Michael was a truly meaningful presence in my life while we were growing up. I will always remember the kindness and empathy he displayed to me and everyone around us. I look back with so much warmth to memories of running around outside, playing silly games on our iPods, riding bikes, catching frogs, trading Pokemon, and all the goofy misadventures of children.

These moments forever hold a special place in my heart. My deepest condolences to family and close friends. Sending much love
