Debie, Steve & family,
We were out of town when Mike's wake was held but wanted to extend our sympathy for the loss of Mike.
There are some great memories growing up down the street from your family...playing in the field, eating green apples, sliding in the ditch & all the night games. Although we haven't kept in touch through the years, we were saddened to hear of Mike's passing. May you find peace in the many memories you have of Mike.

I gave Mike some golf lessons many years ago at Rose Park Golf Course. Mike became a friend, not just a student of mine. He had great passion for the game of golf. I always enjoyed talking to Mike when I would bump into him through out the years at various golf courses. He was a wonderful person. He was way too young to leave us. My thoughts and sympathies go out to Mikes family at this very difficult time.

Dear Herb,
We were so saddened to read of Mike's passing.
We have fond memories of you and Mike helping to make our homes beautiful. I'd say I needed just a little more dab of this or that to make the color right and you and Mike could do it. They don't do that anymore....
You worked in our homes, but also became dear friends.
I know you two had great times on the golf course together and were so very close. It never seems right to lose a child. It seems out of the natural order of things.
Thanks for being a part of our lives....

I met Mike in 1979 and was able to get to know him quite well over the years, I moved away and only spoke to Mike once since, but I can honestly say a day didn't go by that I didn't think about him and all the times we got to spend together. He was a great man and I will never forget him and it only makes me look for the day when I will get to tell him this in person. I don't know if you remember me Steve, but I am so sorry for your loss and know you were blessed to have a brother like Mike.

To my daughters, Candice and Wendy, I know that this has been a very difficult time for you both and you have been in my thoughts and prayers. I sincerely hope that you will find some peace now. I am so impressed by your strength, your independence and your forgiving ways. He will be a guardian angel for you both.
All my love forever, Mom

Mike you are a wonderful person and was someone I (obviously) will never forget and who will always have hold of my heart strings. God Bless you, Mike, you gave me one of the greatest gifts you could have ever given me - our beautiful twin girls and thanks for all those wacky, wonderful and sometimes wicked memories.

Janet, Herb, Debie, Steve, Peggy, my thoughts and prayers are with you all at this most difficult time. I admire the way you all cared for him, stood by him and was always there for him. You have my love and best wishes always. May your memories help you through your grief.
hugs, Mary

Dear Steve and Peggy and the rest of Mike's family, I'm sorry to hear of your families loss with Mike's passing. He was a wonderful person to my family and children helped with Kenna karate lessons and running her electric car. She loved that car because it had been one of Mikes collection. My prayers are with your family.

I was a friend of Michael's many years ago. I lot of fun trips to the lake with Steve McBride's boat that had a hard time staying afloat.

I was very sad to hear Mike had passed away he was so fun to hang out with in those carefree days. He was always so funny and laid back. I remember his wonderful sense of humor and his kindess.

My prayers go out to his family, I am sure he will be missed!

Steve, I was so sad when my dad called the other day to let me know of Mike's passing. He was such a wonderful person and I visited him often when I came home from college. Your family is in our prayers at this time. Much Love, Cody, Kenna, KyLee, and Sawyer Wilson
