Not sure what to say?

You will always be the kind,caring, and funny Uncle I grew up knowing. You always knew the right words say when they needed to be said even if it was a joke. I will remember the times I visited Reno when I was younger. We always made sure I got to come and visit when I was up in the area even if it could only be a few hours. I always had a good time with you and my cousins. I will miss you, we will all miss you, and you will forever be loved!

Mike you are the most unique person I have ever met in my life. You always kept me smiling even when I was having a bad day. You where always smiling and popping off jokes at work, We will really miss you.

Mike had a big heart and was one of the most genuinely sweet people I've ever encountered. I wish, as people often do in these situations that I'd shared these feelings with him when I had the chance. I can see that he was well loved by everyone he encountered and was not only loved, but respected by his family and friends. RIP, Michael.
