I’m so grateful you got the chance to hold my babies and show them the love you have always shown me. I will cherish our memories always, from letting me have my first cup of coffee(with loads of sugar of course), to letting me stay up late so we could watch married with children, (dad would never have let me watch Al Bundy 😂)  Thank you for always being the constant rock in our family. I love you forever Uncle Mike 🤍

I was really blessed with the best dad in the world. I used to tell you I wanted to be like you when I grow up and you would always tell me to be better. It doesn’t get better than the best. Every year for my birthday, you would ask me what I want, I could have told you I wanted the moon and you would have moved heaven and earth to make it happen. This year for my birthday, I want to hear your voice one more time, I want to hug you one more time, I want to hear your big, loud laugh, and you’re not here to make it all come true. Nobody will ever be able to fill your shoes. You were the best of the best. The world will always feel so empty with you. I love you Dad.

My heart has been broken ever since you left me!  I will ALWAYS AND FOREVER LOVE YOU!

I will love you forever and always for all eternity!❤️😘

You will always be my hero Uncle Mike! The safest person I felt talking to, someone I looked up to, and admired very much. I want to love like you do, and be humble like you were. You were one of my most favorite people and I hope you know how much I love and miss you. I wish I had reached out when you were on my mind instead of thinking I’d do it the next day. Thank you for all you’ve given me, be it love, advice, or someone I could lean on when life got heavy.

My heart aches every day, longing to have you by my side once again!  I miss you more than I can express. I turn to tell you about my day and realize you’re not there. I pick up my phone to call you and I realize I can’t ever hear your voice again!!  I LOVE YOU AND MISS YOU SO MUCH!!  You’re my one and only FOREVER LOVE!❤️ 😘

YOU WERE MY
Favorite HELLO
AND MY
HARDEST GOOBYE!!!!

You Left Me with
Beautiful Memories
Your Love is Still My Guide

YOU LEFT MY WORLD
BUT NEVER MY
Heart❤️

Mikey will always be in our hearts - 
We all were blessed by his love  and wisdom 

If it was not for soccer- we may have never met-  so many great times 

Love you brother

Mike as you would say when I got on shift(5pm-1am)  your a good man Josue!!! Nahhh man you were a good man and we all knew this… We love you, my brothers, wife and I were lucky to have as our boss then our mentor and finally our family.

I remember when Michael was in the army, he came home on leave and surprised me, cuz I was on my way back into the hospital. He was hiding underneath a blanket holding the character Phifel. He literally scared  the begees out of me.

It’s hard to find the right words when someone who was such a meaningful friend is suddenly gone.

Mike was a bright light in the lives of many friends and colleagues—an inspiration, and without a doubt, a role model to many.

There are countless stories of him helping out people he barely knew, simply because he was always willing. That’s just one of the many qualities that made him so special.

He was firm but kind, and his presence had a way of making even the ordinary feel extraordinary.

Losing Mike leaves a space that no one else can fill. But in that space, we also find the pieces of him that remain with us: the memories, the lessons, the guidance.

So today, we hold our grief gently, alongside deep gratitude for having known someone as remarkable as Mike.

We remember him not only with sadness, but with respect, with laughter, and with the promise to carry his spirit forward in the way we live our lives.

May he rest in peace. He will forever be remembered and be deeply missed.

Manny and Sandra Acero
