I never had the pleasure of meeting Mike. But if he and his sister (my BFF and like a sister) are anything alike, he was a true gem. Only God is able to use our now heavenly siblings to accomplish earthly miracles. I’d just like to than Mike for helping me locate Deb, Debbie (Deborah). Dear God! Thank you for using Deb’s big brother to lead me back to her. Somehow I’ve been unable to find her and her contact information. But today I did a google search and Mike’s Memorial Page with Deb at a podium speaking populated. I was so confused as I’d been out of the loop. But Heavenly Father, I KNOW YOU HAVE NEVER LEFT HER, MARTY, ZACH, LUKE, the boys’ wives and children during their time of loss. I’m grateful for all the family photos Deb used to share. Lord Jesus bless Nicole to continue to let her light shine on the darkness which tries to grab her. This is very late I realize God, but I hope my sincerity is sensed. Lord for whomever’s wonderful idea it was to do this, may you eventually let him/her/them know that someone out near Seattle, WA is extremely grateful because in this memorial of a life lost too soon, as tears well up in my eyes, I will treasure Mike’s home going page as one of the days that has given me LIFE by my chance to now be there for his Lil’ beautiful Sister. Thank you Lord, and may you please be everyone’s strength when they’re exhausted and feel like giving in and giving up. May you please restore their faith, renew their trust and reinvigorate their love for you.
In Jesus Name, Amen

I have very fond memories of Mike visiting Boston with his son, going to a soccer game at Fenway...I know strange. He loved his soccer and loved to smile and laugh.

I am so sorry for your loss Nicole. I worked with Mike and just heard about his passing. He was such a great guy and I’m thankful I knew him. He loved his family so much and he was so proud of you all and spoke of you all often. I remember I met you briefly at one of our conferences, and it stuck with me how proud he was to bring you over to introduce you. i could just tell he was so proud to say “this is my wife”. My deepest condolences to you, the boys, and everyone who loved him. My prayers are with you all.

He was the funniest, goofiest, most heartfelt and loyal and protective man a person could ever know.
