Melinda and family,
I got to know Micheal quite well when he would come and pick up Mathew and Mitchell from my home each day after school. He was such a great kid and fun to be around. He was always good to his brothers and you can tell how much they look up to him. He will surely be missed by many and especially his brothers and sister.
If any of you ever need anything please call anytime. Your family has a place in my heart forever.

" Take the world as it is ! With its smiles and its sorrow, its love and its friendship-its falsehood and truth-its schemes that depend on the breath of tomarrow! Its hopes which pass by like the dreams of our youth- yet, oh ! whilst the light of affection may shine, the heart in itself hath a fountain of bliss! In the worst there's some spark of a nature divine, and the wisest and best take the world as it is." --- Mike we will miss you..

Mike was such an incredible guy! He really meant so much to us and we are really going to miss him. His smile lit up the room and we loved having him hang out at our house! Dana and Mike just started being "girlfriend and boyfriend" after knowing each other for over a year and he was the light of her life! She is completely devastated and will miss him terribly. We were so blessed to have known him and know that some day he will have us laughing and smiling again.
We love and miss you Mike!
