The family of Michael would like to thank the north team of Hospice for all of their help and support throughout the past 8 months.
Mike will be greatly missed by all who knew him well. He will always be loved and never be forgotten.
His last words were “I am an angel now”
See you in Heaven, Mike.

Hey Dad.
Sometimes it feels like yesterday that you were here with us and at times it feels like a million years ago. Time is funny that way.
So much has changed. But the one thing that hasn’t is that I miss you.
I had forgotten your last words. “I’m an angel now.” And you’ve truly been mine all these years. Thank you. I love you.

I will miss Mike. He was a man I could count on completely to do an honest and thorough job as a pest inspector. He was the best in the business, in my opinion. Roxanne and I wouldn't buy a house unless we first had Mike check it out and issue a report. Over the years I learned an awful lot from him.
Mike's battle for life was an inspiration to me. My way of dealing with his illness was to employ humor whenever possible, and Mike always had a good come back for my off the wall remarks.
He was still teaching me something when, near the end, I told him how sorry I was that this was happening to him. Mike smiled and looked me in the eye and said, "Don't worry about me, there's a lot of people worse off than I am".
God rest your soul, Brotherman.
Our love goes out to his family... Hedra, Venus, Aaron, Kevin, Dave, John, Amy and Anaya.

Hedra and family- I am so very sorry for your loss. I remember the day I met Mike- his eyes sparkled and you two looked so good together- like it was meant to be. It's hard to find the words to convey how sorry I am for you and your family, but please know that you are all in my thoughts and prayers. May his angel wings serve him well and may he bring some good blues and rock-n-roll up to Heaven. Love ya Hedra, Lynn
