Andrew and I had our sixth anniversary yesterday. Mike tore up the dancefloor. We miss you so much! XO

My condolences to Mike's family. He was such a shining star and brightened up every space he entered. His heart knew no limitations and he cared so much for those in his life. Miss you, Mike.

Mike… my heart broke when I received the news. You were so funny, selfless, kind. A big teddy bear. I’ll miss all of our sports convos. Sending prayers & love to your family. Forever in my heart 

Marshall and family I am so so sorry for your loss. I'm deeply saddened by this. Mike was amazing in so many ways. ❤️ 

Big Mike was such a big part of our Kifaru family 💚!  I still blame myself for turning on the ceiling fan when he cut his finger and needed stitches at work 😢. Of course he was “just fine” and wasn’t mad at me at all. 

I can’t even begin to imagine the loss being felt by his family and closest friends. I’m still trying to process his loss and I just knew him through work; but somehow, just knowing Mike, you felt that he was your friend! 

A world without our Big Mike in it just doesn’t seem quite as happy. 

Mike I am still processing your loss.  My heart breaks for your family and friends, I was remembering the time you helped Valerie walk me out to the truck after I drank one too many beers at the Avalanche game. You were always such a sweetheart making sure we were safe.  I remember watching you grow up with Valerie, Dyana and the other kids at St. Catherine of Sienna, playing ball in the gym.  You have been such a good lifelong friend to her, moving, going hiking, camping, hot wings and beers.  May you rest in peace beautiful soul. May the lord our God comfort your family during their unimaginable grief.  Until we join you again, rest easy Big Mike. Thank you for being a friend.  Nora and Anthony Medina

Condolences to you all for the loss of Michael. Continued prayers of love and strength to you all.

Love Bob and Dawn Percy & family

I am very sad to lose such an awesome friend. My condolences to Mike's family and to the world. He will be missed. I loved fishing with Mike and have many memories from those adventures. This is just not fair.

Michael, sweet Michael, you will be missed dearly…. We are heartbroken at the news of your sudden departure and pray for you and your family at this difficult time….  As the saying goes:

Those we have held in our arms for a little while, we hold in our hearts forever.” —Unknown

Rest in peace Michael…🥲🙏🏻
