Hey Michael it’s been three years since you departed, you have been truly missed by family and friends but especially your pookie bear, Camiyah Reid💙 You all spent hours on the phone and didn’t miss a day talking to each other ❤️ You all had a bond that will never be broken, Michael you told when she was about 4years old to take care of your pookie bear and she’s now  she’s 13 and as long I have breath in my body , I’m going to do just that ❤️, We reminisce a lot on the great times we spent together, She was only 9 when this took place and it seems like yesterday,  I’ll never forget she said Nanny, I haven’t talk to my daddy in two days, I tried to call but I got no answer 😭😭😭, A couple days later I got the phone call,  Michael we miss and love you dearly, John14 Let Not Your Heart Be Troubled, Lord We Trust In You 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾 Heavy on my heart this morning, Nanny Shan❤️❤️❤️

just found out today that you passed my friend! Remembering how I met you by you screaming down to me from a tree! You were always kind to me and we have great childhood memories. I pray you are at peace now….. 

Sorry my friend had to leave this way we shared good times when in each other presence we loved our kids and we showed just that you were a friend indeed to me and my family Rest on Cali

I cannot begin to articulate the level of pain that I am feeling in this moment.  I just learned of Michael's passing today. Otherwise, I would have attended the burial.  However, everything was over when I was finally informed.  

Michael was a huge part of my childhood.  We were both thorns in the sides of our respective households as we spent numerous hours on the phone (daily)  as kids, and no one in our households was happy to hear us calling for the other. 

We hung out at school, then he hung out at my house when I was home schooled,  I also visited  his grandmother's house to see him.  We  caught up when we met up as adults.  He  even taught me how to prevent my son from crying to control me.

I would like to send my heartfelt condolences to his parents, his kids, his brother, and all other family members affected by this loss.   I hadn't seen him in a while, but this loss is tremendous.  I wish his family strength, peace, and healing.  I share in your loss.  Michael will be missed.

It is with heartfelt condolence to know of the passing of my family member. My thoughts and prayers go out to the family. May you find comfort and peace with the Lord our Savior. To be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord.
