Mike even though we never meet I just want to say thank you for making Cathy so happy. You put a smile on her face and I’m sure she put a smile on yours as well. God bless you rest in peace.
God gives His hardest battles to His toughest soldiers.
Rest in peace friend.
I will miss your smile.
Just want you to know we are grieving with you. Although we met Mike towards the end of his life, Jeremy and I always remarked to each other how much we liked Mike and were just drawn to him. I wish we could have gotten to know him better, but even knowing him at a distance was an honor. He really was a great man and a peaceful spirit.
Well done, Mike – your legacy outlives you, as evidenced by the impact you made on your children, on Cathy, and on people that barely knew you. Thank you for letting us be a small part of your life.

I enjoyed the years we spent together at St. Louis and Reicher. We had lots of laughs! Thank you for your friendship. You will be missed.
Words can’t describe the size of the. Void in my life without you now. I know your at peace now and that is the only thing that helps me. I will never understand why you were choosen to fight that battle but I know you fought hard and long. I wouldn’t be who I am today if it wasn’t for you. No one in the world will ever understand me or be like me the way you did. I am so thankful you got to see your grandchildren and they got to know how awesome you were. I have spent 31 years trying to give you reasons to be proud of me.and that won’t stop… I love you dad
Mike, you were a very kind, gentle person. You will be missed but not forgotten.
To Mikes family I just want to say that even though Mike and I hadn’t seen each other in the last few years I always knew that he was battling cancer and followed his battle thru his posts on Facebook. I’ll miss ya Mike.
Mike, if you can read this, seeing you at the Newmans farm a few years back was a blast from the past.
The laughs we shared as teens will never be forgotten, nights sneaking out to make out with the girls from the Methodist Home that we met while selling drinks at the HOT Coliseum or at Baylor football games are things I’ll NEVER EVER forget.
Roger and Elizabeth, your dad was a very good man and I hope that you both learned from him.
You older kids already know this, please teach your siblings, Mike was a great guy. I wish the best for you.
Cathy and family. So sorry for the passing of Mike, i only met him for a moment, but what an inspiration he was, you are in my prayers.
Mike was a great man. I know how well he treated my mom and that was exactly how he treated everyone else who came in contact with him. He treated people with the utmost respect and generosity. There is a reason many people have come together to give Mike the funeral he deserves. You will be missed, never forgotten.
I miss you dad
