Michael Jacob Tauriainen

I had the pleasure of knowing Mike and his wonderful family and very much enjoyed a flight with him and brother Glen over the Kenai. I have heard it said that a persons shoes will be hard to fill - i think in Mike´s case they dont make shoes like that anymore. My most sincere condolences to Kay and the rest of the family.

Love z ad nd prayers to Kay and family

Mike was a star basketball player at Kenai High. A real basketball hero. Mike Mike he's our man. If he can't score no one can! Very hard to lose old friends. May the memories sustain his wonderful family at this time. Love and prayers! So very hard to lose old friends

I am so grateful to have gotten to know Mike through Rotary and our clinic. He was an amazing inspiration to many of us. He will be sorely missed. My deepest heartfelt condolences to his family and all who loved and knew him.

My deepest condolences for your loss. My prayers are with you at this difficult time.

So sorry to hear of your loss. Condolences to you and your family.

I went to the U of A with Mike and knew him as a wise and thoughtful man. Last saw him at a small memorial gathering for my dad in Soldotna. My condolences to Kay, who I went to high school in Fairbanks.

It is hard to find a better friend. Mike's hugs were legendary. Miss you brother. The legacy will go on because of his generous and genuine love for his friends and family.

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow. I knew Mike and all of his family... this saddens to hear of his loss. He will be missed by all. RIP Mike, I'll be thinking of you!
