Heartfelt prayers go out to the family. Iris and Michael were together for as long as I can remember. 59 years is nothing short of a true soulmate. Iris, God´s speed as you go through a difficult time. Love you. Your cousin, Renee. Columbus, Ohio

Had just seen Mike during the Peewee football season. He was there supporting Grands. Knew him to always be nice and kind and very family oriented.

Michael was always kind to me! I remember his love n adoration for his family, brothers, sisters, children and wife. As a cousin of his wife Iris he always made me feel a part of the family when we came to visit from Atlanta he will be truly missed by the World and the people within it!

Uncle Mike and Hottie Iris are sooo many of my earliest memories. I still remember my first driving lesson. I was sitting on Uncle Mike's lap with my feet on his feet. We were behind the wheel of his white thunderbird. Fast forward several years, I never forgot that lesson. Hence, my love for driving a stick shift. He grew a love and respect in me for our strong black kings. He and my Hottie are living proof of what true enduring black love really looks like. Please rest peacefully Uncle Mike.
