Where do I start ? My brother one of the most positive and caring individuals I know. He and I shared so many precious memories. To this day these words have always stuck with me "to never settle for less and what type of woman I need to become". No matter what time it may have been when I called he was always there. I still can't believe my best friend is gone. Although my heart is heavy my mind is full of fun memories. Every step I take from here on I know my brother is walking with me still. I love you big bro, you will forever be in my heart and my best friend.

Mike,
Thank you for being that rock and figure I could look up to. As I reminisce on the days of college and those formidable days in Austin. I remember a young man who taught me never to give up on your dreams of making something of yourself through hard work and determination. You were truly a brother who walked what he talked and always led by example. I am humbled and blessed to have had you in my life. We will continue to hold up your light through service to our communities and stressing the importance of education in our minority neighborhoods.
You will be missed.
My prayers go out to the family.
