Julie and Family, Ro and I are very sorry for your loss and keep praying to God gives you enough strength to overcome this hard time. I had the honor to work with Mike for more than five years and there is only one word I can tell about this experience: GREAT. He was a GREAT boss, mentor, friend and brother. It is a huge loss for our lives, family and organization, he will be deeply missed and impossible to replace. Our common passion for muscle cars made us even more close, I already miss our rides and GREAT conversations...RIP Brother!

Julie and family, I would lik…
Julie and family, I would like to express my most sincere condolences to you during this time of loss. I remember my first day at Zeppelin Houston office when he welcomed me on board. Working for him for the last 6 years could not be better. He was able to make our office a friendly place and very professional at the same time. I can also say that I had the best party in 2018 when we all hanged out together after the year-end dinner. This photo shows how happy I was that day. RIP buddy.
I only knew Mike from our working with each other as customers but thought it might be nice for his family to know that I enjoyed my discussions with Mike and he was always willing to help out with our various projects and studies. He had a good attitude and touched more people then he probably realized. It was always good interacting with him. My condolence during this time. 
Our prayers and condolences to Julie and his family.   I worked with Mike for 3 years at MAC - Flotronics in Houston.   Mike was a very hard working and knowledgeable sales team member.   He always knew how to get things done and have fun doing it.  I enjoyed his wit and stories and his kindness to others.   Again, prayers to all friends and family.   May the propetural light shine upon you.......Rest in peace, brother. 

Hi all, whoever reads this ... I know mike as one of the most professional persons within our Zeppelin network. A person who knew his business by heart even though there has been others to argue. Mike was one of these persons who was discussing topics until the very end, even though it was not fortunate for ZSU. I will miss a friend, a beloved business partner in crime and a person who was very important for the Zeppelin business overall ... especially in the US. 

Mike ... I miss u already. All the best for your family and your friend you left behind.We will have a last Weizenbier when we meet sometime up there in heaven. Until then, please make sure the beer has the right temperature ;-)

Rest in peace

All the best, your friend Roland

Mike was an incredible human being.

I have countless wonderful memories of the times we spent together in Houston, Odessa, Germany and others. Such was his sense of humor that there was nary a time that our many conversations and adventures did not end with uproarious laughter and tears of joy streaming from my eyes. He could make the most tedious events joyous with a twinkle of his eye or sly remark.

Mike was my dearest friend. I am going to miss the laughter...
Julie and family, I am so very sorry for your loss. So many of us here at Zeppelin Odessa, FL have prayed for Mike during his covid battle. Now we pray for you and your family for strength and comfort until you are all reunited one day for eternity. Mike was admired by all and will be deeply missed. He was a genuinely warm, friendly and sincere person with a great sense of humor.  

Julie, my deepest condolences to you and your family for your loss. I had the pleasure of working with Mike for 17 years. He was my co-worker/boss/and most of all friend. I enjoyed his wit and his sense of humor. We would sit in his office sometimes and just share funny stories about our lives. I will miss him. May God bless and watch over you and your family during these tough times. RIP Mike.

Hello Julie, Jordan, and Justin.  Though I don't know you all very well, Julie we met in Las Vegas a couple years ago, I did know your husband and father Mike very well.  He was very professional, very hardworking, fair, fun to be around, and provided excellent leadership to the Zeppelin office in Houston.  

I know nothing I can say, no words can assuage the grief and loss.

Having lost family and close friends, my best friend to Covid a few months ago, I do know that only the passage of time with God's Grace can begin to remove the sting, and emptiness and loss.

My wife Pam and I sincerely pray that you will be comforted in this very very difficult time.

Jack and Pam Kilbride
