I was fortunate enough to meet Mike just last year working with my Uncle Chuck McIntosh. It was a pleasure to work with Mike on a project that only he would want to help with. He was a kind soul and a hardworking man. I feel blessed having known him even for a short time. Peace be with all who cared for him.

To The Scobie Family,
Mike, Matt and Micah helped us prepare and conduct numerous auctions. Mikes work ethics and personality were outstanding; it was easy to see that he passed these fine qualities on to his sons. We will truly miss Mike’s presence in our lives and most of all his friendship. He became an important part of our Auction Family.
Please accept our heartfelt sympathy.

To all of those who loved Mike, altho he is not with us physically, he will be here in the wonderful memories he has left behind. A true individual he was. I hope knowing that so many cared and loved him, will help his children realize that love will be passed on to them. Knowing that so many care will help easy your pain.
