Not sure what to say?

My deepest sympathy goes out to the Thorpe family. I went to school with Mike, he was my brothers very first friend when we moved to Burton. Michael always had a way of making the two of us feel like we were a part of Bentley! He had the biggest heart and always knew just what to say or do to make you smile. My brother, Tyler, and I will always remember the wonderful times we were blessed to have been able to share with Mike! Your family is in our prayers!

Mike always knew how to brighten anyone's day. He was a great guy and a terrific friend to everyone. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
{We love you Mike!}

We are very sorry for your loss. Mike will be missed dearly by everyone who knew him. It is hard to understand why this had to happen to him. Only last year at this time we were getting ready to graduate and everything was great. We all have so many great memories of Mike and all the times he made us laugh. We will all miss him greatly!!!!!!!

Wanda, Jeff, Chad, Corey, and everyone else impacted. Anyone who knew Mike knows what was lost last week. My heart goes out to all of you. I am going to miss Mikes constant joking attitude. Be Strong...

Jeff and Wanda I can't even begin to tell you how we felt when we got a call from Derek saying that Mike had passed away. We have both thought of all of you all day. Mike is in a better place now and is watching down over everyone. We can not begin to know how you are feeling and what you are going through. We love you and are thinking of all of you.

Mike and I became close throughout the years. It seems like yesterday He and Andrew were in trouble for climbing on my roof. He was really hiper and got so excited over simple stuff. I loved his smile and those big dark eyes. He was like one of my own. The way that we connected the most was thru music. I'll always think of him when I hear Ozzy's "Momma I'm comming home." He missed her and I'm sure they are together again looking down on all of us. Although he loved motorcycles, and...

We are so sorry for your loss. I can't even begin to imagine how you feel. Our thought and prayers are with you all.
