Mike was my Godfather. He was a great comfort to me when my Mother and Father passed away. He said the right thing at the right time.
I was very proud to have him as my Godfather and friend.
Love to all.

Rarely in life does one have the privilege and honor to have shared their life with a person with the unique and admirable characteristics of Mike McClain.  He meant so much to so many beyond his family and close friends.  As my mentor and boss (to whom I owe so much), I saw him develop business relationships that few could emulate and most would envy.  Mike created so many friendships in his career that the list seemingly could run forever and, if all could attend his final farewell, there wouldn't be a church large enough to hold them. We pray that Mike now resides with his beloved Patty in the loving hands of their Creator and that you his family find peace with the knowledge that he now is beyond the bondage of our earthly existence and enjoying the promise of life forever after.  With all of our thoughts and prayers.

Bill and Nell Ploth

We were blessed the know Mr. McClain from childhood.  I life well lived.  A fine Irishman is welcomed at heaven's gates.

Your family is in our thoughts and prayers.  Uncle Mike was a great man.

The O'Hallorans send heartfelft thoughts and prayers to your family. The Gentleman of Jarboe was a great neighbor, a true friend and one who shared in our countless joys and sorrows. Although we will miss him dearly, his legacy lives on in his family and the many lives he touched. Godspeed, Mike McClain!

To All the McClain "kids"- from all the O'Hallorans next door. We will miss your DAD!! I have fond memories of him telling us a joke, then LAUGHING. I loved his laugh - it was so contagious! He was a truly wonderful person who seemed to have Everyone's best interest at heart! We're so blessed to have grown up next to your family. PEACE

John & Kerry, our deepest sympathies, thoughts, and prayers for you and your family and friends.

I am grateful for the life of Mr. McClain.  Thanks to his service and to the service of others in our armed forces, my family and I have been able to lead our lives in freedom and peace.

Jane my deepest sympathy to you and your entire family, you are all in my prayers and thoughts.

This is a sad time not only for your family, but for the extended family of nieces and nephews.  Uncle Mike was one in a million.  Please accept our deepest sympathy.  May he rest in peace.

I feel so very grateful to have been a part of Mike's extended family thru my son-in-law Mike. What a wonderful, sweet and so very kind man. He and Patty were so special in my life and now they may be together again. How special that he was able to be at Emily's wedding and the picture of mike and his boys is such a treasured memory. All of my love and prayers to the 7 of you.

To the McClain family,
Our deepest condolences to all of you for the loss of cousin Mike. We in Colorado are all sad by his passing. Mom sends her love and thoughts and so do Linda and I.
We rejoice in knowing the Patty and Mike are once again together. Our prayers and best wishes to all of you.

My heart is heavy in hearing of Mr. McClain's passing.  I hired out with KCS in January 1970 in the Dallas sales office.  Mr. McClain was my guiding light in business. He had forgetten more about railroading than I will ever know.

Your mom and dad are together again with all the McClain clan.  That must have been quite a reunion.  You are all in our thoughts and prayers.

To the McClain family, We are so sad to learn of Uncle Mike's passing.  We absolutely adored your Dad!  What a special man, so kind and compassionate.  He will be truly missed.  You all are in our thoughts and prayers.  Love, Mark and Katy Wirtz and family

Uncle Mike was so kind, loving and funny. He would slip us a quarter or a stick of gum when we were kids which seemed like the greatest thing back then. He liked to play tricks on us with a fake egg or making your car backfire or pulling that quarter out of your ear, a delight for kids. He was responsible for our family's first family trip by inviting us to a big cabin in the mountains of Colorado which was great fun. I was so happy to be on vacation and still like to travel today and it started with that trip. He so loved and missed Aunt Patty, it was just the sweetest thing to see. I'm so glad that he is back with her again.  He was a favorite and will be missed.
