My deepest condolences to Mikes family and friends. We had some wonderful times together. Our fishing trips with Larry and Kevin were epic, to say the least. Mike had a kind and giving heart and will be missed by all.
Adios Michael Wayne. God Speed
Will be missed very much, by many. In the end…I’ll see you on the other side my friend, until then GOD speed ❤
Kim, we are so very sorry for your loss. We will be praying for you and all your family. Gloria Edwards Phillips
I’m going to miss you, my brother! You left too soon. I’m glad we had the time to say our words last week and to tell you how much I love you. I will carry on and will look forward to seeing you, Mom, Dad, Brenda, and Debbie on the other side! I love you!
Mike Moon, you were a neighbor and a friend. I will always remember you and Mike Linder tormenting me as the pesky girl down the street. You pegged me as the biggest cootie bomber in the 2nd grade. How I wish I had known you as an adult and experienced you as the man you became. Seriously, I will always cherish the time in 1st through 6th grade. To the family, may God grant His perfect peace and comfort in the coming days, weeks and months.
My dear old friend, growing up we had so much fun. I will always cherish those memories. Your family was so much fun. They were kind, loving and generous to me. I’m so sorry we grew apart as we got older, but sometimes that is what life deals us. It’s hard to believe you are gone, but I am glad we had a chance to talk several years ago reliving those memories for awhile. May you enter the gates of heaven and reunite with your Mom, Dad and sisters. One day we will have the opportunity to visit again. May you always rest in peace, my friend.
