Mike was one of my favorite people in the world. His contagious smile could light up a room. His kind soul would give you the shirt off his back. He would do anything he could to give support to a friend or family member. Hilarious and smart, he was always making us laugh. He touched so many people's lives. He was a wonderful father. He was deeply loved. Mike will be missed by so many people. Rip Mike i love you forever
