I am absolutely devistated to hear about this! I knew Mike from T-Ball all the way through High School graduation from Bella Vista. Since graduation I have moved up north and had not heard anything about this tragedy! Mike was such a great guy, I remember even way back in T-Ball he was a baseball allstar but never to good to help out his teammates, I remember tons of Slumber parties at Mikey's dad's house as a kid where Chris him and I would look through all of our baseball cards and play Nintendo all night. I also remember Summer's in Bill's pool, I lived right down the street and Mike would come over and invite me to go swimmin or play a game of catch or maybe watch a Giants game lol! Our friendship was the closest as kids and over the years people grow and go thier seperate ways, but i will always remember Mike and the good times we did have, I feel like a jerk hearing about this just now and wished I could have attended the funeral, but i wanted to let Mikey and his friends know he is never forgotten. You will always be an Allstar Bro! Cindy and Bill I'm so sorry and wish you all the best.

I only met Mike in February at a class we had together in Orangevale. Every week the class was so much more lively because of his presence. My condolences go out to his friends and family. He was a great guy.

Mike-

I know we haven't talked in a while, but you have always been in my thoughts. I only wish now I had gotten back in touch sooner. You were such a good friend to all of us. You will be dearly missed. Until we meet again, Rest in Peace.

Cynthia,

I am sorry to hear of Michael's passing. My prayers are with you and your family. I often think of you both and am proud to have had you both in my life. And will always remember what a awsome person he was to work with. And how sweet he was to let me set him up on a blind date. We were just looking at the photo's a few weeks ago and enjoyed remembering what a wonderful person he was. My love to you and all the family.

Kris,



There are no words that can express how sorry I am for your loss. I always noticed how Mike would look around the room to make sure where you were at and would always look out for you. Just know that he is in a better place and will always watch over you...

My deepest sympathies to the Wright family. I only met Mike this January -- we worked together. I liked him very much -- he reminded me so much of myself at that age. I will miss him, but will always have fond memories of a very nice young man. To paraphrase a saying, "Mikey, we hardly knew ye!"

Mikie,



It's still too hard to imagine that you are gone. As I sit here looking at the photo of you and my daughter, I am reminded of the day she snubbed you after seeing you kiss Kelsey. I'll never forget the look on your face when she did... you were snubbed by a 8 month old little girl.

When Chantel found out you were gone from this world, her exact words to me were "It's Ok Mommy, he's with GOD and the Angels now, and he's going to be an Angel and watch over me."

Cyn, you know if you need anything lady, you call. Mikie was like a brother to me, and you have always been one of the closest friends. I love ya lady.

To Chris, James and Amy, take care of each other, and watch out for mom.

Mikey, words can't express how much you will be missed and how much you were loved. Your easy smile and laugh were enough to always make a bay day great. I will always remember all the fun times we had with our group from F800, and miss your hugs. My favorite memory is celebrating my 21st birthday at Meadows and Rob's. Even though I had not seen you in awhile you have a lasting spot forever in my heart. Cynthia: I love you so much and you are in mine, Grace's, and Amy's prayers and thoughts. Anything you need, just ask. I am always there for you for prayer, support or just as a friend who cares. Heaven got one of the best and I will miss you always!
