Michael Makris

At Roger Williams

I was fortunate to know Michael his last year at Roger Williams. He lit up every room he entered and seeing him was a bright spot in my day. Reading this beautifully written obituary, it appears little changed over the last several decades. Clearly, he remained warm, caring, dedicated to putting forth his best and to being a bright light in the lives of everyone he met.

My heart breaks for his family, friends and colleagues. I wish you all peace and the gift of your many loving, happy memories. May Mike's memory be a blessing to all who knew and loved him.

Though he was my cousin, I only met him once.
My heart still breaks.

Jennifer Gutierrez, HEB Deli. I knew Mike when he came too Heb. Too the deli. He always had that smile always joking with me. He always gave me advice. He was a great customer to me. Always with that triva question . RIP MY FRIEND.

Mike had a huge impact in my life at a critical time. He encouraged, supported, and believed in me in such a way that I can/nor will ever forget!

I will never forget the stories! The Trivia! Your DJ-ing on our rides in your truck together! Your Nick Names for everyone! (I was Sweat) Your Passion and Love for life and people! The amazing people you introduced to me too. How you always found "The Best" or knew "The Best"!

Thank You Mike for allowing me to be a part of your life. I will treasure and hold dear your memories.

PS: Mike is "THE BEST"

Softball and cycling were 2 sports we shared together and mostly cycling. Mike always pushed me to be stronger and better cyclist. He always had nicknames for people. He called me FaceJock or Johnny. I moved to Dallas area almost 3 years ago and he was one of the only friends that would call and check on me periodically. That meant a lot that he cared and I know that Mike had that type of care for many of his friends and certainly his family. He was always asking me to come over and order him the online cycling gear from China that I found.

We had the wonderful pleasure of knowing Mike. We have fond memories of the Makris get togethers and the MS 150 rides. He exuded a gusto for life. You will be missed. Our condolences to his family and friends. Jeff and Linda Paul

RIP Mike. You left us too soon. Will never forget the many enjoyable, but cutthroat, Hearts games. Now you can Shoot The Moon with impunity! Keep on living large and entertaining all the heavenly hosts. You are and will be missed.

Full of life! Showed nothing but respect. Will miss the sports conversations. He loved his sports!
