Not sure what to say?

I became acquainted with Mike through Mikes' parents, Jon and Gayle when I lived and worked in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Mike was just a little boy at the time, but he was a handsome and wonderful little sprite. His parents were wonderful people, too. I last talked with Mike when he returned from Desert Shield/Desert Storm. I am glad to read Michael served his nation honorably in the Army. Now that Michael has crossed that high golden bridge from time into eternity and met his Lord and Savior Jesus...

Condolences to the family. A great soldier and American, Pro Patria

Good man, fierce warrior, exemplary leader! Pro Patria!

To Mikes family, I'm sorry beyond words for your loss.. Rest easy brother, I'll always carry the honor and privilege of having served with you in Djibouti and Iraq. 4th Battalion 31st Infantry Regiment PRO PATRIA.

Mike you were a good friend even though we didnt see battle together I knew you had my back. My you rest in peace my brother. We will meet again.

4-31 INF UNIT CREST

We was brothers on the battlefield with 4-31 INF/ Charlie Company in Afghanistan 2001-2002/Operation Anaconda plus other follow on missions. And like we have talked about before and most important to both of us we will always be brothers in Christ forever. PRO PATRIA and CLIMB TO GLORY!!!!

I had the privilege of knowing Mike and serving with him while assigned to 4-31 Inf Regiment at Fort Drum, NY. He was a caring, passionate leader who cared deeply for the men he led in both peacetime and combat. His honesty and candor were the attributes that set him apart from others. We are thankful for the time we had together here on earth and know we will see our Brother again in heaven. Rest In Peace Brother. We love you and will miss you. Pro Patria, Polar Bears

With Heart felt sympathy to Mike's family. Thank you Mike for serving the United States of American. You were a special kind man which I am a better person for having known you. God Bless you.
