Grief has many faces and this unexpected space has left a hole where once was an awesome man who loved his family & friends, was always there making you laugh, expanding your thoughts and boundaries with life experiences, and there to help with projects of almost any kind. As we surrounded Mike in our private family viewing, we told stories that made us laugh along with our tears of sorrow. We’ve read many of the posts on social media and have found comfort in Mike’s far reach with his positivity and crazy humor. We hope you will bless us with your stories again on this Memorial so we continue to read and laugh and heal. Knowing many may need some censoring, but don’t hold back. We look forward to celebrating Mike thru all he touched.

We also encourage reading about depression and share the information on your social media. Sometimes you can’t see how deep the pain is and sometimes people don’t know they need greater help.
