Mike David Smalling

Mike was my Dad, so every moment I shared talking to him was special and important. No matter what the subject, situation or moment, he always found a way to make me think and laugh. Every time he communicated with me, he made me crack up with his sense of humor and I always knew that was where I got mine from. He never let a moment to teach me something go by without taking the opportunity to point out everything there was to take from any given situation. I always found it very easy to relay something he would tell me to someone in my life and make them think in a deep way about it or laugh just as hard as I did when he said it to me. I learned perseverance from my Pops and I'm extremely proud of him and the things he did and achieved. I'm proud to be my Dad's son. I know He and Bret are together again. Thank you so much for everything you've given and shown me and taught and continue to teach me and give me Dad. I hope to make you just as proud. I love you. I'll see you later Pops..
Love,
Chris
