A beautiful smile and beautiful soul. God called you home Mike way before we were prepared for you to leave us. May all the suffering you endured here on earth on your final days may be rewarded in Heaven. You left a void in all of us that cannot be replaced. Miss you so my Michael. Love Uncle Jim

I have just heard of Mike's passing. Althought I knew Mike for years at the IRS in Atlanta, I didn't see see him very often. However, when I did, he always spoke and was always one to go out of his way to be friendly. I will miss those chance encounters. My prayers goes out to his family during this difficult time.

Every day we miss my brother. It is a comfort hearing from the people whose lives he has touched. It brings a smile to my face to know that he mattered to them. I am sure my parents, siblings, his daughters and wife appreciate the impact he has had on so many lives near, far, and in between.
The Estrada Family will host a Hometown Memorial Service for Michael and welcome Family & Friends on Friday, Sept. 28th 7:00 p.m. at 1100 Main Street (was called North Loop 4) Santa Cruz Church in Buda, TX.
Celebration of his life and Reception immediately following in church hall. We welcome everyone to come and enjoy memories and a slideshow of his lovely life. If you haven't met his family, we look forward to your introduction on this day.
We would like to create a Scrapbook to Celebrate his life using the words of those who experienced having him in their life no matter how brief, or how long they knew him.
There are so many stories that are so precious to us and knowing how he touched your life will leave a legacy for his daughters to be proud of... or at least in some cases, I am sure it will give them a giggle at their Dad.
