Mike was a fantastic person and friend. I am forever grateful to have met him— even if it was “only” online as a former student of Ernie Pyle Elementary School. May his memory be a blessing. Prayers for his family—I’m so sorry for your loss.

I can't believe you're gone Mike. It just doesn't seem possible, yet somehow it is. You've had an amazing life, my friend. Throughout your career you have saved and changed so many lives. I know you changed mine. I loved your wit, compassion, sarcasm, and laugh. You, my friend were one of a kind. I will cherish our memories and our friendship. Whenever you were working I knew we could handle anything that Crisis threw at us, no matter what it was. Thank you for that! You gave me a sense of security and confidence in a violent ever changing job. I will miss your words of encouragement, your kindness, your care, and your kitty posts. I wish you peace and rest. I love you, my friend. You will never be forgotten. Thank you for making this world a safer and safer place for those in mental health crisis. You fought the good fight. You have touched so many. I wish I could be there to say goodbye. You were a champion for those who could not help themselves. You were a champion to me!! We'll take it from here...

In a world that often feels too shallow, he was a man of incredible depth—his humor sharp, his compassion boundless, and his love for others unmistakable. He had a way of making you feel seen, even when he masked his care behind that signature sarcasm. His presence was truly one-of-a-kind, and his absence will leave a void that words can't fully capture. He loved deeply and was deeply loved in return. I know all will miss him greatly, but his spirit, humor, and kindness will always remain in our hearts. Rest in peace, dear friend

Oh no. I had not heard. One of the finest people i was ever privileged to work with. Mike had a huge heart that he often disguised with his brilliant sarcasm. Most importantly, he made a difficult (impossible?) job fun.

May his family be comforted by good memories.
