Mr. Ken and Mandy,

My Mom and I send our deepest condolences for your family's loss. One thing I will always remember about Mike was his passion and drive for photography. When he looked at the world through his camera lens, his love for life was at its greatest, and he ways seeing the beauty in everything.

Mike and Chuck used to hang out, and the first thing Mike would do when he got to our house was head for the pantry. He knew I kept Campbell´s chicken noodle soup in there for him, and he loved eating it cold out of the can. Hilarious! Then there was the day he showed up after shaving off his eyebrows. He always made us laugh! One Halloween, Mike was riding on the running board of our pathfinder while he and Chuck were flirting with girls in the neighborhood. Hysterical when JPSO escorted them safely to our driveway. Mike this world will miss you, but we know that you are in Jesus´s loving arms, probably cracking Him up. Love and prayers from the Stall family.
