I found a poster from Michael's early boxing days in my father's files. My father was a promoter for a time. I thought I'd reach out in case the family would like a copy in case you don't have one. wish I'd reached out a bit sooner, sorry for your loss. Feel free to email me.

It is with deep sadness to hear the news Butte has lost one of its favorite sons. Mick was a wonderful person in all aspects of the word. A great patriot, a great family man, a great friend, a great coach, a great athlete. My prayers and condolences go out to all Mick's Family and Friends, may he rest in peace until that day!

To Mlck's family,
I am so sorry for your loss. I knew Mick from day 1 of grade school at The Ryan House (before the new addition at St Ann was finished) back in 1949. I have lived away from Butte for many years but have fond memories of special friends from that era. Also enjoyed visiting at class reunions for Butte Central class of 1961. Mick was a special person and will not be forgotten.
I will keep him in my prayers. Gail M Griffin

My heart is so broken, you fought so hard to stay. I know you are at peace, your faith brought you to a better place. The lessons you taught your grandkids will be passed to the next generation. When you walk through the gates of heaven be proud of a life well lived. We will stay the course down here and make you proud. I remember after a family friend passed away, you gave me a hug and said in strong gentle voice “He lived a good life.” I know that is your message to me, I can feel in my heart. I hear you Mick, I know this will console me once the pain eases a little. to you!

Mick and I were drafted into the Army at the same time. Somehow, we were able to rendezvous in Australia for R&R. Mick pulled the greatest prank of all time on me that I’ll never forget. Anyway, I loved Mick’s sense of humor, the twinkle in his eye and his kindness.
God Bless Mick.
