Michael, or Uncle Mike as our kids called him, was instantly a loved member of the family from the first time we met him. He opened his arms and his heart to us from the beginning. We will always remember his mischievous smile and his readiness to try anything, especially if the kids asked! He was a great husband, and friend, to my sister. I've never seen her happier then during the time she was blessed to be with him. We will truly miss Michael and all his love, and know he will be with us through every adventure life has to offer.

People come into our lives, touching our face with a smile, sounding our voice with laughter, holding our hearts with their presence. Michael and Stacey have done that for so many of us. As Michael looks down on us from heaven, we will remember his kind words, his sweet smile and his loving heart. God bless you Stacey, in your time of loss. May our heavenly father keep you close during this time.

love and blessings to you and your family

The loss of our youngest brother has left a empty hole on our hearts. He is the most loving man I know. He would give you the shirt off his back to anyone that had a need. He also is one strong fighter. When God graced us with his loving soul they said he would never make it to five years old. He was allergic to almost everything and when you picked him up he bruised so easily. I was about four and I would sneak into his baby crib and stay far away from him so I would not hurt him in in any manner. Don't know how many times I got my butt tore up for that. Then they finally realized all the spankings in the world was not gonna stop me, and that I just needed to be close to him. We all were close to him as we are we grew up. And as with many families you find a spouse and have children and you start that drift where your immediate family takes up most of you time. You know that they are there, but you never think you don't have all the time on earth to re-unite with your siblings. This man was all about family. He adored his grandchildren and his nieces and nephews. He had a slew of great nieces and nephew.
He had a severe accident and sustained a horrible head injury. Once again he went to battle to live. After weeks of recovery he got to be himself. As we reconnected and have spent many a day hanging out on my days off. Going with each other to the doctor visit. Laughing and acting foolish. I so thank God that he gave us these last two years to love and help each other.
For what ever reason God decided he needed him more than we did.
He loved his family from the oldest Sister Sally (Baby Girl) (those were his pet names for me)all the way down to the youngest in the family.

Just remember there is no forever here on Earth.

We will so miss the love of the man that loved everyone.

Rest my brother it is just a blink of an eye and we will meet again.

Most love,
Baby Girl
