Words can not describe how much we miss you. Everyday we feel the void created by the loss of loosing you. You were a confidant, a best friend, a brother, and so much more. We miss you and love you and always will.

Wow!!
I just learned of Michael's passing.
I was his HS Chem teacher & got him an internship at Oceaneering. I was a very impressive young man.

Michael, I just met you for at most the last couple of years as one of my fellow co-workers. A little piece of you stayed with everyone you met, and all those memories are eternal now. I hope that where your spirit is now, you will keep watching your loved ones. No greater happiness than finding your soulmate and by the looks of it you definitely did found her. I know that must have been the happiest moment of your life, and I am sure you treasured it and you will be her guardian angel. Rest in Peace Michael, and forever live in the hearts of your loved ones.
