Michael Keith Ballard

Julie, Mike was such a blessing but of course you already knew that. My son and I are honored that we got to meet him and that when there were issues he took care of things promptly etc. Such a great person with a great sense of humor and down to earth. Glad he brought you along with him so my son and I got the honor of meeting you as well. Sending you love and hugs.. I'm so sorry for your loss.

I never met Mike personally, but over the internet I could tell what a remarkable person he is. I truly valued the friendship that was made with both Mike and his lovely wife Julie.
He will be missed by many.

Julie, I only met Michael once but knew right away he was a keeper. I'm glad that you found your person. I only wish you'd had longer with each other. May your family, friends, and faith see you through this time. Hugs Julie

What a wonderful Facebook friend Mike and Julie have been to me .His friendship has meant a lot and I'm still in disbelief . Mike helped me with computer issues , and I enjoyed his posts , and jokes .
I'm sure he's out of pain and I do know we shall see him again someday . I know Mike was a wonderful husband, Father,Grandfather and friend to many . May he now have eternal peace without pain . Praying for the family as they grieve. ✝❤

Mr. Mike was always so wonderful to me as a young girl. I remember the days when I was sick and my mom would take me to work and there he would be a smile on his face even though I didn’t feel the best. It was through him that I met one of my good friends, Journey. I remember the times her and I would be running around the house, and he was always so welcoming.

I always thought of him as Michael, because that’s what his Facebook profile had his name as. And my husband’s name is Michael! Always thought it was pretty cool that they were Michael & Julie, and we were Michael & Julia. After seeing Julie saying things about him, I saw that she called him Mike. So after that, I started calling him Mike. But for some reason, he was still always Michael to me!
I see & post so many things that I know he would have commented on! Dang! I miss him so very much! Love you Julie! ❤❤

I think both you, Mike, and Julie, were lucky to find each other. You, Mike, made your wife smile and not beat on her staff. That made us lucky also. I am sure, Mike, that you were a big reason for that smile on her face. It has been nice having you share this journey you both just took with all of us. A brave man and his brave wife. Love and memories.

He loved his Wordle game on Facebook! I took over for him when he got sick for the last time. I will always remember his good attitude! ❤

It's hard to put in just a couple sentences, but to me Mike was a Great man, Friend, and Neighbor. I'll never forget the first day we moved into this neighborhood 6 years ago, Mike and Julie were the very first neighbors to welcome us, he will truly be missed by all.

In loving memory of a wonderful person. We will miss you always.

Such a great guy with the biggest smile and heart. Mike is and was such a loved fellow and his love will forever be in our hearts. Thanks for the smiles until we meet again.

May the love of friends and family carry you through your grief.

I loved that man for almost 30 years and really wanted another 30 more. He was so special and will be so missed not only by family but countless friends. He was generous, witty, and loving. He gave his all to every challenge that faced us. Thank you for all the kind words... it is comforting to know that Mike touched so many lives. That legacy was important to him.

Julie, I´m so glad you had someone who made you so happy for so many years. My thoughts are with you and the rest of Mike´s loved ones. He touched a lot of lives.

Sorry for your loss - it was a pleasure working with him these past 15 years - always patient and managed to have a great attitude through all the craziness!

I'll never forget his huge smile and even bigger laugh. Aleta was always so proud of her "little" brother and I hope you are now together eating, drinking, and laughing it up. I'll never forget how you and Julie welcomed me into the family, it meant so much to Aleta and I. I'm so sorry for your loss, Julie. Give everyone a big Mike-sized hug for me.

I am so sorry for your loss. Sending lots of hugs.

Mike: Your historic stance and battle through your final challenge moved me beyond words. I never met you in person, but the memories you left in my heart will live with me as I take my last breath. Your courage care and tenderness as you were an amazing husband to Julie will guide my footsteps for many years to come. As I now have such an amazing role model to guide my relationship with my soul mate and loving husband Michael. Thank you for the many seeds you planted in my heart!

Julie and family, I met Mike my first day at CDS. New person in a new town. He always made me feel welcome. On to Farmville, Facebook, renovations, his family and his Bazingas on wordle. He will be missed. Sending lots of love and prayers.

Remembering the day we were cleaning out the attic and I thought I saw a bat flying g around the room but it was just Mike´s shadow in the light of the ceiling fan - he got a good chuckle out of that - remembering that time and that day will always make me smile. Love you Jules.

I never had the pleasure of meeting Mike in person, but I enjoyed our banter on FB where his wit & wisdom were on display. I know this works could sure use a lot more like Mike. The love of his family, and especially for Julie, was obvious. I can only imagine the wonderful reunion going on right now. RIH, Mike...

I will miss this big guy so much! We never met in person, but became close on FB. I will miss his witty humor. Julia & Michael Faulks

Julie, I am so sorry for the loss of your hubby. He sounds like a wonderful person. My heart is with you
