Michael McQueen

I just now found out about McQ´s passing. I will always have fond memories of working with Mike, being invited to his retirement from AS, and the fact that he ALWAYS called and left a vm on my birthday. May you now rest in the loving, merciful arms of your Savior. Much love to Candi and all the family.

Mike McQueen... Gone too soon! I already miss his smile, competitive spirit, and zest for living each day to the fullest. His love for young people was so contagious. He loved kids from newborns to us old ones who would even tube, ski, and kneeboard with him. Mike and Candi would teach kids to water ski and when the kids were successful, they got to sign the water skis. There have been so many names of the kids, they needed to start a second set of skis.

From the beginning of our friendship, forged over some yellow towels, to our many summers spent together in Entiat, Mike was always there to lend a hand, joke, and laugh. It was in the small things that you knew Mike cared so much about his friends and family. I loved to watch him as he would get the kids jazzed for a water balloon fight. Most of all, I will remember Mike because he loved life!

I feel so blessed to have had an Uncle like Mike who poured into his family. One of my favorite memories with him takes place at Camp Candi (Entiat). The water was always best for skiing in the mornings however no one woke up that early on purpose. One morning uncle Mike really wanted to ski so he changed all of the clocks in the motorhome to show later in the morning to encourage me to get out of bed and start my day. It wasn't until we got in the car to go get a donut that I realized he had completely fooled me and it was in fact 6 am and not 8 am. Needless to say Uncle Mike got company skiing that day, and I still get many laughs out of his little prank. I'm thankful for the memories we share, all his love, and the laughs he provided.

Mike, you are so loved and will be terribly missed. I have so many memories, you have been in my life since I was so little. I don´t remember my life without you in it. A random one from probably when I was 9 or 10 was who could hold there breath under the water longest in mom and dads pool. Of course I never won but I got close. :)
Thank you for loving my sister so fiercely. You will always be to me my brother not brother in law. Here´s to you and all the waves, cuts and bike rides you are keeping yourself busy with up there. You lived life to the fullest. Love you.

The first time I met Mike was at his Mother´s(Shirley) home! My thought of him was "a fine young man".Since that time I also had the pleasure of being with him and Candi. I always will have beautiful memories of both of them!
