Michael Ivar Pearson

I just now heard of Michael's passing and wanted to send my condolences. Betsy, you are in my prayers. May you find peace and comfort in the memories of the life you shared.

Betsy, I will always miss michaels smile and laugh. I will also miss "don't take this the wrong way" and "I understand that!!" You are the angel he needed and took wonderful care of him. Hugs

I love you more Sis

Betsy,
Mike was truly my best friend and my hero. He fought the cancer battle with such conviction. He couldn't have done it without the love and support he got from you. You made sure he had everthing he needed and wanted. I will be forever grateful for what you did for my brother. In my eyes Betsy, you are as much a hero as Mike.
You will always hold a special place in my life.
Jerry

To Betsy, I want to thank you for loving and caring for my baby brother with such a devoted itensity. You brought so much love and joy to his life - forever vigilant - never waivering. You gave him strength when he had none. You put that spark in his eyes and such a beautiful love in his heart. I am so grateful he had such a beautiful and loving caring woman to spend the best part of his life with. I am grateful to him for bringing you into our family. I am so sorry you have to endure this kind of pain, loss and heartache. I miss him so much. And I love you, pretty lady, for all the joy you gave him. Forever your sister, Susan

Betsy, Brian and I are sorry to hear of Mike's death. I can still see his picture in your office and when I asked you who that handsome State Trooper was, you said, "That's Mike, my husband!" Then you smiled one of your contagious smiles! May you always have memories of your unconditional love and friendship for each other. No words can take away your pain but know that you are in our thoughts and prayers at this difficult time.

With our deepest sympathy,
Lenore & Brian St.Pierre

I am so so sorry to hear of Michael's passing. I also lost the love of my life to cancer, and although it been 17years, there is not a day that goes by that I do not think of my soulmate.

I met the Pearson family when I was in the 3rd grade, and loved them all. I wish I could have made it to the survice, I didn't find out until that afternoon. I am thinking of you all.

Tom and I are deeply saddened by the news of Michael's passing. We will always remember his welcoming smile, his infectious laughter and that big red Santa's hat he loved to wear at 'the party'.

My thoughts and prayers are with you in your time of grief. May your memories bring you comfort.

Mike was one of the best Troopers I ever met. My heart and prayers are with the Pearson Family.

Dear Betsy and Pearson family,

We are so sorry to learn of Mike's death.

His wonderful smile, gentle ways, and adventurous spirit will forever be etched in our minds.

Thankfully, we have many happy memories of Mike, the Pearson clan, and the Moosehead family we became and shared.

We treasure those memories and the numerous adventurous or perhaps misadventures.

Michael was a great person and friend and he will be forever missed. We know that your heart is broken and wish that there was something we could do or say to make that pain go away, but only time will help. And though your pain will never 'go away' it does change and in time you will be able to smile at your memories of Michael.

OUR BROTHER TO SUFFER NO MORE
A Trooper stands ready,
Maine's citizens he protects.
A wife at home,
he never forgets.

Crimes and destruction,
the victims he calms.
Missing holidays with family,
but he has no qualms.

For a Trooper's family,
always put to the test,
stands strong behind him.
He's one of the best.

Mike Pearson was one,
a Warrior, among others.
A Maine State Trooper,
Together, always Brothers.

On Earth, his pain,
with dignity, he bore.
In Heaven our Brother,
to suffer, no more.

Rest in Peace, Mike. Our sympathies to the Pearson family.

Although I didn't work with Michael a long time, I will always remember how he was always smiling and happy. It was a privilege to work with him and he was a true inspiration to the folks around him.

Betsy,

Even though I never got to meet Mike, I know what a wonderful relationship you two had, and we were saddened to hear of his passing. Our deepest condolences to you and God bless you.

Jeff and Vonla Murdock

My deepest sympathies to the Pearson family. I had known Michael through his brother Jerry, whom I graduated from Madison High School in 1978. You are in my thoughts and prayers.

When I think of the phrase "Maine State Trooper" Mike's name and face will always come to mind. Mike told everyone that all he wanted to do was be a Trooper and although his dream was cut short I was privileged to work with Mike and watch him enjoy that dream. For those of us whose lives Mike touched we will forever be better persons. Let the smiles of the memories help with the grief of the loss. We will remember you always.

Betsy and Mikes family my heart goes out to you all. Mike was like my brother when we were growing up. As we got older our frendship grew all the many trips to Waterville to go dancing with Becky, Ben, Tom, Jerry myself what a good time we would have. I will never for get one Halloween many years ago with my brother Will. Oh Mike you were such a dear friend, I thought of you often over the years.
I my heart and thoughts forever.

To Mike's whole family, The Seamans' Family are thinking of you all and pray strength will flow your way. Mike was younger than I am, but Jerry and I grew up together in Athens and I send out to him and his whole family our deepest sympathy. It ages us all to think our childhood friends are passing.

My deepest sympathy to you and your family. I knew Mike briefly when I worked at the DA's office and he was the Court Officer. He was truly a wonderful, kind, genuine down-to-earth man. I'm grateful I had the chance to work with him and know him. May your memories comfort you always. Sincerely, Jo Ann Murphy

So sorry to hear of your loss. Memories in Athens and Moosehead with Michael and his family will always be held dear to me. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.

Mike & Betsy are very special friends to us.
We boated,camped,vacationed,snowshoed and spent birthdays and holidays together. They're strength was a testament to their love. Live strong was their motto. As you see, they fought this courageous battle for 15 years. You'll live strong in our minds for a lifetime. We'll miss you our dear friend!

My heartfelt sympathy to Mike's family. He was well-liked by his classmates and admired by all. May your memories of Mike help get you through this difficult time.

This man was as much a HERO as anyone in my eyes. We are close in age and could wish I was half the man this man must have been. God bless the family. Patrick Moir. Millinocket Maine.
