We will forever miss you!!! Rest peaceful Mike❤❤❤

A great guy leaving us to early. He will surely be missed. My condolences to his entire family. Thoughts and prayers go out to everyone who knew him.

To the family of Mike, My heart goes out to each of you during this time of mourning the loss of a son, brother, husband, father and friend. I have fond memories of neighbors on Executive Ave in Crooks, if there was 1 child outside there were easily 8-10 kids playing. When someone you love becomes a memory, that memory becomes a treasure. God's has his arms around each of you for healing of pain and sorrow along with strength and guidance.

You will be missed by many. I always remember your welcoming smile and big heart. Take care of heaven cause earth sure lost a good one.

Amber I am so very sorry for your loss you and your family are in my thoughts and prayers. If there’ anything you need we are all here for you. With love.

We pray for the Washburn family in memory of Michael. May Michael's light shine bright in your hearts. He will always be missed but never forgotten. May God bring you peace to heal your heart and bring you comfort!

Sorry for Mikes passing. Your all in our hearts and prayers.

Godspeed. You will shine brightly, from the heavens, upon your beautiful and loving family and friends.
