Although his time on Earth is no longer, I know we will see eachother again in heaven. May the Lord give your family peace and comfort in this time of loss. We love you!
Absolutely loved Mike. A soul filled with love, kindness, and especially laughter. So happy we reconnected when he managed kiddie jungle. Will always love him
Mike was my co-worker and friend. He was a happy, funny person that made everyone smile and his laughter would always fill up the quiet. He was hard working and he always lent a helping hand no matter what. If you were sad before you knew it he was making you laugh about some sorry he would tell. I know it always worked for me. I will miss him dearly and I am so very sorry for the loss his wife, children, family and friends are having to go thru. I know Mike would wouldn’t want us to be sad but it’s hard. He was one of the best people I had the honor of knowing and I will miss his friendship each and every day!
