I met Mike from living in the same building we use to always chat and laugh. One day I was having my friends from Dodge HS over for food and drinks. My husband tells him to come thru and he did. So as the girls and I are talking he asks my husband what school they went to he tells him Dodge, Mike was shocked and said no way me too. I go and get my yearbook and he points himself out to me,ever since then when we use to see each other we use to yell out Dodge... I will never forget you..

What a beautiful, vibrant soul! When I met Michael I was instantly drawn to him. So much laughter, so warm, so welcoming and friendly. It was only a brief time that I spent with him, but the way he made me feel kept an indelible imprint in my mind, and in my spirit. One word to describe him...LIFE! Michael was life. May our beautiful memories of him live on forever.

On a popular dating site , Michael and I meet In 2012. Since the beginning of their relationship, Michael and I were inseparable. Together we began to built a life together as a family. In 2014 we decided to extend our small family, by adopting a rescue pet, formally name her Shadow. Shadow was Michael’s second baby girl, first one being his younger sister.

Michael taught me to believe in myself. Michael gave me the courage to dream out loud.

While attending Grace Dodge High School, Michael met his “chosen” sisters Cherina, Latia, Siobhan, and Tracy. Together, the five are a mighty fist and thus, declared themselves the “Almighties.”

The bond was instant and everlasting. This bond continues to grow with each passing day. Every joy, accomplishment, disappoint, and pain has been easier to carry because Michael had his girls and they had him.

Michael pushed us to be our very best and loved us with a fierceness and we basked in that love. Never did we imagine that we would be saying farewell to his physical form so soon.

This pain of this loss is truly extraordinary. However, the true, pure, love and relationship that was created while Michael was with us physically will continue to grow now that he has transitioned to the spiritual realm.

We send you to the ancestors, our Beloved Michael, with love, light, peace, rhythm, and a smooth dance to a “meannnn beat.”
