Michael Patrick Higgins
October 28, 2018
Michael Patrick Higgins, passed away at 57 years old. He was born and raised in Wichita, Kansas. Michaels passion and vibrant personality took him to California in 1988. There, he met the love of his life, Diana Madeline Higgins, captured her heart and brought her back to his home, Kansas. Together, they raised 5 kids: Halsten Helena, 24, Daghain Hedy, 22, William Patrick Higgins II, 20, Finnegan Elias, 18, and Shanley Irene, 14. He felt blessed to live his life and raise his kids in Kansas. Michaels contagious laugh and fierce loyalty had him making friends his entire life, but the friendships dearest to him were those he made in childhood. He will be remembered for his smile, lust for life and booming presence. He also leaves behind his brothers John and Mark, and his baby sister, Monica. His family, whom he cherished above all else, will remember him with loving gratitude. Rosary will be at 5:00 pm, Friday, November 2, 2018; Funeral Mass will be at 10:00 am, Saturday, November 3, 2018, both at St. Thomas Aquinas Catholic Church. Downing & Lahey Mortuary East.

Maddie and family I cant begin to tell you how sorry to hear of Mikes passing.
Mike and his brothers were a part of our family from their young years of growing up and of also of his Dad and Ila till their deaths
May he Rest In Peace and give you strength during the days to come
Maddy & Family – We are so sorry for Mikes passing. It has shocked so many people and he will be missed. Mike was so very supportive of classmates when they had a family member die. I saw him at so many rosaries and funerals. His humor was delightful. His politics so animated and forthright. His long time commitment to St Thomas and Catholic schools was very admirable. Please know you are all in our prayers.
May he Rest in the Peace of Christ.
Michael,
Youve always been one of the finest Irishmen that anyone could
ever have the good fortune to know and appreciate. God Speed Mike and may God bless your wonderful family.
Thoughts and prayers to your family.
You will be so missed, my friend! Always a smile and a hug ready every time I saw you. RIP brother.
Maddy,
Our hearts are broken for you and your beautiful family over Mikes passing. We are praying for all of you.
Love,

To the Higgins Family,
My deepest condolences. Mike was a great friend for many years. He always talked about his wife and kids. He will be missed.
Mike, Mark and John were fixtures in our house growing up. We collectively ran the neighborhood literally and figuratively. We were all tight from grade school through college. Mike was so passionate about family, friendships and loyalty. Gods speed brother, you will be missed by all who crossed your path.

So very sad to see this. My heart goes out to the Family. Prayers to all of you. Michael was a very nice great guy. He went to school with some of my family members of the Wagle Family.

Mike, well miss you!
To the Higgins family, my thoughts and prayers are with you.
Higgy was just the best.
He wore his Elvis glasses better than the King himself.
A truly great character and a good man.
Rest In Peace, Mike.
Maddy and family, I am so sorry to hear about Mike. I just cant believe it, we just spoke recently and was planning on getting together soon so that we would be able to meet you. I am just sick that I am not able to make it down for the funeral, please know that our thoughts and prayers are with you all. God bless

Im so sorry to hear about Mikes passing. His smile is what I remember most from Kapaun days. Prayers to his family, and rest in our Fathers loving embrace.
Mike was a good friend and a fine contributor to the commercial real estate business in Wichita. He was kind, friendly and cheerful. I enjoyed him a great deal. He was just like his Dad in that he never met a stranger.
Rest in Peace.

Mike was one cool cat. I can only remember good times when I was with him, whether watching our boys play baseball or having drinks at Harrys. He was full of life and always had a great story to share. I am glad to hear that he was doing both right up to the end. But his passing leaves me with a heavy heart–he will be missed. I wish I could be there for his funeral. Prayers for Maddy and the kids.
‘ one of the Best’ I will miss him. Prayers to ths Higgins Family
Sending prayers to the Higgins family during this incredibly difficult time. Hard to imagine.
Very sorry for your loss Maddy. Angels all around you and your family.
My sincere condolences to the Higgins family. We had lots of laughs and fun growing up in the old neighborhood and Mike never changes. Always Hi Joey. Thought and prayers to you all.
Mike will be greatly missed but his legacy of laughter and loyalty will continue to inspire. One in a billion. A practical and powerful example of a life dedicated to faith, family and friends!
Michael … was a mans man. He was the truest of friends. I know for a fact, he was deeply devoted to his family. He was like a brother to me. I will never forget him. God had him in an instant to hold and if I know Michael to laugh with upon meeting. Our deepest condolences to the Higgins family from the Porter family. Michael will be missed
My deepest sympathy for you and your family. Thoughts and prayers are with you!
Michael was a carbon copy of Bill – they were both one of a kind, and now both are dearly missed for their cordial and welcoming smiles and greetings of friendship. Our sincere condolences to Maddie and the kids.
Please accept our deepest condolences for your family’s loss.
