Michael Laird

Mike was an unwavering Steelers fan! True fan! Thanks for all the silly chats-- especially the story of how you fell for Mel , with a captivated audience-I believe it was 2019 when we asked how you guys met.

Mike was one of our biggest supporters, and we were honored to call him a friend. We´re so sorry for your loss. We will deeply miss Mike and the music we shared together.
With love,
Ky & The Jellies

So sad to hear this news. For many years we considered Michael Laird to be a part of the Milkies family and still do. We were sad when he decided to move back to Utah but were excited for this next chapter of his life to begin. Through the years he kept in touch and we were happy for his successes. He was a good man and will be missed. Our deepest sympathy goes out to his family. Sincerely Wendy Burton and Milkies family

Mel I am so sorry to hear of Michael's passing. I send my deepest condolences! Love, Judy Hansen

Mike Laird was a very resilient young man. Especially when it came to playing lacrosse. He was silent but deadly on the field . He played a hard game and like a lot of us plowed through the injuries. Unpretentious in life as he earned the admiration, respect and loyal friendship from his teammates on the University of Utah's Toulouse Lacrosse Club. Laird was not only a highly skilled Lacrosse player but also one of the most likable, unpretentious, friendly and cool-headed gentleman to ever join our team. He had one of the fastest most accurate shots in the West and would pick the corners of the net around the goalie. An unselfish team player who always kept his composure and could score at will. Laird took pride in assisting other players with a guick accurate pass. He consistently played a clean yet aggressive game. His conduct off the field was exemplary as well. He ranked high on the camaraderie scale. In my all my years of coaching, recruiting and playing lacrosse for the University's program, I can honestly say they just didn't come any nicer. He was an integral part of our team and will be missed by the friends he made through the creators game and the many lives he touched along the way. His loss is truly heartbreaking. Condolences to family and friends. Truly One of a kind. I will be out of the country in June and regret having to miss his Memorial Service. However I will remember to play a round of golf and plant a tree in his honor.

You left us too soon Mikey but you lived a very full life along the way. You will be missed. Thanks for the laughs you gave all of us. R.I.P. my friend.

Sending comfort to all that know and love him, glad I´ve been to Melvins and experienced it! Hugs and love

Your kindness and always willing to help others was a blessing not many people possess. We will miss you and pray for strength and love to all your family and friends, ThankYou for bringing Melvins to us in Heber!!

Missing you brother

I will always be grateful for our random lunch dates, walks to and from Mel's, your huge smile, welcoming hugs, endless wise cracks and being able to call you a friend! Heber will not be the same without you! Love you Laird
