We are heart broken to hear of Mike's passing, unfortunately we just found out. We did not know Mike for very long, but the time that we did know him we can truly say that he made a major impact in our lives, especially in my husbands Juan Torres' life. When Juan attended Teen Challenge he was greatly impacted by Mike's tough love towards him, ans his immense love for God (which he never stop talking about). We want to send our deepest condolences to his family especially his daughter. God bless you all, and may God's comfort be with you.

My deepest condolences to the Morrison family. Mike played a big role in my life when I was a student at Teen Challenge Brockton. He was kind and loving and very compassionate just as a brother, treating me like family. My life has been richer and blessed because of the impact he had on my life. I spoke with him the morning before his passing. Life is so quick, you were too young to go. You will be forever in my thoughts and prayers for your wife and children. May you now rest in God's eternal heavenly peace. Until we meet again. God bless you and your family.
