I remember mike as one of the most fun loving guys I have ever met. There were time he really went full tilt at everything he did.
I’ll always remember him as a great friend and cousin.
I worked with Mike briefly at USPS. I was a mail handler working the night shift. I got to go with him a few times to unload a trucks at the branches. He had an infectious smile. He was always a great encourager every time I saw him. I pray God’s great comfort over those he left behind.
Sometimes…we struggle to find the right words to say to the family. And the truth is, there are none. The pain is deep and your sorrow is deeper. But Mike gave his family the best gift ever. By the life he led, the commitment he gave, he knew who he wanted to share eternity with. May your family be strong and know that alot of people lift you up in prayer.
I had great friendship with Michael when He began his journey to know God l was so happy when he found Christ & it makes me so very happy to know without doubt Michael is now resting sheltered in the Arms of His Father God. I’m so glad Mike found love and a family my condolences to you May God’s comfort and peace and your wonderful memories always be in your heart until you all are able to reunite with Michael in GODS ETERNITY….love you Michael?
