    I grew up with Mike and attended St Francis with him from K-8th . Although we lost touch the last 20 years I still have many fond memories of him. Mike was a great guy and I wish we could’ve stayed in touch better than we did.

    Glenda, it has been a very long time since our 2 Mikes played together when the ladies of Whitsonville or the farm wives in the Ebenezer neighborhood. We moved out of our home on Whitson Rd in to St Joe. My sincere condolences to you and all the family for your loss of Mike. Sad to read this unpleasant obituary and pray God Blessings for your loss.

    Mike was like a big brother to me, he was always looking out for me. We always enjoyed working together and sharing a good laugh. My prayers for the family and friends in this time of grieving. Lean into the Lord let Him be your comfort and always smile when you think of Mike, he wouldn’t want it any other way!

    I’m so sorry for your loss. I tied in with Mike and the girls when we were all younger. I enjoyed all of your company. I especially enjoyed the little excursions Mike and I went on together. Especially the camping and fishing we did several times. He was a good man, and I was lucky to know him. God bless you all! Aaron

  • Ted Harris

    So sad to hear of Mike’s passing. I will always remember mowing together, working on curb appeal, sharing a beer, keeping the streets safe, Mike being my daughter’s first “boyfriend”, teaching Zach how to be “Stealthy” during his younger years.

    While heaven has gained a good one, we lost a good one too.
    So long… until we share another beer… high in the sky.
