Mike was one of my first childhood friends, we lived two houses apart from each other. I have many wonderful memories of our mischievous. He had a brilliant inquisitive mind even back then, which made our childhood so much fun! I will miss him like a brother. Praying for comfort and healing for his family and friends. Rest in eternal peace old friend.

RIP my friend and long time workmate. Every time I go to Tyrrell Park and see your exhibit, I thought of all of your incredible gifts. You will be missed!
To Mike’s family, we are sad to hear of Mike’s passing. You are all in our prayers. Neighborhood friend, high school classmate and all around great guy. Loved talking with you and bringing back memories from the old days. You handled your health struggles with an attitude that reflected how we really knew you – with comical frustration. Will miss you, Mike.
Love, Jan & Andrew
Such a sweet guy! I enjoyed seeing his FB posts throughout the years and admired his strength. French High lost another wonderful classmate.
