Not sure what to say?

I only wish I had met this gentle giant, Mike Yeager before GOD called him home. There´s no doubt that this kind individual is in Heaven with all of his beloved animals who have left this life before and after Mike/Michael Yeager did so. I´ve always admired his Father, Charles "Chuck" Yeager and yet never had the pleasure of meeting him either. Flight, the love of being in the skies with only the sound of the engines or props chopping the air was my Daddy´s 1st love, he served in WWII the...

Michael´s obit said his death was sudden & unexpected. What was the cause of death? Tragic for the Yeager family who had gone through so much grief!

I had the honor of observing Michael's mechanical skills, I was in ninth grade or so, I remember a model A pickup, being a future gear head, I loved Model A's.

The Yeagers were neighbors of my family while living in West Germany at Hahn Air Force Base from 1955-1956. My father was Col. Charles G. Willes. R I P Karen Willes Callan

So sorry to learn of Mike's passing so long afterwards. I worked with Mike at Hill AFB in the early 80s. He always struck me as a guy who would do anything for you, just a good person. Farewell, my brother.

I never met the gentleman, but I do know he came from good stock. His father Chuck was truly one of the greatest men in modern history. RIP

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.

Mike, your Dad is home with you and Mom now. We will miss you all until we stand with time in eternity.

So sorry, and shocked, to hear of Mike's passing. I'd been meaning to get out to see him for some time, but the opportunity never seemed to present itself. Lesson learned... make time for those you care about while you can. I'll miss Mike, but I'll cherish good memories of RC flying, flyfishing (him actually catching fish, me thrashing the water) and visiting him and his family back at Hill AFB many years ago. My sincerest condolences to Linda and the family.
