To my sons, Michael Jr. and Steven Amador, I am sorry for the loss of your father at such a young age. He was taken far too soon from you. He will now look down and watch over you and all our grandchildren.
To Brad, your mom and Mike are now together and will also watch over you.
You all need to stay strong.

I have known Michael for about 30 years; at one time we were very close. I know how much he cared for Brad, whom I also met, and what a bright and powerful force Mike could be. I am sure he informed many of us, as he did me, by displaying his insight and quick wit.

To my beloved nephew, Brad. Tayler and I are deeply sorry for your loss. We sincerely hope that you learned from Mike, as he was wickedly smart and insightful; that you enjoyed his sense of humor; that you know he was delighted and honored to be your dad when he adopted you. I hope you and your brothers find peace during this sad time... hang on tight to your loved ones... as this life is a gift and can be taken in an instant. Much love to you now and always, Tracy & Tayler
