Such a warm, thoughtful young man with a great sense of humor. He could always cheer anyone up. I am sure he's making them enjoy themselves in heaven more! We are grateful to have known him, think about him often, and we remain so sorry for his passing. Ed Hurley

Dearest Michael ~
I still can't accept the fact, that you're no longer with us here on earth. You are constantly in my thoughts
and prayers and my love for you continues to grow stronger. You are so missed by every person that ever crossed your path. I miss your laughter, your hugs and your kindness. That smile of yours could
Lighten up any space. I miss it. I miss everything about you. May your memory be for a blessing
Due to my strong faith, I know that one day I'll see again. We will be together for all of Eternity. Amen

The Motzkin Family and Travis,
It's been 3 years, since Michael has been gone A bright spirit has left our presence, but he is always nearby. Grieve deeply yes...but not forever. He would want to see those he loves most, to once again have joyful hearts. Keep comforting one another with your cherished memories...until one day you will be able to speak of him always, with smiles and laughter, rather than only with tears. That beautiful day is coming-when we will be reunited with those we love, to never be separated again. Hold on to this promise in your most heart-broken moments. I ask God to bless you, and shower all of you with comfort, peace and much love.
"Bless you Peter, and family (including Cola, Puma and Evie). A bright spirit has left your presence, but she is always nearby. Grieve deeply yes...but not forever. She would want to see those she loves most, to once again have joyful hearts. Comfort one another with your cherished memories...until one day you will be able to speak of her with smiles and laughter, rather than only tears. That beautiful day is coming-when we will be reunited with those we love, to never be separated again. Hold on to this promise in your most heart-broken moments. I ask God to bless you, and shower you with comfort and peace.

Michael was one of the kindest most generous people I ever met. I always enjoyed the time I spent with him and Travis, and especially enjoyed their frequent visits at Morton's. He was a rare breed in that he was always in a good mood and always had positive things to say about others. To Michael's family and to his beloved partner Travis, I am heartbroken over your loss and I hope you are able to be strong in this time of tragedy. Michael will be greatly missed by many people and he will forever live on in everyone's memory.

Michael was a genuinely nice guy and he will be missed by all who knew him. I can still picture him as a teammate on the Lynnfield Pioneers football team. You can learn a lot from how someone carries himself on the football field. Michael was a great teammate and friend. My deepest condolences to his friends and family.
