My heart hurts for the family. I’ve known Michael since he was 8 years old. I had to go to Betty and Vern’s to get approval to date Betty’s little brother. This of course included the kids. Michael sat next to me and entertained me the whole time. We had many great times over the years and of course the teasing me was always a part of it. He will be missed by everyone who knew him. Play your music in heaven Michael. Betty and Vern I can’t imagine your grieve. Darrell Cheryl Kendall and Jaynell hang on to those good memories. Chad and Crystal I am so sorry. losing a parent is so difficult. My kids miss their dad everyday. The memories have slowly turned to the fun and funny times they had. God Bless you Love, Auntie Lynn

Michael and I were classmates all the way through high school. I accidentally stabbed him in the hand with a pencil in junior high. Sorry Mike. I'm even sorrier that he passed away. I'm sure he will be missed.
