Theo, family and friends,

My prayers are with you.

Words could not express the emotions I felt when I received the news. The question "why" kept running through my head. But only God knows why. Michael was truly an inspiration in my life when I first met him. He made my stay in Ann Arbor worth while. I will never forget all the good times we shared. He will always be near and dear to my heart. May your soul rest in peace. I will continue to pray for your family. Niecey

It so sad to lose a special person such as we have today. Michael was a really nice young man I can say I am happy to call a cousin. May the lord take care of his soul and remaining family that still live here on earth. My love and condolences goes out to the Patterson/Reed family.

I am sadden by our lost of a great Friend, Son, Brother & Father. Let us hold on to our faith and trust in the Lord that tells us he is in a better place.
My prayers are with you.

My prayers goes out to you Tommy, & family. May God bless & console you in these difficult times of sorrow.
When a loved one passes on, his/her death always seem so untimely, but God is just, & he's the only one that knows our destiny.
So long Michael, P E A C E.
