Our family is deeply saddened and heartbroken about the death of our very much loved one. Michael not only was loved by his immediately family but by his extended family and community.

Our hearts are aching for Michael as well as for his co-workers, friends, and his clients. Michael was intelligent and one of the kindest, most generous, outgoing, Life-loving people we know. We are so appreciative of the outpouring of community support; their stories and love helps us get through this tragedy.

Michael was loved by his team members and was excited to aid his clients in their times of grieving. We know Michael would want us to get rid of the hate and division in this world, and was an advocate for peace, children's rights, and equality.

Despite our pain, we could not be prouder of him.
