Many known him as Michael, He was Mike Dee aka Thomas to us....My brother from another held me down always. We laughed together through thick and thin and through many ups n downs.We hadn't talked in over 7 years and I couldn't understand why but I loved him unconditionally. A piece of me left when I got the news that you were gone. How I wish you could see your GODson now, we talked about you often. I cry and laugh at the same time because I know if you were beside me you would say u big dummy come on Brian....I'm gonna truly miss you brother.

I was devastated when I heard the news He was such a humbled and grateful person! With all he was going through, he always welcomed us with a smile and that made me smile simply because he had SO much to not smile! He made me appreciate life better and I am a better person for meeting him
