Mike was a great bass player and a friend. He loved his family dearly. We spent as much time on the gig laughing and having fun in addition to enjoying the music.

He will be greatly missed. Condolences to Mike's family.

I had the pleasure of working with Michael, I am so sorry to learn of his death. I know he loved his family, they are all he'd talk about and was especially close to his young son. when he'd bring him to band practice he could not move with out having him right at his side. Michael was one of the best musicians I got to perform with. He will truly be missed. My prayers are with his family and ask God to help his family heal.

To the entire Venable family I just want you to know I am praying for you during this your most difficult times. I know Mike loved his family and his family loved him. I still remember Mike walking up the street daily with his guitar in his hand. I use to think man he's weird until I go to know him and his passion. I pray that you all find peace during this most difficult time. You guys have lost a great person and I've lost one of my best friends. God Bless You all..
