Our hearts are broken to lose Michael. We’ve lost a most loyal, funny, kind and genuine brother. Our sincerest love and condolences go out to all of you.
I am shocked and saddened at Michael’s sudden death at such a young age. I always remember Norma helping out at school every year with all of her boys classrooms. I taught Michael in second grade and he was a lovely young boy! Mrs. Dombo
Thoughts and prayers with the family during this difficult time. Worked with Michael during my time at gorgeous motor company, along with some of the other boys and always was excited and later years to see him and see how happy he was and how passionate he was in his job with chicken poop.. always funny, always kind
