My condolences to Michael's family. I've known Michael since 2018 through Melee and throughout all this time, he was the one that pushed me the most in competition and I'll forever cherish that. On top of that, he was so kind and always a pleasure to be around. Rest easy, Steech.
I’m sorry Micheal passed away, I didn’t know him very well but I do remember him from high school and it’s really sad news to hear what happened.

One of at least twelve birthdays our boys, Nathan & Zachary shared with Michael. We will all miss his friendship, humor and brilliance.

Michael loved to banter with me. His stories and responses to my jokes were absolutely hilarious. We talked and explored any topic under the sun. Pokémon, types of noodles, exercise, engineering, whether or not anger is helpful, and all the ways to explore a city while traveling. I’ll never forget when we were in Detroit and I saw him outside of our hotel room on his way to explore the waterfront because it seemed peaceful and nice.

This was Valentine's day. We went to the bay and fed the seagulls. They started swooping in trying to take more food and we said we made a seagull army.

We walked around the apple campus and Michael spent a very long time trying to blow the seeds off of this dandelion. He got very out of breath and laid down flat on the sidewalk to catch his breath before completing his mission.

Michael eating a classic Michael meal, grilled chicken and rice with Chick fil a sauce.
2025, Michael in front of the photo wall he made for us. He put so much time into figuring out a template and taking/printing photos, and writing the dates on all of them. He was so sweet and thought of everything. He had pictures from everything we did.

This was halloween. Michael dressed up as a pumpkin, and we went trick or treating. We got into a car accident on the way but still had a very good time. He wanted to deliver candy to his friends Marco and Nick, and we successfully completed the mission.

This was at a melee tournament in downtown. He was very excited to go and was happy to show me how the trolley stopped right outside the venue. The mac and cheese was really good and we played connect 4 inside.
