Michael was a fast learner and hard worker. He spoke of his family often and I never heard him speak disrespectfully of anyone. My sincere condolences to his father and mother in this time of loss.

Ronnie & Joann
My deepest sympathy goes out to you. Michael was a good person. It seems like just yesterday that I came home and my house was a complete disaster because him and his friend Joe Bradshaw (my cousin) had decided to do karate on everything in the house. We became close to him because of Joe and grew to love him just as one of our own family members. He will be missed but never forgotten.
Our Deepest Sympathy to you and the family!
Joe and Terry Athans
Rest in Peace Mikey

Ronnie, Joey, and Doris,
I was so sad to hear of your loss. I haven't seen Ronnie or Joey in years, but did see Doris almost every day when I worked at the nursing home. My thoughts and prayer are with you all.

I lost my brother 4 years ago at the age of 23 as the result of an automobile accident. He was also a Michael David.
You have my deepest sympathies during this time. I will be praying for your family.

Michael and I grew up together from diapers. This is all surreal and has not sunk in yet. I can't believe he's gone. I will cherish the memories forever. I'll miss him SO very much. There's nothing I can say to Ronnie, Joey, or Doris that they don't already know.
Love you always Michael!
