So very sorry to hear about Mike´s passing. Mike was a good friend in junior high and high school. He made me smile, laugh and was a good listener. His nickname was Cocomo! Mike was an awesome wrestler and I know he dreamed of being a pilot. One fond memory I have during high school was having a Japanese style dinner at his house with his sweet family. Mike had a huge smile and was a super nice guy! May he Rest In Peace!
