My Darling Son,
It has been a year since you left to join our Heavenly Father and I still miss you so much I ache even though I know you are happy and in the best of Hands.  I think of you every day.  most days I can laugh at the silly things you did as a child and some as an adult and the the good you did.  You have no idea the kindness and love you spread and the lessons you taught people about the joy of giving to the less fortionate and of giving of yourself.  People that we don't even know come up to us and ask if we are'nt your parents and start telling us stories about what you did for them.  i am so proud of the man you became. You may not have lived a long live in years, but you lived a full life in the love,, and giving you shared with all of use.  You will be always loved, never forgotten,forever missed.

Dear Joanne, Dave, and family.  We are so sorry to hear about Michael.  Our deepest sympathy goes out to you, our dear friends. We only knew Michael when he was a little boy, but after reading all the comments on this guest book, I think we know what a special guy he was.  These are just a few of the words we read that his friends use to describe Michael-cool guy,  big and lovable, fun to be around, gentle giant, kind, wonderful person and friend. These people were fortunate to have had Michael in their lives and as a friend.  We will keep you in our prayers and God Bless you all.  We love you.

so sorry to hear of your sons passing. please accept our deepest sympathy for your loss. although we did not know Michael I am sure he was a great guy. 
  Don and Mary Rindahl

To the Sheats family, my deepest sympathies.
I just found out via Facebook & feel awful that I didn't make it to Mike's service.
I first met Mike in the summer of '94 & have stayed in touch with him on & off throughout the years.  I have fond memories of us cruising around town in his old C.J. Jeep or sharing a pizza together.  He truly was a great guy with a warm heart & will be dearly missed by all who knew him.
Once again, my condolences to your family during this sad time.

Please accept our deepest sympathy and and be assured that you will be remembered in our prayers. Mother and I have many fond memories of our days as neighbors living east of Oklee, MN and later when your family lived in St. Hilaire, MN. May Mike's mamory be blessed.

Mike, you are my friend forever. I will never forget the memories we shared. I will cherish them forever along with your friendship. Your presence in this world and my life made such a difference. You will be missed, but never forgotten my friend. Love ya man!

Dear Dave and Joann,
  You are such great friends and were such a comfort to us during some difficult times.  Words can't express how sorry we are  and our prayers are for you and your family during this very sad time.  God bless you with His strength and love.

My wife, Linda, and I sat with Dave and Joanne at Catalina High School football and basketball games and loved their company.  We had so many good evenings with them, watching Mike and our son, Andrew, play ball.  We are so sorry that Mike is no longer with us.  A gentle giant for sure.

We think of you, Dave and Joanne.

I remember mike as a freshman in high school on my fathers basketball team. I remember my dad telling him you need to get mad out there. He was the center for the team and the heart that pushed them forward. He will be forever be missed and remembered. This is not good bye but see you later

This is such a great loss of such a big & lovable guy. Dave, Joanne & Sara so sorry for you loss.
