What Michael was like
Mike was very generous, sensitive and compassionate man. He was a hard worker and always willing to help others. We love him dearly and wish he were still here. This is a horrible loss for all of us. We are broken hearted Love you beautiful boy.
Fondest memories of Michael
When his nephew was born Mike cried. He was so happy we were happy. He bought Theo a blue Teddy Bear. Theo sleeps with that bear every night. Mike was a giver. He loved his family. I cherish his gifts and love more then ever.
How Michael will be missed
We will miss Mike’s sense of humor. He was so funny. His smile. He was a no fear kind of guy. I miss that even though it scared me. I miss his beautiful face. I miss the closeness he had with his father. Mike loved reptiles. They we a conflict at times! I would do anything to see him with his snake wrapped around him now. Mike worked for his dad for years. When Mike left us we sold the business. I would give anything to see him ready for work and in his Kakleys now. Anything.
How Michael will be remembered
Mike was very humble. He wouldn’t want any attention. He lived life at full throttle. He used to say he had never felt happy in his life. I hope he’s happy now. Remember him as a human being with a troubled soul. He did his best. He loved us. He loved Seth. His Rottweiler.
