Spent many good times trash talking and occasionally fishing with Mike offshore. May the sun rise with you. Miss you buddy.

Mike and I both joined Citrix around the same time in 1998, both of us having graduated from Georgia Tech. We shared many years in Citrix engineering, spending late hours in the lab on more than one occasion. But what I will miss the most is his friendship. I will cherish all those hours of informal conversations in his office, playing ping pong to beat the late afternoon lull and playing softball on the Citrix Engineering team for all those years. I will miss you dearly, Mike. RIP. Condolences to Michelle and the family.

Mike was my first manager out of college, his guidance and kindness made a lasting impact.
I'll cherish the memories, and his legacy will never lapse.




Mike was one of the most genuine and big-hearted people I ever met. Many great memories both at work and outside. I'm a better person because of him. Will miss him very much.

One of the most challenging competitions I’ve ever done. So glad that I was competing with Mike and not against him. My condolences to Michelle and the whole East family. 

Mike's fun demeanor, strong leadership, and light-hearted approach made him a beloved member of our team and he was instrumental in our company's success.  We extend our heartfelt condolences to his family and friends.  Mike will be truly missed at DataCore.

Mike was such a good natured person and a joy to be around.  I have so many memories of laughing with Mike.  My sincerest condolences to his family.   

Our deepest sympathies and prayers to Michelle, Katie, Kyan and the whole East family.  We feel blessed to have had you as our Millpond neighbors.  We know what a huge loss Michael will be in your lives, and hope that all the many people whose lives you touched will gather round and support you in the months to come.

Mike was always so fun and positive to be around. He had a great smile that he'd hold for a moment start to laugh which would always make you laugh. I fondly remember the last time I played golf with him and another friend and laughing at the friendly jabs between them. Mike was an extraordinarily nice and good person and made the world a better place. Mike you will always be missed. YLBJAY

Our condolences to Michele, Katie, and Kyan whom we love dearly.  Our fondest memories have been spent together including going to baby classes together, eating "dead parrot wings" at the Lazy Flamingo on Sanibel, Disney World, a million dinners out, and boating all over the place both in Deerfield Beach and Sanibel.  We love you so very much and are here for you always.

Mike and I had a 2nd-chance friendship that I think surprised both of us. When things were tense at work, he’d come by to just shoot the bull, mostly about restaurants and music. Trash talking during March Madness was always a highlight. 

Mike taught me how to keep cool at work, and to see how a setback could become a later victory.

You will be missed, Mike. 

One of many times golfing together!! Great times!!

Will always remember the great times our families had together on the sidelines. Will certainly have a pickleback in your honor. 

The Sweaty Bob to my Sweaty Betty. I am going to miss our random check ins. My childhood was so much richer because it was spent with you. I will forever miss you my friend.

I've known Mike since he started working at Citrix in 1998 after graduating from Georgia Tech.  We both worked in the engineering department which provided lots of opportunity for both work and outside work activities together such as softball, conferences, golf, etc.  From 2002 to 2004, Mike and I attended the University of Miami Executive MBA program in Delray Beach.  We were on a team together for the entirety of the program.  This photo was from our last day of class .  We had spent every Saturday for 2 years in the program.   Our final day presentation included a story about Citrix and our team wore these shirts.  It was a grueling program but it really gave us time to get to know each other, share many lunches and develop our friendship.   As people left Citrix and our families grew, we weren't able to spend the same time together as in the early years.  Recently Mike and I were able to play golf after not being in touch for a few years.  It turned out to be a great gift to spend a few hours with him before this sudden passing.  Mike always had a saying playing golf when someone missed a putt on the low side of the hole:  "missed it on the rookie side".  I used that phrase earlier in the day on Sunday when I found out his condition had deteriorated.  It is a simple phrase, but something that will always keep his spirit alive to me - especially during rounds of golf.  RIP Mike.
