Not sure what to say?

I am so glad I had a chance to finally meet Mike, when he came to Phoenix to assist some of us other IT geeks at a conference for work. I had seen his name through email and spoke with him on the phone before, but I couldnt be more greatful to have shared in his warm and hysterical company. Mike was one funny guy and he lit up the room with his sense of humor and demeanor. All of us working with him will never forget how he ended up becoming the announcer at the conference. He really missed...

I worked with Mike through Phoenix in Chicago and we were suppose to go out with him and Doug but was not able to get together because we had to move to DC Metro Area. But I love Mike's bubbly personality and always ready to do his job (no matter how annoying or hard it can be). I enjoyed his company especially as he updates my computer system at night at work and we talk about random things- life, hassles of moving, his grand plan to conquer and enjoy Chicago!

We were privileged to know Michael through our daughter, Katie. Mike was such a presence. He could light up a room with his incredible smile. He had amazing talent, both as a musician and with his wonderful voice. He not only had a great sense of humor, but he was a sensitive, thoughtful, and loving man. Michael will continue to watch over those he loved and cherished...because this is Michael. God bless his family and friends.

May your memories of the wonderful times you shared with your loved one comfort you and your family, today and always.

I was so sorry to hear this. I will always remember the great times we had in band and orchestra at EK with the "Mello Cello." My thoughts are with the family and friends.

I worked with Mike on three of the Pride festivals and I'll always remember what a joy it was to work with him. When tensions were high or we were all stressed out, Mike was always at ease and just a comfort to be around. It's been several years since we last worked together, but I'll always remember him well.

My heart aches for you Melanie and Wes at the loss of your beloved son Michael. I pray that God helps you find the love, peace, joy and comfort you need during this difficult time and he keep you and your loved ones in his loving embrace.

God Bless,
Tedi R. Parsons

I met Michael through my daughter. I knew Michael as a large man, with a even larger heart. He had such a love of life, and never had a negitive work for his fellow mankind. I am going to miss you Michael, your witt, kindness and our Sunday night bowling games. Thank you forkeeping a eye on Bre for me, and being such a good friend to both she and Steve. Rest my friend, and find the ever lasting peace you deserve.
