Mike was a true standup guy. He was someone I could always count on and he rescued me many times in tough business situations. He was a client of mine for many years, but he was also a good friend. I'll never forget him.
Much Love to his family,

I have to admit, I didn’t want to write on here because it’s hard to believe you are not here anymore. But as respect to you. I feel even more compelled too. So here it is. To my beautiful god father. I love you unconditionally. From the day we first met at JC Penney’s as you talked about furniture while I listened for whatever reason lol, I knew you would mean so much to me becoming the man I am today. The amount of knowledge you shared with me, I could never live without. Your strength and intelligence as a man. A black man. It was beyond words to describe. Pop. You are my icon. Even though we are not of blood, we are of mind body and spirit. As you may not be here in the physical sense. I know spiritually and mentally you are just beginning your journey of eternal life. The pain has subdued. But the wisdom you will bring into our life as you learn more from our lord and savior. I can not do anything but give a tip of my hat to you. Pop I love you. I love you for allowing me a chapter of your life. I love you for giving me a reason to become more of a man than I ever thought. And I love you for the legacy you instilled in all of us. Today I may shed tears. But my heart has never been filled with so much joy knowing some day, we will speak again. Rest well pop. Shalom
Your god son. Ryan C. Little

Mike, I love you so much. You were a true “Big Brother” for me: when you often let me “style your hair” as I practiced my beauty school ambitions at 6 years old to when you arranged for me to be hired at Helene Curtis as I ran from a crazy marriage to our many times praying and sharing God’s precious Word over these more recent years.
My heart is broken yet I rejoice because you are present with our LORD! Shalom my dear brother. Love Rhonda

I only knew Michael for a short time but he left a lasting imprint on my heart. I could tell from the first time we met that he was a man of integrity, principle and faith. He had a kind heart and beautiful soul. I'm privileged to have known him.

Pops, not a day will go by that I will not think of you and the wonderful father and daughter relationship we had. The life lessons, wisdom and our daily talks meant more to me than you will have ever known. I promise to live every day with the tools you have given me. I promise you will be smiling down on me as I make you proud. Forever your blondie

Michael will always hold a special part of my heart. Without hesitation he was truly my friend, brother and a mentor to me. His spirit was kind, thoughtful and compassionate. He found sunshine on every rainy day.
Never to be forgotten.

My brother in-law Mike will be greatly missed for he was a kind, generous and caring person who always showed warmth and affection to his family and friends. He was a loving husband to my sister and a proud father and grandfather. Mike was very knowledgeable and a good conversationalist, he always enjoyed the finer things in life and he cultivated a great sense of style and taste. Above all Mike was a spiritual person with a deep faith in God. I'm sad that I won't see Mike again but I will always look fondly upon and cherish the memories of this great man who I was fortunate to have known.

I threw my husband a surprise 70s birthday party. Mike and Marlene never did anything halfway. They came looking like the 70s opened up and they walked out. This man oozed class. He has been the same amazing light for the whole 15 yrs I've known him. He was always such a blessing. I was never in his presence without getting a hug. The world is dimmer but the kingdom is so much brighter with Mike there.

Dad,
I love your smile, caring heart , your sense of humor, your faith and love for Yah. You were the true example of allowing Yah to shine thru us as we are His vessels. The grace of Yah poured through you and it is evident thru all of the testimonies of your life from family and friends. I will miss all of our morning talks, afternoon updates and evening prayers. Small chitchatting with Lilly and how you made her laugh at the simplest things. I just want to say thank you, thank you for your peace and thank you for loving my mom with all your heart!

Michael I believe I can fly because of your Irrevocable Love and Friendship you shared with me. Michael it might have appeared to have gone unnoticed, but I appreciate you right here in my heart. I want you to know the truth about it, of course l know that I wouldn't be nothing without you in my life. Michael did you know that you was my hero. You're everything I wished I could be, I could flyer higher than a Eagle because you are the Wind Beneath My Wings. See you in Heaven, Your Cousin in Jesus Christ Forevermore, Doreatha

I met Michael when he was an adorable six-year-old and his uncle, OC Wilkins, brought him to our house to play with us, My brother, Thomas and sister, Joyce and I became instant friends with Michael and called ourselves "cousins." We were also part of the same "teen" group in the 60s and forged a lifelong bond. Through weddings and funerals we connected; Michael and I reconnected last spring just after I moved to North Las Vegas. I am heart broken that time left was so short and only wish the best for his family. Carole Hayes Salter

You gave me all the tools and knowledge that anyone could ever ask for. You gave me the foundation of which I stand on today. All the wisdom and love, from how to put a castle together to being a husband, you didn't miss a beat in my life. I can't remember a problem or a situation you didn't have the answer for. I will cherish all the memories of our journey together. Peace Uncle, Peace Father, Peace Friend, Peace Teacher, Peace Brother......Shalom Uncle Mike Z"L

My earliest memories of Uncle Micheal were the many stories I heard about him from my Mother. Her big brother was this handsome, articulate, well dressed icon, with great hair. I had never met him but in my mind he had to be 7 foot tall and glided while walking, and walked on water. She also spoke of his strength and perseverance. She loved him so I loved him, even before I knew him.
As I got to know him personally over the years I learned that mom was right and then some. He is a great father, an inspiration, a leader, a motivator, a coach and a teacher. You could learn from just watching him interact.
My fondest personal memory was seeing him dance and love on his family and family reunions.
In a world where black men have difficulty finding great role models in their communities, let alone their families, I consider myself blessed to have had Uncle Micheal in my life.
There are/were some prominent MJs in this world and every single time I'd choose our MJ over them all.
I will always love you Unc.
Sincerely and respectfully,
Tim.

My Paw Paw was filled with so much wisdom, and he wasn’t afraid to share it with anyone! Even through his hardest times he managed to teach me so many things. I’m forever grateful for every piece of advice, insight and story told, along with so many more memories.

I miss your smile and your laugher. I Thank you for being such a great husband. You never made me feel alone, you always made sure I was happy. No one has given me so much happiness. I am proud that our marriage was strong. One of the best qualities you possess was that you were sensitive to others’ pain. Living with you, I learned the real happiness lies in selflessness, kindness, forgiveness, LOVE and caring about others. Your patience, love, sense of humor and your positive attitude were the only things that could make me go on in the difficult times. God has created a special person just for me, and I thank him every day of my life. Michael you were the perfect husband for me, I can never imagine anyone else in your place. Thank you My Sweet Husband for all you have done for me, I LOVE YOU BABY!
The days are cold, the nights are long,
but my love for you stays strong.
I hold you in my heart
and have you on my mind.
Loving you has no end and no beginning
Loving you is everything
It is infinite in time
And limitless in magnitude
Beyond even my own comprehension.
