I remember being really young and shy all the time. He and cousin Erik would always come around, double trouble, and play with all of the kids. He always has a way of bringing people out of their shells and have a good time. He helped me learn to be more comfortable with myself and speak my mind. Even though our time with him was short, I carry the lessons he taught me
Heartbroken to hear about the passing of my dear friend. Michaels kindness, laughter, and presence will never be forgotten. Michael was one of my best friends growing up. We made lots of memories together. My thoughts are with his family and loved ones especially his boys, during this time. Rest easy, my friend.
