I knew Michael when he was a toddler. His grandparents Denver & Vonita were neighbors and good friends of ours. May God's peace be with all of you.

Mike was the son of some of my best friends. Sorry to see him gone at such an early age. He is with our Lord now and pain free. Enjoying seeing his Mom.

Lara and family,
I´m so sorry to hear about Michael´s passing. Although I only met Michael a handful of times, a fun memory of Michael occurs each time I drive the road from Fayetteville.
I drove Lara and Michael back to Harrison, late on a school night. He told me he would not forget me because he had never met a girl so young who could drive so well. He was trying to smooth things over and Michael´s charm worked.
Thirty-plus years later, that memory of Michael still makes me laugh every time I´m on that stretch of road.
I hope your memories of Michael bring you both laughter and happiness each time you think of him. Hold on to the good times.
With deepest sympathy,
Amber & Hugh Thomas

Rest in peace, comfort & stillness sweet Michael. Thank you for trusting in me & sharing with me for just a small part of your time in L.A. Thank you for introducing me to your beautiful sister Tracy & family. Most importantly, bless you Michael for helping me to smile no matter the circumstance & for always making me laugh! Spending time with you was truly my pleasure! Rest now sweet soul! God Bless, Julia

Mike was a saving grace to me in high school when I was in trouble with my parents and grounded for the summer. He talked my Dad into allowing me to go with him to the Sonic for a coke on occasion that summer and I have to say they were some of the most fun I remember. Mike was a super fun and loving person. RIP
