Hey brother. Told the bear joke earlier this week so I had to post it on Facebook to bring laughs and smiles to all. Love you and miss you. This August has been so hard but I know you've been up there watching over me and next to me when I was in Ohio at my sister's service. Keep an eye on her and over me as well. Love ya bub.

Talked about you today for the first time in a while. It’s gotten easier in some ways and in some ways it’s gotten harder. I don’t have memories of your face outside of pictures anymore and that breaks my heart. It still feels like part of me is missing, I doubt that will change. One day I’ll see you again, leaning against that tree laughing. Until then I want you to know I’m happy, safe, and loved, three things you always made sure I was.

Another year brother, I still love and think about you all the time. I have a really good friend I met and his girlfriend is one of the biggest Lord of the rings fan, I Told her about you and I think you were much bigger of a fan. You and her have something in common though, both of you would beat me since I haven't seen the new trilogy of movies. I am saving those for the day we can watch then together. Miss you brother and I love you.

It's been 10 years today, and I stop by here hoping you check it and see how much you are loved still and how much people think of you. I love you still. You were and always will be my best friend, my partner in dumb jokes, breaking chairs that your mom always got mad at me for, getting into trouble and for sure my brother. I love you bud save a good joke for me when we meet again on day and know you help me more then you know.

Mike,
I never made it to your funeral. I tried to help you in those last days. I know you were struggling. The smallest things remind me of you. I can only imagine the greatness you would have acheived by now. You will always be a special thought in my mind.

I remember when you snorted Pixy Stix and sneezed purple, I remember you being the only person to tell us that our show was bad, I remember when you were louder than any other person in the Denny's that we escaped to, I remember when you ate all those crackers right before you had to sing. Michael, you are loved and you are missed. Happy Birthday, I'm gonna see Perks of Being a Wallflower when it comes out, just for you.

I still think about all of the great times we had together. All of the laughs, the tears, every moment we spent together were amazing. I look at where my life is going now, and I wish you were here to share it with me. through all the little moments, the good and the bad, I wish I had you here. I know you're watching over me, sometimes I can feel your presence.
I will always love you. I will always carry the great memories from middle school and high school. I'll always remember when you came up for my mom's second wedding.
We had some amazing time and I wish you were here to make some more. I miss you Mike. More than I ever let on, and more than I could ever express. I love you. - Jacob

I went and saw the last Harry Potter movie tonight. It made me miss you more than words could say. I still remember how excited we got the day you came over to show me the latest harry potter trailer, I believe it was prisoner or azkaban. We were so excited and the rest of the afternoon was just like it always was for us, and just like the books and movies we loved, it was magic. You were magic, our life together was magic. Regardless of everything else and everything that ever will be, I will always love you. You made my heart soar and time stop whenever you were near. I'm not sure I'm ever going to find love like that again, but I'm the luckiest girl in the world to have had it once. I miss you Michael, I always will.

I'm remembering how handsome you looked the last time I saw you! I remember the mileage you got out of my thinking I'd dropped a cigarette in the car when I hadn't even lit one! Glad I made you laugh!
July 4, 2010
Every day I go to work in the theatre district. Every day I carry you with me there because I know you would love it. I don't think it's any coincidence that I haven't been onstage since you left. Maybe one day I'll be able to shine for you again, but until then we will schlep to the theaters together and make everything else happen.
I miss you.

My brother :)
I don't know why it's taken me so long to write in your book.. I can still feel your presence all around me, and guess that means I don't have to update you on what's going on, because you are right here next to me along the way. This fall has been the toughest. My son Wyatt was born on October 2nd, less than 3 weeks ago. I thought it significant that he made up for the five day difference of the month and five days between our birthdays :) I love you so much, and I know you were right by my side in the delivery room, and watching over my little prince every day since. Happy belated 21st..I toasted you on mine :)
I love you forever my Peter Pan

Amyx,
I miss you so much--still. I remember your (last) favorite joke; the one that you swore was the best joke EVER!! Yes, the bear one. You told me the joke at the Theatre and when you finished off the joke your face was just so happy! Man you loved that joke.
I love you.

Kayla dedicated her show The 7 Year Itch to you at ICT. You both appeared in many shows over the years. My favorite was One FLew over the Cuckoos Nest-which you both received awards.That night was the last night I saw you -riding off on your scooter. Kayla loved you so much and misses you everyday.We speak of you often, we miss you and wish you were here.

My goodness Mike. I still miss you so much, I think about you everyday... Still hoping to see you riding your bike down my street and into my front lawn to greet me...Last night i went with my mom out to eat with one of her friends from high school...and it hurts me because their relationship was a lot like ours..."a love that could never be lol, you were to much like a brother to me..."and it sucks to know you wont be there as I get older....I'll have a spot for you right next to me at my wedding...I miss you and love you...please stay in my dreams, I love seeing you.

Michael-
Your mom brought you with her to see Kayley in Oklahoma! You would have been such an asset to the show. I could almost see you on the stage. I think of you every time Kayley performs and regret that you will never be on stage together. It means the world to me that your mom still comes to the theatre.

Missing you EVERY day.....today would have been your 20th b-day. I have so many people to care about and live my life with but I still can't stop the emptiness I feel when it comes to the daily experiences that remind me of you. Some things just will never be the same. I still make too much at dinner time expecting our extra family member to show up. Please know how much your "Other Family" loves you! Michael, you are always in our hearts. Celebrate for all of us up in heaven.....Make em' laugh! Love always, Susan & the whole Flanagan Family

You were my first true love and i still find it hard to believe that you are gone...we made a promise to each other that in 20 years we would lay in the grass and talk about where our lives had taken us...the promise will never become now....i find myself thinking of you all the time and missing your random phone calls and visits...when sweeny todd came out i started crying becuase you were the person who showed me that musical....i see people all the time who look like you and i get a little jolt of hope only to find out that it isnt you and relive the harsh reality that you are truely gone...
you were so special to everyone who knew you....
i love you and i miss you.

It's hard to believe that a year has gone by since you left us to entertain the angels. Mom and I spent the day together today and we know that you were with us. We went to some of the places that you used to like to go to and we watched the DVD of you in Hello Dolly. You were such a special person and an amazing talent. You are loved and missed more than you could ever imagine.

Gosh I can't believe it's almost a year mike....I think about you all the time and so does my mom...Everything around me reminds me of you....movies, places, etc... My family and I are going on a camping trip to HRSP...I think that was the first park we ever took you camping to...and I cant believe this will be the 1st birthday of mine you'll miss...Before you left us as you know I got engaged and the wedding is coming so soon...If you were still around you would most definetly be standing up there with me as a brides maid or something lol....cause we all know you liked putting on dresses...but at the wedding there will be a place card for you at my table to keep you in our hearts...I miss you so much...everyday...
p.s I also finally talked to the officer who was first on the scene and he told me alot about your case...and now that I know what happened I have more and more questions...but your not here to answer...
April 10, 2008
I had no words then, and I have no words now. I think about you every day, all day. Before I go to sleep I perfect everything I've ever wanted to say to you and about you to everyone I know.
But I can never find the words.

I received an e-mail today...I don't know who it was from...all i know is that when I read this I immediatly thought of you mike...
You never know when your guardian angel will be there for you...People come into your life for a reason, a season or a lifetime. When you know which one it is, you will know what to do for that person.. When someone is in your life for a REASON, it is usually to meet a need you have expressed. They have come to assist you through a difficulty, to provide you with guidance and support, to aid you physically, emotionally or spiritually. They may seem like a godsend and they are. They are there for the reason you need them to be. Then, without any wrongdoing on your part or at an inconvenient time, this person will say or do something to bring the relationship to an end.
Sometimes they die. Sometimes they walk away. Sometimes they act up and force you to take a stand.
What we must realize is that our need has been met, our desire fulfilled, their work is done.
The prayer you sent up has been answered and now it is time to move on. Some people come into your life for a SEASON, because your turn has come to share, grow or learn. They bring you an experience of peace or make you laugh. They may teach you something you have never done.
They usually give you an unbelievable amount of joy.
Believe it, it is real. But only for a season. LIFETIME relationships teach you lifetime lessons, things you must build upon in order to have a solid emotional foundation. Your job is to accept the lesson, love the person and put what you have learned to use in all other relationships and areas of your life. It is said that love is blind but friendship is clairvoyant
You helped me through a lot of hard times just as i was there for you...where you my angel?

Michael,
We'd not met, but I'm confident we would have with just a little more time. Even so, I feel that we are connected on some level, and I wish that I could have been there for you at your most painful moment. I know you are in a better place, free of pain and full of love. My heart will hurt for a long time, but I'm happy you have finally found eternal peace from this chaotic world. Rest in peace, Michael, and may you forever be wrapped in God's loving arms.

Mike,
Happy 19th Birthday!!
So I met you when you were a freshman and I can't think of a day back in high school when I don't think of a memory from chorus with you, or when you would come to my house and we would all sit around talking and having such a good time. I hope you know you will be missed greatly and you will be remembered forever. You always knew how to make people laugh and you had such a great presence!! I'll miss you riding by my house and stopping just to say hi and see how things are going.
I'll Miss You Mike!!!!
Love,
Jayme

Oh Michael,
Its been exactly a week and a day and its been extremely hard not having you around.Stepping into the church thursday made me realize alot...and wow so many memories came to mind when I was there. I could've told them all but it would only make me miss you more.I hope you know now how many people really loved & cared about you. You were a "big star" and im going to miss all our jokes and stupid laughs in the chorus room. Because of you i've progressed in both acting & singing. I couldnt have done it without you buddy. For now ill just say "Take care & see you soon." I miss & love you Michael <333

"God saw you getting tired, and a cure was not to be, so he put his arms around you and whispered "come to me." With tearful eyes we watched you, and saw you pass away, and although we loved you dearly, we could not make you stay, A Golden heart stopped beating, hard working hands at rest, God broke our hearts to prove to us. HE ONLY TAKES THE BEST.

Michael was a "shining star" at Seminole High School.He will be forever remembered by all those who were privileged to have known him. I will miss all the little chats that we had in the chorus room office-talking about the latest books that he had read or movies that he had seen. I know that Michael is singing in God's Angel choir and possibly even acting in a play!You will be forever in our hearts.

Dear Kathy- Mike and I wanted to keep Michaels' guestbook open permantly so his family and friends could visit it whenever they wanted to and continue to share their stories, memories and photos of Michael. Also they could meet people they didn't already know who knew him too. Last nights Memorial Service was perfect, he was obviously loved by many people. We hope everyone can use this as one of many ways to keep in touch and remember Michael.
Warmest wishes for you always,

Handsome, blessed with an over abundance of talent and now gone. A director would say Michael made an interesting choice on stage. Life is a stage and Michael's choice offers no encore.
I was burning a DVD for Michael of his performance in One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest (he played Billy Bibbit) when I got "the phone call" from a theater associate. And I broke down. I had just seen Michael, talked with him, hugged him and gave him an award at our Palmie Awards a week earlier.
He wrote me asking about the DVD. He said:
Thank you so much man. I have been waiting for this show since FOREVER! lol
Take care man.
And that was the last I heard from Michael. Damn it, Michael, if you loved the stage and life is a stage ... why?
God, I'm going to miss this friend. Take good care of him. I'll see Michael again somewhere, sometime. We'll watch the DVD together and laugh at the outtakes.

Mike...Tonight was the ceremony for you at anona...and i found it Ironic, sitting in a church...a place..i doubt you'd ever want to be...talking all about you and all of your crazy memories that you've provided us all with. It was nice though...but i think a lot was skipped over...yes you are so funny, so random, out there, a true actor every hour of every day, a true performer...ready at the drop of a hat...a true friend, honestly wanting others to be happy and upbeat along with you. but you were more than that too...I remember the first day i actually talked to you..it was at our freshman year chorus banquet...and u sat with me at the table...i always knew who you were and saw you in seminole singers, but we never had actually talked...i remember thinking you were so unique with your long black coat and slicked back brown hair...so classically handsome, yet mysterious! you impressed me always...I went and saw la cage and i remember you seeing me in the audience and really hammming it up and eyeing me with these really goofy faces during the show..so entertaining..you were amazing..as usual! In seminole singers...you were such a leader, but you never took yourself too seriously! The beginning of senior year i was going through a hard time...you would always come into Mrs fannons office while i was in there and talk with me, show me trailors to Movies you were excited to come out, and Told Eric and i funny stories...you also always talked to me one on one about things we were both going through...with complete honesty and blunt truth that i needed and wanted to hear so much..and only you could supply me with that! you were the only person who checked in with me on a regular basis to make sure i was doing okay when i had started a new medication..the only person!! that meant a lot to me, and i will never forget that! In english 3 honors in 11th grade...you really stood out. everyone else would volunteer to read and theyd simply read..but not you..no, you stood up and put on a show...captivating us all! you were so brave, so good at improvization...i admired that so much! i asked you ..how do u do that so well? how are you not scared?...you looked at me and said...who cares? dont be scared..you shouldnt be scared to do anything...I believed you really meant that...because you led by example...never being scared. Life may not have treated you so fairly at all times...but i feel you made a lot of AMAZING and FUN out of not so awesome situations! the truth is...u were funny and special, but you had your secrets too...and i wish i could've been there for you more i wish anyone could have..i wish you wouldve have known that there were other options, but i understand not knowing...i cant understand all of your pain or feelings...but i can understand that you had your reasons and i just will never forget you..you impacted so many people while you were here..and you have impacted that many more now that you arent here..."because i knew you, i have been changed...for good"

I only knew you through my niece Susan Flanagan, but I knew that you were very talented. I saw you in "Sugar" and thought that you had a brilliant future in showbiz.
You made a deep impression on my niece's family and were much loved by them. We will all miss you. I have prayed that God already has you in his arms and as part of His heavenly choir. Look down on those who love you and watch over them.

For Michael,
I started to think of how many different shows that I have seen you in, & the list was endless! You were an absolutely adorable young man, & so very talented. "Hello Dolly" seems like just yesterday, & your role in that show was so memorable & fantastic!
Even though we didn't know one another extremely well, we met in 2004, & you were always so sweet & full of personality...
I know that your family knows how much you were & always will be loved...

I remember changing your britches..I remember the loss of your Grandmother. And I send ALL of thoughts and prayers to your mother and family right now. I Hope you have found peace, but please know you will always be missed. I pulled a picture of you and Stephanie on the tricycle tonight...I will always remember the little rambuncous boy that would run through the house playing hide and seek. I feel the pitter patter of small feet in my heart as I write this. I know you are needed elsewhere...go "break a leg baby". And PS Tell Grandma I said HI!
Kathy, My thoughts are with you. We will ALL miss him and the way he touched each of our hearts.
Stephanie and Stormi are beside themselves right now.

My thoughts and prayers are with you. Michael was a handsome young man. I will always remember how impressed I was with him when I spent time with him at the SHS' 20 year high school reunion. He had a beautiful life ahead of him, and I am so sorry that he is gone. He will be missed. I believe he is in heaven now and watching over you and everyone he loved. We are all lucky to have known him, even if it was for a very short time.

Dearest Kathy,
I remember when you were pregnant with your son Michael and how adorable he was when he was born and how proud you were. You and I worked together with your wonderful mother at the VA. It has been many years since our paths have crossed and I am saddened by the news that you have lost your beloved son. In reading some many wonderful thoughts of him from his friends and family, he was quite a wonderful young man and I know you must be very proud of him. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family during this very difficult time. May your son Michael rest in peace.

We had such a fun time doing Barnum in '05. Michael, you were always so upbeat and fun to have around, and yet you were always focused and hard-working in performing your part. We will all miss you.

4 weeks with Michael in a catwalk following actors with a spot light made for some fun and interesting times and conversations. Such a perminant solution to a temporary problem. My sincere condolences to Michael's family and friends who I know love and miss him.

I met Michael only once. Typically when you meet someone on a single occasion you don't remember that person clearly. However, I remember when I met Michael vividly, no doubt my memory of him is enduring due to his radiance.

Micheal is sure to be missed and never to be forgotten. He was a wonderful and smart and funny person. I only knew him from school and I wish I would have known him better. May he Rest In Peace and stay in the hearts of those who love him.

Michael had a light in him that shined on everyone I am sure we all agree that the world is a darker place without him in it.
I can still picture him sitting on my couch laughing and joking with my daughter Summer. I know he will never be forgotten by anyone who had the honor of knowing him.

To Michael: Just a few weeks ago we were hugging and laughing at the Palmie Awards Party, where your talent was applauded by a huge group of friends. How did the world change so dramatically in such a short time? I can hardly believe you're gone. I know your Mom must have been very proud that evening at the awards party...I'm glad she was there to see that you were loved and respected by so many people from the theatre community. I laughed with you every night at your portrayal of a clown in the BARNUM show, but outside the makeup, the costumes, the silly red nose and big funny shoes, you showed remarkable compassion, sensitivity, team spirit, and great inner joy. I will always remember the fun we had. God bless you and all your family members at this time of heartbreaking sadness and grief. Please stay near to me always. I'll miss you so much and pray that you are at peace.

Mike, I can remember meeting you in 5th grade and since the first time we spoke we were joking ever since. I can remember every weekend I would spend the night at your house playing computer games and watching movies. We would do all sorts of stupid things with fire extinguishers, couches, doors, ditches, playing cards, sword fighting, and just about anything we could find to have fun with or get in trouble. Anytime I watch a comedy with Jim Carry or Mike Myers I am going to think of you or anytime I see The Lord of the Rings. Im going to miss you alot your my best friend and my brother. I love you man and once I get to you we can start all the jokes again. I'll miss you man a whole lot and so will everyone. I Love you Mike and miss you.

Michael will be missed in so many ways. We enjoyed working on several shows with him. He was always positive in stressful times, prepared to do whatever it took to make the show successful and willing to lend a hand to help whether it was his job or not. We can't believe he is gone, but know we will see him again some day. Heaven's definitely a crazier and happier place now that he is there!

Michael
Where to start....god, everyone always says that, but really....where do I start? We met in the summer before high school at Eagle Title. You were working there for the summer, and I had a doctors appointment, so my mom brought me into work. I remember I went to the "crackhouse" as it was called, to help you find a file. Funny thing was, I was the one to find it. haha I teased you about that for so long. Not soon after we had started dating. I remember you would come over and we would watch movies, and play pool and I would beat you, and you'd call for a rematch just so you could try and beat me back. I also remember the time you came to my house completely dressed in drag just to show me your costume for your next play. I've never laughed so hard. It was the best summer ever, spending it with you. You and your damn charm always got me, along with your smile. Over the years we grew apart, and then I moved to WA, but then recently started talking again when I made a trip back down to FL for a cousins wedding. It was so nice to spend time with you again. You always knew how to make me smile. Your laughter and smile could brighten any cloudy day.
When I heard the news, at first it was hard for me to believe. I wasn't sure if maybe you and your friends were just playing some cruel joke. But then, I called Jill to see if she had heard anything, and we both looked at your myspace, and we started to see all the comments. Sometimes, its just one of those things you can feel, but hope to god its not true. I prayed that is was all a dream. You were so damn talented, and I believe that there was still quite a bit for you to do here. I only hope that you have finally found peace, and that you entertain everyone werever you are with your amazing talents.
Michael Amyx, you are very loved, and will be greatly missed.
I only wish you could've stayed with us just a bit longer.
You will always be in my heart.
With all my love,
Tamitha

In the days that Michael spent at my house in Largo, going camping with Tamitha and myself to the springs. He was always making us laugh. He always had a smile, not matter how bad his day was going. His caring heart and smile made everyday a bright day.
Michael will be missed by family and friends. Although I think Michael felt that he had a family among all his friends. He is truly a unique individual - talented beyond his years and will be missed by all that knew him.
He touched so many and had so much to give. He will always be in our hearts.
With Love,
Joelle and Tamitha

Amyx was truly an inspiring person to me. Together we had so many conversations about theatre, films and everything in between. We would talk together during work about our inspirations and our troubles. And from the very beginning he had captured a special place in my heart forever. I will always remember him as not just my co-worker, but my Eileen, my Lupin and above all else, my friend.

Oh, where to start with Michael :-), I knew him ever since middle school days and everytime he was around, he was always making you laugh with his impressions, or jokes. He was always there for me , or any of his friends to listen to them or help them out in times of need. So many memories are stuck in my mind, from youth group meetings, or just going to the movies. You were the first person to get me addicted to Jones Sodas, and teach me things that I would have never known if it weren't for you. He was such a free spirit, and such a talented guy, who devoted his time to acting and singing. You will truly be missed by countless people, and no one could ever take the place of you. Rest in peace Michael. To his family, you are constantly in my prayers and on my mind. God Bless.

Michael,
You were an amazing young man, full of life and talent. You over came so many leaps and bounds during your life. You always shined and made everyone smile. You will never know how much you will be missed by many and how you touched everyone's life that you came in contact with. I hope you have finally found your inner peace. You will always be remembered. We will charish the time we spent with you and are glad we got to know you over the years. God Bless you.

Michael came back to visit me on a very regular basis after he left my seventh grade Social Studies classroom at Largo Middle School and moved on towards graduation. He was a brilliant student who always found learning to be a great challenge. His presence in my classroom never failed to make an o.k. day into a better day. His later visits always seem to coincide with my needing a good positive dose of Michael's outgoing warmth and enthusiasm.
I am deeply saddened that we now have to face a world without that bright and shining star, without a good and caring friend,
To Michael's family and friends, I share the pain of your grief. His life was a life of service and devotion and intelligence and charm. Somehow I feel that Michael will find a way to continue to brighten our days. Our bonds of love will keep us connected for eternity.
Godspeed, Michael, I shall join you later and we will pick up our conversations where they left off. You carry a part of my heart with you.
