Mike was a dear friend and my heart is broken at the news of his passing. We were in the same class at Wynn School from K-12 grade. We were in drama and did several plays together. Mike was a ball of fun and I will cherish the memories. Praying for his family.
Mike was light to everyone. Always had a smile. People just LOVED to be around him. He was the best husband/friend/person I had ever known.
