Michael Calhoon Memoriam

In Loving Memory of Michael H. CALHOON 12/09/1982 03/18/2001
Ten years ago today, Heaven received a precious gift. Our tears still flow for being without you, but with the strength from family and friends we are able to share memories of your smile, laughter, and your love of life. Everyday our thoughts are of you.
God saw you getting tired and a cure was not to be. So He put His arms around you and whispered "come to me". With tearful eyes we watched you, and saw you pass away. Although we loved you dearly, we could not make you stay. A golden heart stopped beating, hard working hands at rest, God broke our hearts to prove to us, He only takes the best.

Mike was a wonderful person that is missed by so many. It's hard when people you love or admire leave us...but he's still here in every wind that blows and every ray of sunshine. Save us a spot buddy!

Feels like just yesterday we were watching him walk the field as homecoming king and we were watching him bang the drums with the guys. Always in our hearts and never forgotten.
