Michael Stone

Mike(AKA EscLemons)-You were a great friend and Teammate! You will never be forgotten. Even though I never met you in person, I feel blessed to have known such a great young man as yourself.

Sincerly,
Jimmy (AKA EscSmitty)

To all of Mike's online friends, my name is Derek and Mike was a great friend of mine. We went to school together, and I knew him for about 7 years. I just want you guys to know that he loved gaming with you guys, and would text, call or IM me often about something that happened while playing with you all. His favorite stories were of him getting banned from servers...which i always found funny. I also want you guys to know about a facebook group that was put together in memory of Mike...you...

I'm one of the friends Michael had at the Escape clan. He was a dear friend of mine. I can't remember a time he wasn't friendly. He was the guy who invited me to the clan. If it wasn't for him I wouldn't have all the friends at Escape that I have now. I only wish I could tell him how much it meant to me. I will truly miss him.

Mike was always there for anyone. It didn’t matter what day of the week or hour of the day. Chances are when you logged in Mike would be there or was going to be there. Also if Mike was online you knew that you had a friend who would sit and listen to you. No matter what you had to say.
He was always there to help you even if you knew he was busy. So much so that even when he was holed up in his homework channel he would still find the time to help you out with issues you had. ...

RIP lemons. You will be sorely missed.

What does one say...? A wonderful life cut short way too short in the eyes of us that remain...
We are not sad for Michael, but sad that we can no longer see him, nor touch him, nor experience his wonderful sense of humor, his special smile and those wonderful, deep and soulful eyes.
A gentle spirit who touched so many people. A joy to his parents, and all who knew him.
Michael grew up in front of us, since we met him and his family 8 years ago. We had just arrived in the US, and...

Michael was loved by everyone at Linfield. I only know him because of Alexa, and their bond was stronger than an average teenage relationship. He treated her like a princess and brought a smile to her face everytime he looked at her. God bless the ten months of memories that Alexa will always have, and the 18 years he had with his family.

My wife and I and our two sons, Micah and Jarret, Lindfield classmates of Michael, are grieving at Michael's early departure from us. I pray the Lord will give you peace, parents, and friends, in this most difficult time.

Dear Tersia, Pieter, and Michelle,
We were truly blessed by Michael's memorial service. You are justifiably proud of both of your children--Michelle represented her brother's love beautifully, like a young woman. What uplifting words of tenderness and affection were shared--a real testament to his goodness. We will remember Michael on Feb. 13. May our loving Father surround you today and always.
