I am so shocked and saddened to hear about Mike's passing. I got to know him through the Knights of Columbus, and he was about as friendly and caring as a person gets. His faith in God was an inspiration. He will be truly missed not only by his immediately family but also by friends like me who were blessed to have known him.

I was devastated when I heard that Mike lost his battle with COVID. I had the privilege of serving with Deacon Mike at St. Pius X Catholic Church. His faith in Christ showed in his bravery until the end. Cindy and I wish to offer our condolences to his family and friends. May he rest in the light of Christ.
