Michael,
I don't know what to say.  I've known you for half my life. And now...you're gone.  I can't believe it. I never really told you that I loved you like a brother but somehow I think you always knew.  It didn't need to be said. It was understood. There are many things in my life that would be very different today had I not met you. I can rest comfortably that I at least told you that.  I'll never forget you friend. Until we meet again, may you rest in peace.

I only met him a few times but he seemed a gentle soul.  I know he will be missed and my heart hurts for all of you.

I'm so sad to hear of Michael's passing.  Michael was the first Manager I met with I interviewed with Hudson's Furniture in Florida.  We became friends along the way.  I will miss you,

Lourdes Keelan
Tampa, FL

This made me so sad to read...It had been many years since I'd seen him last...He was always such a warm and friendly person...My memories of him won't be erased...My thoughts and prayers are with all of you...He is surrounded by many very special angels up there...

I was so sorry to read about this...He was such a wonderful person...I hadn't seen him in many years but the memories will never be forgotten...My thoughts and prayers go out to all of you...

My deepest sympathies to the family. 

You will always hold a place in my heart. I love you Michael.

Heaven has gained a new angel to sing amongst them and I am certain we will hear your songs in the wind. You will be deeply missed.  Thoughts and prayers go to your family.

I will treasure the friendship we had and the music we shared... you had a special gift that allowed you to "connect" and obviously be deeply loved by those who were blessed to have known you. Til we meet again. Sail on...

Thank you for introducing me to putting marinara sauce on my Mac and cheese, (it's absolutely delicious) I decided to try this weird mixup after one day Mike grabbed the marinara sauce out of my fridge and lathered it on this macaroni, to this day I always remember how I looked at him confused as to why he was putting pasta sauce on mac and cheese, but you've created a delicious tradition I will always remember you. Thank you for being an amazing soul & always knowing how to make me laugh. Thank you for all of the smiles, and kind words. You are greatly missed xo

I will miss your humor, laughter and smile.  You truely made the world a better place. God bless.

RIP Mike. You were the sweetest of souls. Thanks for being such a good friend to Dan, Daniel and Kayla. You will be forever missed.

I can hear your laugh and the sound of your voice singing. Two things I hope to never forget. XO

Michael was a gifted teacher and individual who freely gave his time and knowledge teaching classes at Hire Level Ministry in Raleigh. He was passionate about helping others and his compassion was felt by all. He quickly became endeared to all those involved with Hire Level. He was a beloved teacher and friend. Michael quickly changed peoples' lives and gave hope. We will miss him dearly. We pray that God will give peace to the family.

Words cannot express how deeply saddened I am to hear of his passing. My prayers are with your family. He will always be remembered for his sense of humor, loving nature and musical talent. May God bless all of you in this time of healing.

I am so sorry that you have lost your brother.  My deepest sympathy to you and all the family.
Love, 
Claudia Dreisbach

With deepest sympathy to Daryl, Mandy and family. We were saddened to hear of your loss. Love...

It has been my pleasure and honor to work with Michael over the past year, get to know him, learn from him and call him friend. He was a huge presence, an energetic force, full of positivity, integrity and passion. He had a great sense of humor. His passing, so sudden, so sad. I shall miss his smile, jokes and fun spirit. My deepest sympathy to his family and friends, and my God's strength help heal your hearts as you navigate through your grief.
