Our family's thoughts and prayers are with all the Turney family. Mike was a very special Marine, friend, and ball player. He always had a big smile on his face, even when his leg was in a cast. Tana and Jill, you are in my thoughts and prayers with your loss.

I offer my heartfelt condolences to all Mike’s family and pray that the Lord’s blessing will give them strength as they grieve. The best of Mike certainly was reflected in those closest to him and hopefully their memories of him will provide comfort to them throughout their lives. Though he was taken from us so early, we were fortunate to have known him and our lives are richer for the times we shared with Mike.
