So sorry to hear about Mike’s untimely death at such a young age. I did notknow Mike personally, but am always sad when our “old enemy – death” hits again. I extend my sincere condolences to the entire family. I know the family will miss him very much, but I am happy to tell the family that you all can Mike in the resurrection. Death has long been mankind�۪s enemy. Our Heaven Father assures us at Rev. 21:3-4 that in the very near future, he will wipe all tears from our eyes, death will be no more��_ I invite you to consult your own bible and be comforted by this promise made sure by our Heavenly Father, who cannot lie.

My condolences to Mike’s family and friends at this sad news.
I didn’t know Mike very well, he was one of my neighbors from down the block. The first time I met Mike was a few years ago, when I was working in my front yard and Mike was out pushing his ferrets around in a stroller of some kind. His kindness and sense of humor stood out to me that day and every other time that I got a chance to interact with him on the block.
I will miss Mike and be praying for all those who he has left behind. May God bless you all!

I was good friends with Mike when I was younger. We used to go overnight cat fishing in Whitewater, WI all the time during the summer. We lifted weights together at Flex Gym in Racine. He was the most honest person I knew and an incredible friend. We lost touch around 2000 but I thought about him often. He always had a smile on his face. To his family, I’m so sorry for your loss. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.
