Michael F. Melander

Mike MEEE-lander - I liked to call him and just like so many have said before...there would shine that awesome smile of his. Just being around him - you were guaranteed a laugh and a bundle of happiness! He is making a lot of angels HAPPY up there in heaven! He will be missed here on earth. My prayers go out to all his family and friends.

We both enjoyed being around Mike, because of his great love for life and friends, and of course, that infectious smile. His "carpe diem" attitude positively influenced those with whom he happened to come into contact. He will definitely be missed.

To Pastor Steve, Debbie, Abby, and Meredith-

Losing someone we love is like losing a part of our soul. Learning to live without them is perhaps the most difficult task the human heart can encounter. I wish you patience, presence of mind, and courage during this most difficult time.

You're all in my thoughts and prayers! God bless, Tammy Laree.

I will remember the fun times that were had with Mike and friends while I lived in Minnesota.

We are so saddened to learn of the passing of your dear, sweet son. I can only believe that he has filled your hearts with joy and pride for the years he was with you. The Dear Lord must need his assistance. Our hearts and sympathy are with you.

Our thoughts and prayers go out to the Melander Family and friends. We will always remember Mike's vibrant personality and beaming smile. We feel blessed to have known him.

I'm sorry to hear about Mike's passing. I haven't seen him in a few years. Always smiling, he was a positive individual with many dreams. My sympathy goes out to his friends, family and those individual's lives he touched. May those wonderful memories stay in your heart forever to keep Mike's spirit alive.
