The Lord is my shepard;I shall not want.He maketh me to lie down in green pastures:he leadeth me beside the still waters.He restoreth my soul:he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name`s sake.yea,though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,I will fear no evil:for thou art with me;thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies:thou anointest my head with oil;my cup runneth over.Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life:and I will dwell in the house of the Lord for ever.

Former manager, Dan Burns, captured Mike best when he said "Michael had an essence that made him stand out as a Favorite where ever he went." At the memorial service, brothers, Dan, Matthew, and I, in our Messages felt He was a success at many careers and had many true friends. You may rest in peace as your biggest success, your Daughter, Alexa is now in college.(Dad)
