MH. Don't even know what to say. Since sixth grade up until high school we had amazing times. From all the party's to just the nights where we just hung out, not one bad memory. We are all going to miss you. And to Mrs., Mr., Jimmy, and the sisters, extremely sorry for the loss of such a great man. So many people are going to miss the happiest kid in Clifton.

Miss you man.

Mike, I miss you man, you've had me laughing and smiling ever since i met you in the sixth grade in Miss Hardin's class. I never thought such a thing would happen to such an optimistic man who loved life. You are by far one of the coolest people that I have and probably ever will meet. We all miss you, Rest in Peace.

Biggo—
I always thought of the Hamades as my family and you as another little brother. I can’t believe I’ll never see you again. I’ll never forget working with you at the pool and your dad’s store and all of the other things you used to do like watch endless reruns of Boy Meets World or when you got us lost in the woods at your Grandpa’s. I’m so grateful to have all of these memories and I will miss you dearly.
Love, Sarah

The pain that I feel after the loss of Michael is terrible. Almost infathomable how the Hamade family must feel however. His character and amazing sense of humor has greatly augmented everybody's as well as my own life. Forever in our hearts, souls, and memories. I love you Mike.

Dear Mike,
It was hard without you in Geometry today. It was even harder to sit next to your empty seat. Even though I only met you in September, I could tell that you were a kind, lighthearted free spirit. I miss you, Mrs. Stevens misses you, everyone you ever came into contact with misses you. It'll be awhile before we can get back into the swing of things without you coming into class five minutes late, without your trademark smile. You will be greatly missed, Mike, though you are never really gone at all.
