Michael was a good friend to me especially in middle school when I went through stuff with my then friends. I went on to play tennis with Michael and we kept in touch throughout high school and some of our adult lives. I’m so sorry to hear of his passing and I want to extend my deepest condolences to his family. We shared a lot within our traumas and childhood. He will be missed. I wish I would’ve found his obituary sooner and been able to make his services. I’m saddened that I was hours too late. May he rest in peace. My prayers will continue for his family and our fellow friends.

Michael , there is so much that I could say about the person you were and about our friendship . We weren’t only friends but also coworkers and I am so thankful that I got to have you be part of my life . You are genuinely such an amazing person and you made such an impact on others and  everyone that ever had an encounter with you left feeling so seen because that’s what you would do , you make others feel seen and understood and you would make them feel like they mattered . 
You were there for me for such hard moments in my life and I wish I would’ve thanked you more for being such a great friend to me . 
You made life so fun and you made life an adventure, you were always down to travel on a random Tuesday or to go on a side quest , if I felt sad you were quick to ask what I needed and you would be so quick to show up to my house and provide support and comfort . We had such deep meaningful conversations that I will forever cherish , 
I wish I could hug you rn and I wish I could just have one last conversation with you Michael , 
You are so loved and so missed , 
I love you Michael

Michael,

There are some people whose kindness quietly changes the lives of everyone around them. You were one of those people.

I’ve known you since we were kids, first as Reyna’s best friend, and then as someone who became part of so many of my own memories. You helped me get my very first job at El Rincon de Cortez when I was in high school, a simple act that meant so much more than you probably ever realized. You were always willing to help, always willing to show up for the people you loved.

The last time we were together, we sat in your apartment for hours talking about God, life, and old memories. Looking back, I didn’t know it would be our last conversation, but I’m so grateful that’s how I’ll remember you. A conversation filled with faith, reflection, and laughter.

You had such a beautiful soul. Anyone who knew you knows that your heart matched your kindness. You loved music, especially soul music, and ever since your passing I’ve found myself listening to Adele’s “All I Ask.” Every time it plays, I think of you. It feels like a small way to keep a part of you close.

Thank you for your friendship, your generosity, and for the countless memories you gave all of us. Thank you for believing in me long before I believed in myself.

I pray that Christ, in His infinite mercy, has welcomed you home, where there is no more pain, no more suffering, only perfect peace. Until we meet again, my friend, you will always be remembered with love.

Rest in peace, Michael. You were truly beautiful inside and out.

When I needed a brother, you were there and I never forget you. I will keep you on my heart for the rest of my life ❤️🙏

Here we are in  ruidoso   I can truly say that because of him I didn’t feel so alone. We prayed and laughed together, and I felt that he was a brother to me.

Micheal was friends with my brother Vincent who  passed away March 2020 he made it a point to spend a lot of time with me and talk about all the wonderful things he spent with my brother at my grandmother‘s house during his years and high school years

Michael and I were friends in school, he was a very nice and thoughtful friend. My condolences to his family for this sudden loss
