Mike was always a stand up guy as far as I knew of him and this is a great loss in the gaming community. He will be greatly missed. Prayers for each and everyone and especially his kids who he spoke of often and adored.

So very sorry for your loss. I was sad not to be able to be there and support you and your family. I was able to watch the eulogy on-line and was so moved by Trent’s beautiful memories of his dad what a mature and well spoken young man. I am sure his dad would be proud of the strength he displayed. Rest In Peace Michael.

I will always remember Mike's amazement when Alyssa was born; him catching Trent as he giggled and slid off the roof of a playhouse; him laughing so loud at Austin's toddler dances. Mike loved his kids, and I am sure he is watching over them now. We were so very sorry to hear of his passing and our hearts are with you today as you remember the great meals, the good times and the love that you shared.
