January 29, 2025 at 1:57 pmMy deepest sympathies to the family. Sadly, we always think we have more time…. as we’ve been planning a visit or road trip to see our cousins downstate. We are so sorry, Lindsey and family and Amanda and your family as well. Another heartbreaking loss of a loved one, way too soon. May you find some peace and comfort in his memory and each other. I am so sorry. RIP Michael.

Despite coming from completely different backgrounds Mike and I quickly became friends. I will always remember goofing with him when we worked together, and sharing our different tastes of music when giving him rides home. Mike definitely had a love and passion for music, he loved making things with his hands. Mike would send me pictures of his “man cave”.
