We love you Mike! Rest In Peace! Kerry, Ed, Maddie, & Charlie Panuska

Expressing our deepest sympathy with with the news of Mike’s passing. Our thoughts and prayers go out to all of you. Love, The Bielen Family

I’ll always remember Michael as a fun, silly trickster when visiting the Roaches house as a teenager. As an adult, he never seemed to lose his quirky sense of style. He will be missed by many yet know he’s in immense, loving hands in his afterlife.

Mike was a childhood friend because our moms were good friends for a time. We spent many summers at the beach and many sleepovers laughing. He ripped the head off my cabbage patch doll one time, ran around with it and made me laugh so hard I couldn't breathe. We caught frogs and crabs together, and he taught me how to catch killie fish. We haven't spoken in many years. We drifted apart after elementary school and I lost touch with him completely after highschool. But when I just read this, it...

To say that we will miss Mike is an understatement. Mike was far more than an advisor to our office, as we all considered him a friend and enjoyed his company after hours on the golf course and especially the 19th hole. Our team will miss him tremendously and our thoughts and prayers are with his family.

With all our love,

Mike gave so much of himself, with his work at Eagle Strategies. Without him, my career would not be where it is today. I’m so glad I got to know him on personal level as well. He will truly be missed.
