Michael Rankin

My birthday will always have a touch of sadness because that´s the day Dr. Mike died. But I always remember him fondly. He always made it a joy to come to work. He would crack me up all day with his quick, sarcastic wit. I wish Carla and the kids the best. He loved you dearly. -Kim

Miss you, Dr. Mike.

I miss you, my pal. Fond memories always.

I miss my former med school classmate. May God bless his soul and his family.

As my boys grew into young adulthood they were comfortable talking with him about anything. I would like to thank his family for sharing him with the...

My condolences. As a classmate of micheal in Gainesville, I fondly remember his sense of humor, compassion, and kindness he showed to all. He will be missed by many.

I today received the letter from PAMF. I am truly saddened to learn of this news.My children were patients of his until they aged out of Pediatrics. They, as well as I always enjoyed seeing him. He was a gentle giant. He will be missed by all he knew and loved. My heart goes out to his family during this time. May he rest in peace
