It's hard to know where to start. Mike was the best friend I ever had. He would do anything for anybody and would help everyone, friend or stranger. He touched all our lives in a very special way. My whole family misses him.
I know when we all get to heaven, we will have a great big bar-b-que with friends and family and everything will be well..God Bless you Mike...You will always be with us in our hearts.
Your friend for Eternity, Jeff

Mike was a great guy and will be missed by many people, especially his family. His wife and children were always his main topic of conversation. He left this world way too early. May God bless his entire family during this very difficult time.
