Mike was an Awesome & Special Man. Thankfully; his energy was infectious. He was a natural and exceptional teacher. Mike made Dad jokes cool. Thank You to his Family & Friends for sharing Mike with us.

Mike was a special person. He was genuine - genuinely nice, genuinely kind, and had a genuine, kind soul. I recall with great fondness arriving in the lobby of the State Farm office, to see Mike dressed up and greeting new employees. Talking with Mike on dozens of occasions, he was the type of person that just made you feel good. His spirit lives on, and I pray for Mike's family, and may his soul rest in eternal piece.

I learned so much from Mike at State Farm that I'll be able to use the rest of my life. His jokes are still told to my family. His joy will carry on with us. Go Dawgs!

I will always remember your amazing upbeat and gracious personality. I used to dread hearing one of your dad jokes. Having recently becomes a dad myself; your dad jokes will live through me. "You know, you can never trust stairs. Seems like there always up to something." High five God for me and keep them laughing.
