So Sorry to hear about Michael. My condolences to his family. I knew Michael at PYD with ATT, YLF and MHC programs he participated in. He was a gentle soul and an amazing spirit. He will be missed. RIP.

I was a member of the PAAC group along with Michael. I met him a few years ago and he always stood out for being such a nice guy. He will be very missed and I'll never forget him. To Michael's family, I am praying for you to have strength in the coming days. From a sister who lost her brother to DMD in 2015, I truly understand your pain.

Michael was one of the sweetest young men I have ever met. I was so glad when he became a cub scout in our den. Watching him over the years was always an inspiration in strength. Ray , Judy and Kevin, you are in our hearts and prayers.

Michael was one of our first students to earn the title “Voice of the Bulldogs” via his dedication and skill brought to the microphone, covering sporting events for Canton High School. His enthusiastic joyful voice enriched the lives of so many others, by not simply emphasizing ABILITY in people with disabilities, but by helping others see that potential in themselves. He helped all of us be better people.
