I knew Mike from when he worked at Weyerhaeuser, and also a few times he attended my church. He was always smiling and so pleasant to be around--always had a joke or something silly to say--always laughing and very friendly. We shared alot of breaks together. Everyday he would talk about his beloved dog and cat, as I am also an animal lover. I thought it was funny when he said how he moved a little bit down the road, and how his cat kept going back to the old house and he had to keep going back there to get the cat. He'd make a frustrating expression as he told this to me, making the story even funnier! One day we got off work early, and the next day he said when he came home early his dog & cat looked surprized as if they had been doing something mischievous and he almost caught them at it. He really loved his dog and cat. I hope a family member has taken those pets in, and they should feel Mikes' love and spirit in those animals. My condolences to the family~~~Rest assured that if you put your trust in God and His Son Jesus Christ, you have eternal life. Be comforted today in knowing that when you take your last breath in this life, the next breath you take will be in Heaven.

I just heard about Mike this morning. I am so very sorry to hear of your loss. I worked with Mike at Mountain Valley Water and Stonecipher for several years. He was always a good friend. I guess it was about 3 or 4 months ago when I saw him last. I don't remember what it was now, but I remember that he told me a joke. No matter what was going on, Mike always had some stupid, funny joke to make you laugh and feel a little better. No matter what your mood was, whether you were angry, sad, or just feeling bad in general, he was always ready with a joke. I haven't seen him much since we both changed jobs, but I always considered him a very good, devoted friend. I will miss him, but will never forget him--what a great guy. My heart goes out to you. It seems so unfair for us to have to endure so much pain. He will be missed by everyone who knew and cared for him.
