Every time I hear a Lynyrd Skynyrd I think of you and always say hi, and it puts a smile on my face. Too many memories from when I was just a kid to write about. Thanks for being a big brother. Love you and miss you! Dana

I just found out about Mike's passing & my heart goes out to Becky, the sons & the rest of the family. I was the drummer in Metalisha with Mike & have so many great memories rehearsing, playing gigs & just hanging out. Mike was always fun to be around & I really enjoyed working with him & the rest of the guys on songs. My deepest condolences.

HELL YEAH! T-R-O-U .... B L E! YEAAAAH! I'm so sorry for everyone's loss. He was a great loss to so many people, no doubt! I'm grateful for all the times I did make it out to see them all play. I only wish I would have been able to go more often, they were such a great band and I hope the rest of the band moves on to more endeavors in the future; keep me posted please! Thank you. Remember me always, your little friend .. JuneBUG!!! From one Freebird to another ... I'll see you in heaven my friend!

It was one hell of a ride brother. We will jam again someday. Until then I guess you'll have to settle for Jimi, Stevie and Eddie for guitar players. Hundreds of stages we played and I was proud to stand with you on each one of them. God please give Cherokee's family strength through this difficult time, amen. Until we meet again. RIP my friend.

My heartfelt sympathies to Becky and the family. Mike and I grew up together and I have some great memories about the crazy things we did as kids. Him and I were the only 2 left handers out of all the cousins. Say hello to all our family Mike including my mom and dad and brother. I will miss you cuz!!!

Greatest sympathies and condolences to Becky and all of the family. I will forever cherish the memories I have of Cherokee. From being a Vicious Cycle diehard fan to singing backups with the band. I'm forever grateful to Cherokee for believing in me.
