Michael J. West

I'm so sorry to hear of Mike's passing. He was such a lovable person; very helpful to my Mom and I when I couldn't get to her quick enough. Loved seeing his forever smile. We will continue praying for the Family. You are missed greatly Mike!

My sympathy to Mike's family. Memories of playing cribbage, no matter how small the board was. God bless. Nancy

I am so very sorry to hear of Mike's passing. He was a good man, and will be missed.

Sending prayers for Mikes family that all your wonderful memories will ease your pain. Mike was a crazy and wild guy who always brought smiles when ever he was around man. Remember he is in a better place

Celebrating a life well lived. We will cherish the memories forever.

No matter what the situation was Mike could always bring a smile to your face. As kids I remember the times at the farm house and all the cousins running around. As we got older it seemed like the only times we got together was for weddings or funerals.....then eventually it was just funerals! But again, you could always rely on Mike to bring laughter to the surface! Not that I wished for a funeral, but man! I sure wish it wasn't so much time since I last heard your laugh .......RIP Mike....I know there is a lot of laughing happening in heaven these days!

Mike, your smile was like sunshine and always on your face, no matter what!
We enjoyed meeting on the hallway while living in the same apartment building as we all walked for exercise on raining days!
When walked outside weather permitting we also met halfways!Your body gave in to the sickness, but your joyous spirit will always live in our heart! You're resting in peace now in the dimension of light, no more pain,
no more suffering, only soft, healing light and your beautiful, everlasting smile! Good bye our dear friend! John & Effie Xanos from Ridgeview Apartments

I am sorry to hear about Michael's passing. I graduated from firefighting school with Michael in May 1977. I think went to Ramstein AFB in Germany for his first tour.

If you can see the photo that I inserted I am sure that you see Michael on the bottom right whereas I am on the bottom left.

I came across his obituary as I am trying to connect with my fellow classmates. God Bless and take care.

I am very sorry to hear about Michael's passing. Michael and I were in the same class at Chanute Air Force Base in Illinois for firefighting school in May 1977.

I just contact another fellow graduate, Rodney Lee.
I think Michael and Rodney shipped out to Germany for their first tour while I went to England. I lost touch with everyone after that point.
