Mike had a big heart and cared about others, our families were all joined together in the hospital with multiple family members going thru life threatening situations. And even with everything going on he and Shanna and Payton pulled me to the side and comforted me and allowed me to feel and grieve and that shows a lot out of someone when they have their own worries and still there to support others. Mike was kind hearted and always trying to get the realness out of others digging deep. And I appreciated it!
When I was younger, Mike was always trying to get me out of my shell and get me to two step, we were camping with the family at Apache lake he got me out of my shell and taught me how to two step. Every time after that I’d look forward to two stepping with Mike. Not sure how well I ever did or if he was the best teacher but it’s the thought that counts and he was big giant teddy bear I enjoyed having around at family get togethers.
I was always amazed at how much this Big Teddy 🧸 Bear truly listened to every word you said to him. I had some heart ❤️ to hearts with him and he got me.
