I wasn't privileged to ever meet Mike at our convent in Tijuana but in reading about Mike and his Father, I feel all of your pain. Know that my prayers are with you and your family during this time of sorrow. Praise God for good memories. May they carry you through, along with lots of prayers and kind words from everyone. God bless you all.

Mike was such a wonderful guy, so generous with his time and talents. He would offer up his Saturdays to work with us in TJ, bringing with him some other young volunteers from St. B's. What a great guy!!

I will think of Mike everytime I go to Tijuana to the Convents. I know he put in many hour to help to make them beautiful for us sisters. We appreciate it very much!
I did not know he was in Austin. I am on the North edge of Austin in Round Rock, TX. My his soul rest in pease with our Lord. God bless all of you. I will continue to pray for you.

Mike was a very close friend of ours and we will always miss his smile, his laugh, his positive attitude and the way he made everything he did fun – just by being himself! Mike has been our constant companion on all our hiking/backpacking trips and we’ll forever cherish all our adventures together!

We’ll never forget one trip we took up Mt. Whitney. A few folks from our group got caught in a hail/lightning storm near the top of the mountain. Mike had already summited the...

Mike Ross…you had the biggest, warmest, kindest, most welcoming smile of anyone I have ever known. Everyone that met you liked you. You had a way about you that made people feel comfortable. You were true to your word, always willing to help those you needed it, and an all around good guy. You were a wonderful person and I feel lucky to have known you.

Mike and I only re-connected in San Diego recently, but we packed in some good times. There wasn't a more selfless, affable and genuine guy. The San Diego Memorial is evidence of how well-loved he was down here, and we were all better people for knowing him. I miss you, buddy.

When I talked with Mike he truly listened and cared. I enjoyed hiking with him and meeting up with him at social events. He will definitely be missed but his impact on our lives will go on.

Mike was a dear friend to many and an inspiration to us all. I'll always have fond memories of our volunteer trips to Mexico. He was the one that would lead us on the adventures and facilitate the humanitarian work. He definitely left his mark. My condolences to his family.
