Kat - I count it a blessing that I got to meet Mike, see the two of you together and feel the love that was in your home. It was a blessing to me. His sense of humor, smile and laughter will forever be ingrained in my heart and soul. I love you. I am here for you. Just call me and I will be there.

To the family of Mike Stevens. We were very sad to hear the news of the untimely passing of Michael. He will be greatly missed by his family and his many friends. We enjoyed Mike at the many California Rental Association functions we attended together. Mike served the CRA with honor and distinction for many years. He held all positions on the Executive Committee including CRA President. It was our great pleasure to know Mike and to work with him and do business with Mike and his father, Jack, before him.

Our condolences to the family and our thoughts and prayers are with all of you. Fondly, Richard and Dale Briggs City Rentals. Ontario

My sister (Shirley Orvananos) and I (Beverly Loya "The Stoebe Twins") met Mike in high school. We were the first class to graduate from Alta Loma High School in 1965. I probably know Kathy. We remember having a lot of fun swimming at Mike's parents home during the summer. Our thoughts are with you and your family at this time.

In the 10 years that I had known Mike he was always someone I could talk to and he would always help me to find the answer. Mike was a friend to all of us at TrueBlue and always a positive force to help guide us through life. My thoughts and prayers are with his friends and family.

I had the pleasure of working with Mike during my eight years at TrueBlue. He was always gracious, funny and a great guy to be around. My sympathy to his family, friend's and co workers. You were "one of a kind" and will surely be missed.

I met Mike 3 years ago when I came to the TrueBlue family, and he was one of the first people to contact me and welcome me to the Safety Team, and the TrueBlue family. I have always enjoyed Mike's company when we were together in Tacoma, I enjoyed talking with him and learning from him. Mike will be missed greatly, and his impact on me will always be remembered fondly. My thoughts and prayers to Kathy, and Mike's family.

I first met Mike early on in our respective Labour Ready careers. He was always a person I could go to for dry humour and calm counsel As the years went by my respect for Mike and his way with people only grew.

In our last time together this spring Mike was extremely generous in donating to help by books for a school in the Philippines I visit each year.

I will never forget Mike for his humour, his demeanor and his generousity.

We all were created with understanding that we would one day be called back to our creator to live eternity in a place void of pain and suffering, and full of love and peace. God bless Mike and those he leaves behind. May you find peace in the knowledge that you will be rejoined one day.

I only had the pleasure of working with Mike (it never felt like I worked for him) for 4 months but the knowledge and friendship he shared was priceless and timeless. May there be a silver dollar in the afterlife for you.

PS: I passed my 511 today - thanks for putting me on this path.

Mike, you loved my Mom unconditionally and she love you the same. Thank you for sharing your last couple of years with her and teaching her how much she deserved. You treated her like gold, and for that I am forever grateful. You left us too soon but we are blessed for the short time you shared with us and chose to be a part of our family. On angels wings, Mike, your blessed soul has entered the gates of Heaven. God bless.
