I first met Michael online just before Covid, online gaming and on discord.

Michael was to known myself and others  as monks. He was one of the kindest and most supportive and caring of people I’ve ever known. Always hilarious and life of the party. There was never a dull moment around him. 

We hadn’t spoken lately as our paths took different routes, but to think I’ll never be able to again is extremely upsetting. Even thought the last time we spoke was a year ago in passing, this still hit hard knowing that such a unique person has been lost from this world. My heart and best wishes goes out to his family and friends. I never dreamed to hear this news and I’m still in disbelief.

 You will be sincerely and wholeheartedly missed. Your eternal friend. Jantis. 

P.s. smite sucks. But playing it with you made it the best game ever. Really gonna miss you man.  So much more I could say but I’ll end it with this.
Nobody was alone or unhappy if you had a choice about it. You were one of a kind mate. ❤️

Dear Michael, better known to all of his friends online as monks, when I got the call I did not know how to react. My brain could not comprehend what our friend was telling me over the phone. That you were gone. All I could think about was the last time we talked. All I want is to go back to that night and stop myself from leaving the voice chat. That was the last time we talked and I am so sorry we never got the chance to go to the things we wanted to do and that you never got to come up here to visit me and my wife. All I can really say is how much everyone's hearts are broken from such a loss. You will be missed for many years to come and your stories will be told and your memories will never be forgotten. I love you. Your friends will always love you. I hope one day to see you again at the gates of heaven. Until then ride the light my brother. I love you man.

My sister sent me the obituary about your son. I can’t even imagine your pain and grief. 
The loss of a child is unimaginable. 
My heart and prayers go out to you and your family. 
Sincerely 
Joanne Keenan

There are no words that can express the depth of sorrow I feel for the loss of Michael. He was the best friend I wish I had known more about, the one I wish I had hung out with more. He was always there for those in need, there for his friends and family. He will always be remembered now and forever in our hearts. This is not a farewell but a see you later. ♥️

Michael was a dear friend, and one of the best people I’ve met in my life. He was smart, funny and knew how to bring people together. We both grew so much together and I will forever be proud of the brotherhood we shared, I express my deepest condolences, he will missed dearly.

I’m at a loss for words. I hope you’re taking it easy up in paradise man. I love you so so much, I just can’t believe this is real man. I’ll miss you forever and think of you always🖤🕊️

My sincerest condolences for your loss. I regret drifting away these past years, but I'm glad and thankful to have been able to call him a friend.

My heart goes out to you guys. You raised one hell of a boy and he was amazing in so many ways. I am so thankful to have know him and he will forever stay with me. If you guys need anything and I mean absolutely anything feel free to reach out to me.

This was an awesome escape room that we did together when we were in Naples!

This was back when we hung out in Tampa, with his girlfriend at the time and he took us to hot pot and Korean bbq !

This was at Dave & Buster’s in Tampa as well ♥️

This was such a heartwarming photo of all three of us together. He was the best man to have walked this earth. This world didn’t deserve you Michael. I will forever miss you and keep you near and dear to my heart.

This was Michael being extremely goofy with my grandfather’s (he passed away back in late 2019) fedora and his own sunglasses.

Michael was one of the best souls you could be around. I knew allot of people but he was by far the best person I knew. The way he loved and the way he goofed off could change anyone's day and put it in the right direction. I do not regret the time we spend together online and offline. I spent everyday talking to you and I am going to miss my best friend and brother. I will give you the biggest bear hug when you see you my family. I love you

My sincerest condolences for your loss. I have nothing but good memories of Micheal and I will hold them close to my heart for the rest of time.

Micheal or as i knew you as Monks. You're gone so soon but you'll be forever in my heart. I've known you since 2020 and you've been a long term friend of mine for many years. You were an amazing friend, person and lovely individual.

Thank you for being there for me and thank you for being amazing. I will miss you. Fly high. <3

- Harley.
