Over 200 people came to the funeral home, from all over the united states, some from Maryland, some from Florida, one from Detroit, even some from L.A. California.They were not just family members. They were people who had come to know our boy and had learned to love the beautiful qualities that we saw in him. He just didn't understand how much he was loved! Seeing all those who loved him make such effort to come lay him to rest has touched the hearts of his family. Thank you for loving our boy. Thank you for your support. We will always remember your love.

A student in my class last semester at ACM, I appreciated his insight, his energy, his humor, and more. I am saddened by this loss and will feel myself affected by it each time I enter into my classroom.
"May you never wonder if I follow you each day. To live on for me is what I desire. To guide you is what I will do. From above, I will watch over those I love and those who need me. Be peaceful and never say, I wish I could have.
You did it all and now I can rest."

Mike was one of my mathematics students last semester at Allegany College of Maryland. We called him Chris in class. From the first day, he brought a delightful energy to the classroom. He would banter during the lecture in such a way that kept everyone (me included!) on our toes. It was through his bright personality that several of the students formed a friendship. He worked hard to excel, and the others looked up to him for that. My prayers are with you all during your sorrow. -- Mrs. Devlin

Mike was a student in my class last semester at Allegany College of Maryland. He always brought so much energy into the classroom. He had a knack for language and a great storytelling voice. It was truly an honor to work with him. My thoughts and prayers go out to his family and loved ones.

To live in the hearts we leave behind-is not to die.
I am yours for all eternity. I am the Alpha and the Omega: the One who is and was and is to come. I, am the same yesterday and today and forever.
Because I never change, your relationship with Me provides a rock-solid foundation for your life. I will never leave your side. When you move on from this life to the next, My Presence beside you will shine brighter with each step. You have nothing to fear, because I am with you for all time and throughout eternity.
“I am the Alpha and the Omega,” says the Lord God, “who is, and who was, and who is to come, the Almighty
Terry and Family:
God never leaves us, so your dear child is not alone.

I miss you so much already, now knowing that I will never see you again, it is so so hard to say goodbye, but it's not goodbye, just till I see you next.
"Come to me all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For My yoke is easy and My burden is light."
The Lord bless you, and keep you;
The Lord make His face shine on you,
And be gracious to you;
The Lord lift up His countenance upon you, And give you peace."
I love you little brother, your big sister, Dawn

Mike was one of the best people I knew. I had the pleasure of living with him for a few months while he was waiting to go into the army. We have been friends for years. We had many great memories. I am thinking and praying for each and everyone of his kids, family members and friends that are suffering. God Bless. Natalie Coffman
