I am so sorry to hear that this life event happened at a time you never wanted it to. I am sure he is in Heaven watching over you every single day. May he rest in the best place he can ever be, other than beside you.

Gonna miss you big bro. You were a big part of what made me, me. Growing up, I always wanted to be like my primo hermano Magdiel. The mini-bike incident at the Chair Factory... "thats not supposed to bend that way!" The 1971 Orange Charger 440 R/T. Barry White. BASS to da MAX. Magpie always made you laugh if anything else. Glad we had that trip to PR back in `18. Gonna miss watching nfl games with ya primo. You always quietly took care of those who needed it. You were a good son to Felito and my Mama2 titi Emma. You were a good brother, father and grandpa. And you adored your beautiful wife. You always made known she always took good care of you. We will all miss you. There wont be another one like you. See ya on the other side bro. Love ya.

I'm heartbroken Someone so full of life, and bigger than life, will never be forgotten. Mike was one of a kind: resilient, dynamic, and caring. He loved my sister Audrey more than life itself and will always be with her in spirit. He's up there with the rest of our family, I'm sure you'll be able to hear him joking and laughing ... Just open your window...

I remember how close him and my father were. He loved my father and my father loved him. They were both army veterans in Vietnam. Mike was an awesome person He came to visit me a few years back with his dog and I told him I hope to see him again soon. I have so many memories of Mike I can't even list them all. I'm very sad right now . Rest in peace Mike. You will be missed dearly.
