We are so sorry for the loss of Michael. We never got to meet him but as close friends of his Dad and Susan we felt like we knew him so well. No words can express the sadness of this. Just know all of you will be in our thoughts.

Michael was a wonderfully unique person and a great nephew. When he had thoroughly exasperated his parents, he spent time with us. We always had fun when he was over playing games and sometimes arguing about things that existed or maybe just argued over made up stuff. What I'll miss most is that Michael's breakfast of choice was to finish the almost empty boxes of cereal in my cupboard - no matter what the strange mix was. Michael you will be missed very much but will live on in our hearts always.

Michael,
I'm not even sure what to say, I've been thinking about what to write here for days and it's hard to come up with what your last words to somebody should be. There is so much I want to tell you, so I much I want you to see. I'm glad you got to meet your niece, I know how excited you were when you found out you were going to be an uncle. I wish you could watch her grow. We will make sure she knows who you were. I'm glad I got to watch you transform into a husband and father, you had come a long way from the little snot who used to get me in trouble as a kid. I hope you are now able to see how much you meant to us. There will not be a day that goes by where we will not think of you. Rest in peace, we love and miss you.

Michael,
It is impossible to imagine never seeing your smiling face again. We love you and will always miss you. Rest in peace knowing that we will always be here for Tonua, Erin and Brendyn. We have always been proud of the man you became, the father you grew into and the son that you always were. Although we will never be able to hug you again, your place in our hearts will never diminish.
Love you,
Dad & Susan

Tonua,
Saying I'm sorry for your loss doesn't do justice for such a tragedy. I can't imagine what you all must be going through, but you will get through this. I will keep you, Erin and Brendyn in my prayers for healing and comfort during this difficult time. Sending hugs from Cincinnati.
Your Cousin,
Beth Swaynie

Michael, I always had such a great time with you! My memories of us on the roller coaster down in south Florida will forever be engraved in my mind! I had more laughs that day than I can count! I love you and will never forget you!

Family, I am so sorry for this terrible loss! No words can describe the pain you all must be feeling right now. I am always here for you all. Many prayers are being sent up for each of you. Love you guys.

Although Michael has left his earthly body, his spirit lives on in all of us. Think of a special moment , an item, a song - and when you see or hear it, he will be there to brighten the day and make you smile. Let memories of the times you shared give you comfort, for his life was rich because of you. This message is for all that loved him, especially my Granddaughter Tonua and Great Grandchildren Erin and Brendyn.
Love, Nana

I am so sorry for your loss. I can't even comprehend what you are going through. May you be able to draw from God's strength during this time; may He fill you with His peace.

Dear Michael-
I cannot believe you are gone. I don't know if it's something any of us will ever be able to understand. You have been on my mind, every day... And all Ive been able to think of, when I think of you, is your smile. I love the way you would do something mischievous and just wait for someone to scold you... and if they did! Oh boy! There came that smile! It seemed as if it started in your hair, and spread down to your chin. Every line and wrinkle on your face seemed to grin. How could anyone be mad at you- and who would ever want to be? :) Your smile and your laugh were infectious. Thank you for our long drives, long talks, and our time in The Sun. It seems all too short- like I dreamed it... That little moment in time, will stay with me, forever. Thank you for your friendship, and for every laugh we shared. There were so many, but still- it could never be enough. I look forward to the day when we can be together again... hanging out, talking about life, talking about our days. Until then, I will tell my children about you- about all of the fun we had! You will live on, in our stories, and in all of our memories. I know you will be watching over all of us, laughing & smiling. I picture you, beside us, through all of our trials & joys... I love you so much, Michael. May you rest, in peace. Remembering the laughs, always. XO, Your Cousin

Hi Budrick, We miss you and were very proud of the son, man, husband and father that you had become. We miss you and will never stop loving you. We will think of you daily. I will miss your laughter, doing the "happy eyes" to get something that you wanted, and seeing you and Buddy working on Lego's together. You had so much more to offer to your family and the world, but you will never get to do these things, because you were taken from us too soon. We will always love you and will never ever forget you!
Love,
Mom and Dean
