Mike, you will be missed my friend.
We met Mike through softball when our daughter was very young. We ran into him many years later and I was able to tell him he had always been my favorite of all of her coaches. He will never be forgotten. Our hearts are breaking for your family. May the peace and comfort that only Comes form our Lord above surround. Love and prayers, the McGrew Family
To the family, I was so saddened to hear of Mike’s passing. I remember as kids, going to the same schools and all of the memories that life brings. To all of you I send love and prayers. Patty Blancarte-Crable
Michael was such a loving and kind person. I keep wondering why the Lord could take him from us in the prime of his life. It doesn’t seem fair but I pray the Lord had his reasons. Certainly He didn’t want to see him struggling for breath and living with so much anxiety. That is what Michael did not want. I loved all my cousins and Michael was extremely special. I cherished being with him and his brother Ric, we had so much fun talking baseball and our favourite teams. I am struggling with Michael’s passing but also this ferocious disease that is Covid, who knows whose life could be next. I can only take solace in knowing that the Lord Jesus is our only hope and we can all take comfort in this. Joey Gutierrez.
I am sadden to hear about the passing of Michael. He was such a good man. My condolences to the family.
Terry, Sorry to here of Mike’s passing my prayers go to you and yours. Larry Martinez
We all loved his sense of humor, his kind heart and compassion for others (and that amazing hair!). He was a wonderful husband, father and my friend. I was blessed to have lived next door to Mike, Teri and the girls for 25 years. COVID-19 took you away too soon, brother. Thank you for everything. I will miss you.
Talked to Mike almost everyday at work for 15yrs. Always so pleasant and helpful. And he always gave me a hardtime when my OU teams lost lol……..miss ya Mikey!
So sorry for your family’s loss! The whole world changes forever when a loved one goes, but their spirit always lived on in your hearts!! Maria de Lourdes Lopez Mendia

So sorry about Mike’s passing. He was not only a great co-worker, he was a great friend as well. God bless.
Mike was my neighbor for many years. He was always available to lend a helping hand. It seems like yesterday that I saw him out front mowing his yard. I will miss his presence. My sincerest sympathy to Teresa and family.
