Something reminded me of you today and I had to check my calendar. I can not believe that one year has past since you left this earth. I know I will never forget the day I learned of your passing and how deeply it wounded my heart and all those whom loved you so dearly. You were and continue to be such a light and I pray, a teacher for those lives you touch and continue to speak to even in death. Your life even though it was taken so young was a gift to us all and I know in my own life I strive to treat others with dignity, respect, and sometimes a little sass when necessary, to the best of my ability just as you would have done. You were so open and accepting, funny, and sincere. Thank you for the gift of awareness that nothing should be taken for granted but that at any time it can all be taken away. I love you Michael and look forward to the day when I can see your smile and hear that amazing laugh! Rest in peace dear friend. :)

Mike - you were an amazing man and I am so glad to have had you in my life. You were always fashionably late for my parties, but the party didnt start until you got there :)  I won't ever forget the times we had, staying up until sunrise just me and you talking about anything and everything. You were a great friend and I will miss you terribly. I love you.

Beaton,
It's been an honor to know you and to love you. Our circle will never be complete but the years of endless laughter and memories will help fill the void until we meet again. 

To Michaels Family,

Mikey, We had some great times at Coach USA and better times at H & L Charters. Thank you so much for telling me to move over to H & L it was the best move I could have ever done. Sorry I had to move to GA. It was so awesome when you were flying to Italy and you had an layover at Atlanta and we spent a few mins together. Then the time you flew to Orlando to pick up an new bus to bus back to CA. We spent the night at the hotel having a great time talking and having dinner. The time this past Feb we got to see each other on the campus of Stanford as we past by each other. These are the things all always remember. You were an awesome friend an coworker. No one can ever replace you as an friend or driver. You were one of the BEST. Love you Mikey. Rest in peace Mikey!

Michael, you were like my brother. You were my North Star. Wherever I was, or wherever I was going, knowing you were there in my life gave me great comfort. We traveled the world together, and you will be in my thoughts forever. I love you. And i miss you so much.

Mike all i can say is that you taught us all to Laugh, Love, Smile and Be Kind just a little bit more... May you Rest in Paradise and forever shine down on us!!! -Joser

I have no ride to pay my last respects to you,but you were a great person,full of cheer and spread all of your love you could give.i appreciate the time you had given me and how lucky/fortunate I was to be privilege to have gotten to know you.sleep with the angels luvie and look over all of us-tony

"MOOBY!" - YOU WERE A HEALER. Each of us had a tailor-made relationship with your heart. Your cool and sharp humor was chockablock with care and love. The amazing gift you had in morphing yourself without judgment of others, furnished you and us, with life's greatest riches: JOY, LOVE, LAUGHTER, ART, TRAVEL, MUSIC and MANY, MANY FRIENDS. (In coming years, especially around Halloween, I'll remember you pulled together in some beyond-handsome look, cracking wisdom and laughing.) I love you so much dear friend. Words you spoke to me made me a better man and your brother.

I lost an awesome friend, a mentor, and most of all a person in which whom many loved. But it is indeed a gain for heaven and the angels above.  You were always there when I needed to call or ask advice. I'll never forget the first time we met when you came to see me dance. I'll remember and keep in mind that God took you away from us but gained another angel. 
You were indubitably the most amazing person, someone who I love, looked up to, and even though it was short it was great.
You may not be here physically anymore, but in spirit you will always live on! Long live BABS! RIP my friend. You're in my heart and mind....

You always made me laugh, always brought a smile to my face every time our group of friends got together. You're humor will forever live through those memories.

Mike - You hold a special place in my heart. You will be missed. I am so thankful to have met you.

I'm going to miss your smile, and most of all, your humor.  Watch over all of us.

I will always remember your kind smile in a crowd. Your light will forever shine on us all. RIP.

Mike, I am beyond saddened to know you are gone. You were the best dance partner in Jr high at the dances. Great memories, and they will live forever in my heart!

Michael I can't even put into words how much you meant to me or how thankful I am to have had you in my life! You are and always will be my best friend! I hope that you are now resting in peace and I know I will see you again one day! I love you Beaton!

Mike...I will Always have a special place for u in my heart. You were always so fun and always making everyone laugh...that's how Iam going to remember u...just sit back and think of the moments we shared and just crack up. :) it was a pleasure for u to be my friend :)

Feeling really blessed to have gotten to meet you God bless you friend

I remember when you and the gang came to visit us in Italy... the day we went sailing and there were too many of us to fit on the boat so you and I went with Cristiana in the tiny motor boat... long story short... engine quit and you rowed us back to shore... but not before taking a good whack at Cristiana's head with the oar.. Oh how I laugh about that still.   Thank you for the super fond memories as well as the light and love you brought with you everywhere you went.   xoxoxox

Thank you for the memories Mike, you will not be forgotten. You are a beautiful person loved by all.

Mike - you will always be remembered.  Thank you for the time we had spent together and the friendship.  I know we grew apart over the years, but you will always have a place in my heart. R.I.P. my friend.
