Mike was a true and valued friend to me. I will miss him. He treated me with dignity and respect. I will always be grateful for his generosity towards the youth that I served in the sports arena. Mike knew we always didn't have quite enough money and always helped us out. I will miss his spirit, laughter and friendship.

Mike was a true friend to many of us law enforcement officers. He always understood we didn't have a lot of money and gave us great service and prices. He will be greatly missed!

Mike was a good friend and helped me make the Utah RunnnerTriathlete magazine and our races a success. He was always on time and had a good word whenever we were putting on our events. His passing comes too early and I'm sure many (including me) will miss him...
