RIP Mike.
We grew up together and I remember some of your best antics. I can't believe you are gone. When I drive on Parkway Drive, I always say a prayer for you and your family.
Rest easy

Mike, I am far better off having met you. There was always something about you that kept me positive and brought about a smile to my face. Your motivation to jam and make music was a true gift. I miss being your friend. I salute you Mike, slow hand salute, and as I order arms, I thank you for your service and your kind nature to those we liberated in a time of need. You sir, are not only my friend, but a gift to all. Thank you God for bringing Mike into my life!!.
I'm just learning of this sad news this very evening of January 9th, 2016 and I'm devastated. My heart and prayers are with your wife, children and family, some of whom I knew at one time in my life, when we were in our younger 20s.
Spoke to my mom tonight who remembered the day you came over and sat in the living room waiting for me to come down stairs, and explained your strong faith with the lord. Mike, you're now in heaven and watching down on all of us. I will forever cherish the music we recorded together just prior to you leaving for the Army. I last saw you doing what you loved doing, playing your guitar over in Jersey, making music for people and blessing them with your unique passion talent. God bless you Mike. I'll never forget how full of life you are and forever will be. Your friend. Dan.

I am so sorry to hear the loss of mike. I have not seen him since high-school, but I do remember he always had a kind word. When I lost my son 3 years ago, he wrote to me on Facebook hoe sorry he was. My thoughts and prayers are with his daughters and his family, and all those who were close to him. GOD bless.

Michael served his country well.
In his short life he brought joy to
those he met with his warm smile and sense of humor. He fulfilled the mandate of Christ in John's Gospel (ch. 17) "I came that you might have joy and your joy would be complete." I pray that Michael now knows first hand the joy that Christ wishes us.
May God give his family that joy in their terrible loss.
