Mike was a dedicated and hard-working police officer and tough as nails. I had the privilege of working with him for six months when I was a new detective in Narcotics. He was kind, patient and very skilled. Even the bad guys liked him. May he be in Heaven now pulling outrageous pranks on Steve Metros and telling all the other angels that he never owned shoes until he left for the USAF.

Mike: I grew to know you through my deceased husband Merle Nading!! I know Merle thought so much of you and I did too. Thank you for the friendship when I worked at the DPD, you always had a smile for everyone! Rest in peace.
Warmest, Pat Nading-Amman

Miguel was a close friend. Good cop, and outstanding sense of humor. He nicknamed me Jughead, and it has stuck with the remainder of my life. He even had a judge calling me that name. God Bless You Mike. RIP.

Rest in peace Miguel. You were one great cop. You and Bill Lovato who preceded you in passing both being from Watrous is amazing. Say hello to Bill when ya get upstairs. Prayers for your family. Both of you being DPD brothers will not be forgotten.
