Mike was a true friend who was there when ever you needed him. We talked every morning about what the day might bring. I ran out of gas on afternoon on I-20. Mike borrowed a gas can, a truck and drove 20 miles just to help. He never asked for a thing in return. I tried to call him the Monday before his passing and he was busy, I wish we could have talked one last time. I'd like to hear that deep little laugh he had. He always greeted me on the phone "hey bro whats up: I know he is in heaven for he had excepted Jesus as his lord and savior. AMEN I pary for his family, they will miss Mike very much. He loved his mother and dad he spoke about how he wanted to see them more often. And his brothers as well. Rest easy my friend, rest easy.
