As a co-wroker, I met Mike last year in Nebraska and last saw him at the work site the week before he passed. In the very short amount of time he and I spent together I observed that Mike has an incredible wit and is smarter than anyone I know. I always looked forward to chatting with him, he would always say something to lighten the stress of the task at hand. He will be missed by those of us who worked with him. I pray that God will comfort those left he behind with his unending love.

Always a smile -

I'm so sorry to here of Mike's passing. This unexpected loss is particularly raw. Know that this isn't the end of his journey, but a transition to his next chapter.

Those of us left behind feel the unspeakable sadness. We cry a river of tears as our hearts break. Somehow we go on through our grief.

Mike's still with us, watching over us, along with his Dad. But boy, the here and now is so tough.

Be strong. That's what Mike would have wanted.

Michael, Michael, Motorcycle ... Nothing Compares.
Your sense of humor was unmatched: Nightshift Name that Tune, YYZ -- Rush vs. Squirrel Nut Zippers, Lemons or PC's. I can't help but smile through my tears. You will be greatly missed. I know you were met by some very happy pups at the rainbow bridge and they walked you home. My deepest condolences to Lynn and your family.

Dearest Lynn, you and Michael define "and the two shall become one", as you find comfort in the love you and Michael are, may you find comfort in the love our family shares with and for you. Marie has me digging through my photos for one we both remember most fondly that will bring you tears, tears of joy, tears shed to bring you comfort and love.

While i always felt lucky to have two big brothers, nothing can describe how it feels to have lost one. Goodbye bigger brother, hope you find alot of puppies there and are sharing Monty Python jokes with Dad!

Mike was truly a good friend and he will be missed.May the love of those around you help you through the days ahead.Although no words can really help to ease the loss you bear, just know that you are very close in every thought and prayer.

You shall walk in the Sun above
Whose golden light you loved,
You were a gift to your family and friends,
And will be missed until their journey ends.
Your kindness will continue through Paws Place and every animal they help. Godspeed, Mike, and heartfelt sympathy to those you left behind.

Beautiful obituary. Mike has been my ideal of a best buddy since I was a year old. Wonderful, strong, bear of a man. He's with dad now, I can hear them laughing through my tears.
