Mike gave a lovely mini sermon at my wedding. Being named after him is such a wonderful part of my story. I’m so thankful to have had him in our lives.

Always loved when Mike and Cindy would come to visit. I knew I was in for some some old stories but also a lot wisdom and Bible knowledge, and he loved some good food. Love ya Mike and so thankful that God placed you in our path and in our family.
Prayers of comfort to the family and friends may God bless all of you and comfort you.

Dearest cousin Mike, I'm going to miss you terribly. Since my move back to Tx, you & Cindy had been my special event attendees, my go to guy for questions of faith, and my family historian! Rest in peace dear cousin. You will be missed. ❤️
I don't even know where to start, Dad. My heart is shattered into a million pieces. I have so many special memories over my 52 years of life, that there wouldn't be enough time to share them all. From being in kindergarten, not being able to tie the laces on my brown Winnie the Pooh shoes and you helping me, to the time I was in high school and in gymnastics and so scared to do a back handspring on my own, but you knelt down in the front yard with your arm positioned behind my back to catch me in case I fell. Throughout my life, you ALWAYS caught me. Thank you for introducing me to Jesus so many years ago, and for leading by example and in faith. I am so blessed that God chose you to be my Dad. I love you so much and I will miss you forever, Dad. Love always and forever, Squatrock (Diana).

I turned 50 this day, and you brought me the handmade gift from Cindy and YOUR 50th birthday coffee cup :)

I always looked up to you, Dad.

Dad, me and Courtney.



Our hearts are sad, but warmed knowing Mike is in the arms of Jesus just where he spoke of being. Our Condolences to Cindy and the entire family as you adjust to his absence on earth. May our God comfort you and bring you peace. God bless! Love & hugs from; Leonard and Monelle❣️🤗🤗🙏🏻🙏🏻
