6 freaking years, and it still hurts just as bad as if it were yesterday.. Daddy, I miss you so much, and wish you were here with us. To see me grow as the woman I have become, and watch my boys grow up. My boys have to miss everything without their pop pop and you would have loved them so much. Brantley would have been your best bud, he loves hunting and shooting and all! I can´t believe that in 8 short days it´s your birthday. The big 51 old man. Time just seems to keep flying by and it´s so hard not having you around! I love you, until we meet again

Mike and I were friends in the early/mid 1980s, it's been probably 30 years since we last spoke to each other. Memories fade, and I recall only a few things about the days when we ran around together; one memory that comes to mind is Mike and I sitting on the roof outside of his bedroom window at night, just hangin' out, talkin', and secretly smoking cigarettes.

A couple of people here mentioned that Mike was upbeat and always had a smile on his face, and that's how I remember him, so many years ago.

Condolences to Deb, Ryan, and everyone close to Mike.

Rest In Peace, old friend...
