My sincere condolences to the Frush, Unitas Family’s, Aunts and Uncles of Michael Frush. I never had the pleasure of meeting Michael, but I grew up in the same neighborhood with his mother, Rose, his Aunts Debbie, Lori, and Uncle Benny. You had a very fun, loving Family. RIP 🌹

Michael came into our family when he was a boy and we watched him grow into a nice young man.
Our fondest memory of Michael was when he was in the Army and called us from overseas and we shared a crystal clear conversation.
We saw Michael frequently when he lived in Catonsville and then visited him in Colorado Springs and Fort Myers.
We will miss him and hold on to the memories we shared with him. ♡

This is hard. Took a couple of days to sink in . Mike was an awesome person and although I haven’t known him for as long as others he was a good friend. He was a great listener and was always there in his office to sit down with. I used to ask him frequently if he even left the office at night. It will be a difficult adjustment not seeing him or be able to call him. Mike helped me in my career and I owe him a large part of getting me through 2020. Mike, you will be missed.

This news weighs heavy on my heart. I was not prepared to hear that we had lost such an amazing person so soon. Although contact has been scarce over the years he has truly been one of my best friends. From my times serving with him "The Frush" his entire Army career to living with him in his house in Colorado Springs he has truly been a great friend. His care free and positive attitude was very much needed in times of high stress. From the money I lost to him losing Madden games in South Korea to shoveling what seemed an endless supply of rock landscaping for his parents Rose and Ed life and time was always fun and an adventure with Mike. I will miss you my brother.

In absolute shock upon hearing this news. My condolences to all of Frush’s family. I met Mike through Comcast and had the pleasure of working with him for 5 years. He’s was not only very instrumental in what he taught me through cable but also many things in life that I still use today. He was a good friend, leader and mentor in the time I knew him. The world lost a great person and better soul. Rest easy friend!

Spent a lot of summers in ocean city at Rosie and Ed’s condo.......... a world of good memories..... remember how Awesome Ed and Rosie were with us and we always had great times together. Mike will truly be missed by many. Rest easy and save a seat for me buddy I kmow your up there with the best !!!

I’ll be honest, it’s been quite a few years since mike and I last connected, but it seems like yesterday we were boating, going on adventures and just having fun. I got so much joy just from seeing how much fun you were having following along on FB. It gave me joy knowing Frush or “Flush” haha was out there still ripping it up on fun adventures, and living life to the fullest following his own compass. Even though it had been a while since we talked I knew I could pick up the phone whenever or wherever and Mike would be there for me no questions asked. That’s who he was, selfless, honest, and kindhearted. It’s crushing to know that your gone, and our adventure days are done. My thoughts and prayers to all your family and friends (you have tons). Rest easy Mike, I’ll miss you buddy.

Mike Frush...or I teased “Fresh”. A friend who never lost me...even after my 1700 mile move home. He was constantly present in my life while I had the privilege to know him this last decade or so. He was ambitious, successful, humble, spontaneous, yet a creature of habit or did he create his habitat around his people? I think so. He loved and cared and would do anything for his people even if it put him in the most awkward of positions. He wouldn’t allow anyone to be sad, left in a dark place...a true soldier. Not only for our country, but for the souls of those he cared for. I will forever cherish his smile, laugh and every moment I was blessed to share with him.
To Rose and your husband: I never got the opportunity to meet either of you, but I heard so much about you both. Mike knew the love you shared for him. I have been praying for you since I heard. I cannot imagine the pain. I know Mike wouldn’t want me to sit and cry. So when I think of him...I’ll be grateful, for I knew an amazing man I will NEVER forget.

Mikey, I will never forget the memories of us growing up on Rohe Farm Lane. Life couldn’t get better than those days! Summers out by the pool, Aunt Lori yelling at you to put those toy guns away, and family vacations in Ocean City. You had gone through so much at a young age, as we all did, but you overcame it. You served your country, your heart always so genuine, nothing you wouldn’t do for someone you loved and cared for. I know your mom is hurting, no mother should have to loose a child. They say the good die young, but it doesn’t make it any easier. I know everyone in our family was there to welcome you to heaven. Until we meet again. With So Much Love, Your Cousin Natalie

Mike was my supervisor for almost my entire Comcast career and he always empowered me to strive for better even when I didn’t believe in myself. He left an indelible mark on my life both professionally and personally. Gone but not forgotten.

Michael Frush was an amazing person who loved many and shared great memories with lots of wonderful people, He also had a heart of gold and he definitely showed it . Mike was my best friend and what I believe he was also my soulmate he understood me and many don’t lol . We met years ago on a cruise and went on several after together loves of fun trips and adventures . He was also someone I can tell anything to and he walk always be real with me on how he felt and would never sugar code anything . He loved bud light , Newport’s , slim Jim’s , blue crab , pots sports bar, his friends , family, boating , and a lot more but he always knew how to have a great time . Through the years and memories that we shared together mike has shown me a lot in this world and I’m so glad I had the opportunity to have a place in his timeline of life . Mike was also a very very hard worker and loved his job and everyone he worked with and he looked at it like his forever career and he was happy . I’m definitely going to miss him I can’t believe that he is gone but I’m glad I had the chance to talk to him on Christmas and to put up his Christmas tree just a few weeks before , I love you very much mike always have and will 💔

I am at a loss for words. I will miss you! Not until we set down at the table for our supervisor meeting will it truly have the greatest impact, because this time you won’t be on some boating vacation or concert somewhere. It baffles me the loss of such a great guy, who had not yet discovered just how great he was. I never said much, but I listened a lot and I’m kicking myself for not being the Big Sister I wanted so much to be. God knows you wouldn’t have listened to me with your stubborn self. So set in your ways and destined to have it your way. God gained another soldier for his army and I know that I will see you again someday. Big hugs and XoxoX. My heart goes out to your family and friends. Much love until we meet again my friend. As I raise my beer to you my heart aches. Fly High

Mike was my cousin. While I didn’t get to spend much time with him in adulthood, I will always remember what a kind kid and guy he was. He had a good heart. Always with a smile. Rest In Peace cousin.

I am so sorry for the loss to your family. I had the honor of being able to work with Mike. We are both veterans and shared sea stories with each other. Mike was a great man and proud veteran. May he Rest In Peace.
