Not sure what to say?

Michael, hardly a day goes by the kids and I dont think of you. You were special in every way. Siempre

Still missing you.

You, Michael Brooks, so beautiful and unassuming and lovely. This time of year is full of you, pretty flowers, freshly cut grass. I have said it a million times....I miss you every single day of the year and have never ever never stopped hoping and praying that one day the back door would open and it would be you, grinning. I miss you and love you siempre y siempre, your girl JS

Happy to celebrate fathers day today on behalf of the greatest dad in the world. Not a day goes by that I don't think of you. I know you are watching out for everyone and will always be around in some way. You were the jack of all trades and always will be. Rest easy man. FlyAwayHome

Today would have been your 53rd birthday. Michael, you are the love of my life, the best friend I have ever known, and not a minute goes by without some precious thought of you. My world will never be the same, because with you I finally understood what it felt like to be loved...all the way...and to love. I am thankful that God allowed me to be the one you spent your last days with. I loved you with all my might, always will. Yup, you are mine and I will always be your girl. ...

Mebane and family,

We are so sorry about Mike's death. You are in our thoughts and prayers. Marie Clark from Jerome United Methodist Church

I am at such a loss for words. He was a caring, beautiful soul with a great talent for art as well as making any one feel welcome and at ease. I am still in shock and know he will be greatly missed by everyone whose life he has touched! I only regret that I didn't know sooner so I could have said...

Although I didnt really know Mike, he always seemed in a positive, good mood. Working at the zoo I had the pleasure of running into him quite often and he never had a problem sharing a warm hello or smile. Mike you will be missed by many!

I had the pleasure of working with Michael for over 15 years on many types of signage projects. He was my "go to sign guy" and we became friends as well. He always spoke so proudly of his children, always! I will miss his wit and his charm, and his ability to artistically create what I explained in words. Eric and I will always have a great memory of fishing with Michael up on Lake Erie two years ago - - a perfectly blue sky and a relaxing walleye dinner afterwords. I will always be...
