I met Mike through a mutual friend and he bowled on our team and league for a bit. I'll miss seeing him at the bowling center and playing Words With Friends. He was one of the good guys, gone way too soon! My heartfelt condolences go out to the Batic family. May your memories bring you comfort and peace during this difficult time.

Mike was one of my best friends, age 2 to 12. St Mike's. Then my family moved away and we lost track of each other for 50 years. We recently were getting caught up on the facebook. Our moms were good friends, too. They both passed this past spring within a few weeks of each other.

I remember him as a great kid. Babysitting for Mark and him was always a special fun time for which I actually got paid. May he rest in the peace of Christ
