Michael was an usher in my wedding in 1970. He was a nice guy and we had lots of fun in those days. I pray his family has comfort in memories of happy times with Michael.

Mike was a great guy. In the 11 years I had the pleasure of knowing Mike I can say that he tought me a lot in the years I worked with him. He was an original Charactor not just another run of the mill cookie cutter, Mike was his own brand and not affraid to be himself and that was sooo cool. Plain and simple Mike was a real cool Cat. My family and I will pray for wonderfull blessings and good vibes to come to Taylor, Samantha and the rest of the Powell family. We are here for you and and we are only a phone call away.
Sending lots of Love and Positive Energy ,
The Long Family

With heavy heart, I am sending condolences to Samantha, Taylor, and family. I've known Your Dad my entire life. He was one of my Dad (Rick Walence's) closest friends. He was a man of character and heart. He will be missed. I dearly appreciated his kind words and attendance last year while our family grieved. One of my fondest memories with your Dad was a New Year's Eve party at his house. I was one of the only kids at that party. Your Dad let me sit and read his comic book collection for hours! I organized and read, and he never scolded me for changing their order...I know that took patience! Please, know my thoughts are with you at this time.❤ Praying for your family's peace and comfort during this time. God bless you.

I enjoyed getting to know Mike and working with him at Computer Support Inc and Industrial Systems. He was always very helpful and a true professional. I was shocked and surprised at hearing of his passing. He will be greatly missed by all of his friends, business associates and family. The Harlow Family

Sad news. Graduated with Mike, and have wonderful memories of going to Cotillion and dancing the night away! He was the best dancer and I remember having such fun in my formal dresses with shoes to match dyed at Thom McAnn's! He was a sweet gentleman. Heartfelt condolences.
