The military burial ceremony for SP4 Tidd was moving. From the US Army burial detail to the local patriotic organizations present, the release of white birds as a gesture of endless flight of a worldly spirit and God-fearing soul was spiritual. In my mind, Mike had all the can-do attitude a CPT would need, so in my mind he will always be a honorary CPT. Airborne! God Bless him and all that he influenced. T.K. Cloonan, 201048LApril2015

Mike was my sons first soccer coach. I gave him a hand as an assistant and we hit it off due to both of us serving in the military. He was a nice and kind person. The kind of guy you would give you his time even if he had none. He was definitely taken from us to soon.

Mike was a good friend and a good man! He meant so much to our family and he will be sadly missed. We were blessed to have him in our lives.

Mike was genuine, a nice man. While he was Reverend at McDonald United Methodist Church my family enjoyed his Sunday sermons. He performed the Christian sacrament of baptism on our son. He took time out of his busy life to counsel me during a rough time in my life many years ago and for all I am eternally grateful. The deepest of sympathies to his family and friends, along with Prayers for love and comfort. Rest Easy Mike. Sincerely, Kelly (Ackman), Valas & Devlin Lee Homan
