MIKE AND I MET FOR THE FIRST TIME IN ATLANTA,GA. IN A SANDLOT BASEBALL GAME. HE WAS ELEVEN AND I WAS TWELVE YEARS OLD. I PITCHED A ONE HITTER. GUESS WHO GOT THE HIT? LITTLE DID I KNOW THAT SOMEDAY WE WOULD BECOME CLASSMATES AT SOUTH WEST DEKALB HIGH SCHOOL. " IRON " MIKE ( AS WE CALLED HIM) WAS UNIQUE AND GIFTED. HE WAS DESTINED TO ACHIVE THE GREATNESS THAT MOST OF US CAN ENVY. CAROL JEAN, MAY GOD BLESS YOU AND ALL OF YOUR FAMILY DURING THIS TENDER MOMENT OF YOUR LIVES.

Carol Jean, I just learned of Mike's tragic accident today. You have my deepest sympathy. Mike and I played ball together at SWD High and he was my very best friend. Thankfully, I got to see the two of you recently at the reunion after quite a number of years had past. I will always remember Mike with the fondest of memories. We have lost a great guy!!
Sincerely,

Mike -- Our Family Idol -- Please accept our sincere condolences -- we all loved him so much. Mike lived with us when drafted to the Niners.. My Dad - Ode Leon Styles - was Mikes mothers - Katherines brother. We had such great times with him, Niner games, meals out, etc. always a delight to be with. I wish we could have been with him in years that followed, but with school, family obligations, etc it didn't happen. I wish we could be with you tomorrow, but will be definitely thinking of...
