Mike Stark

Dear Kat and all Mike's Family,

So sorry this is late but we needed to pass along our sincerest condolences. It is hard to put feelings into words when there are so many wonderful memories of such a great friend. Mona and I will always treasure those memories as he certainly touched our lives forever.

Kat, I hope you know how much he appreciated your love, strength and support as well as the Family's. You took a "true work of art" and made it into a masterpiece....

So very sorry about Mike, you and the entire family have our families condolences.

Mike was one of the those special guys to me in that he always made you feel good when you we're with him. His sense of humor and always the "cup was half full" type guy. We first meant at USD via his Rapid City Stevens friends and quickly became good friends. We were Miller Lite buds and he could sure eat his share of an R-Pizza (and most of my four piece chicken dinner and tots)....

I was so saddened to hear about Mike. He was such a sincerely nice person and friend, and had a great smile. My condolences go out to the Stark family.

Dear family of Mike,

I was saddened to hear of Mike's passing. Mike and I were best friends in grade school at Cleghorn, and classmates at Stevens High and Black Hills State. We always kept track of each other, no matter how far apart and how much time elapsed between our visits. I have many fond memories of Mike and am blessed to have known him and to have had him be part of my life. He was truly one of the good people. He had a courageous, huge heart, a ready smile and laugh,...

I was shocked to hear about Mike, I'm sorry to hear about your loss. I will always remember our earlier days, playing sports, and generally just having a good time growing up. We were blessed.
God's love,
Brad Johnson

Dear Kat,
Sometimes we do not know what one is going through.
How work and home can be two seperate places.
Please know how sad I was to hear about Mike and how my prayers are with you at this time.
If there is anything I can do don't hesitate to call...
You are such a strong and special person but know that there are many friends that are wanting to help you through this. And I am one.
May God Bless and give you peace at this difficult time.

Dear Kat and Family
We offer our condolences and prayers for you at this time. Mike was such a special person, he always made time for the people in his life. Mike lived life to fullest extent possible and when I think of Mike I can't help but smile, there are so many wonderful memories. I am saddened by the fact that he is not here with us and I will miss the big man but I know he is in better place. He probably has Buffet cranked, the beers on ice and is enjoying his friends in...

I want to share with all friends and family the last words that Mike said to me; "Have fun!" I think Mike invented the word fun. Until we meet again to have fun, my love for him and memories will carry me through. May this bring comfort to others as well, especially his special, special love of his life...Kat.
Mike: till we meet again to dance and sing to Buffett, "Show heaven what fun is!"
Love Karen
