truly a one of a kind man. I only met him twice and he was a joy to be around. My husband worked for Mike and he was always talking about what a great guy he was to work for. I know that Mike loved his work, his business and his employees. He will truly be missed by many and my husband and myself. He is in a far better place, because there is no doubt in my mind that his soul now rests in Heaven.

We recently brought a spa from Mike and are deeply sadden that he passed away. We found him to be an ethical businessman, who was very open and honest before and after the sale. After installation, he went the extra mile to ensure that we were satisfied with our spa. He was a good and very pleasant person. He will be greatly missed in the Glynn county community.

I met Mike when he first moved to St. Simons. Mike was one of the most kind, soft spoken, compassionate guys I have ever met. It gives me comfort to know that he is with our LORD and SAVIOUR. My prayers are with his family.
