Michael, You brought so much joy and laughter into our home every time you were there. We love you and miss you so much but I know you are free from all the pain of this life and you are resting in God's arms. Me and Willie will always cherish how you called us mom & dad, that meant so much and we will hold to all the memories we made as a family. Fly high son, you have truly earned your wings.

My dearest Michael, You will forever be loved and forever be remembered by that big beautiful smile of yours. How it was always your main goal in life to keep others around you smiling and laughing. Your talents was unmatched, your voice so powerful and strong! You was my bestfriend and a huge part of my life. I will mourn for you everyday and miss you like no other. I will forever love you, always and forever from the depths of my heart you will remain.

To the other half of my braincell, my protector, my brother. Maybe not by blood but choice. I will love and miss you til the day I die. You stumbled into my life and made it so much brighter each day I got to know you and I will hold onto that love and light forever. Thank you for being my best friend and for making me laugh and smile every time I needed to lean on someone. Until we meet again.

I’m so sorry for your loss. Michael meant so much to me. He was always there for me and all of his friends because he knew how important that was. I’ll never forget his sense of humor and his big heart. He is truly irreplaceable. I care about your family and will be keeping you all in my prayers.

Our first band photo - (Austin, Michael, Tim, Will (me) & Nathan
The words I have cannot by condensed into a short message like this but I would just like to say how much I loved Michael and how much I cherished the times we spent together when we were bandmates in Arbitros, a small Sidney-based metal band from 2014-2015. He was such a unique character and brought so many laughs and smiles to my life. His voice, antics and witticism live in my head rent free and forced to smile when I recall the natural comedy he exuded. Aside from being perhaps the funniest person in my life at the time, he was also an incredibly insightful mind, politically and activist minded and on top of that, an immensely talented musician, surpassing all of which I had spent years attaining as a then college-taught musician. I played my first real shows with him behind the drums, those of which would cement my path from there on. I would not be where I am nor would I would remain in my field today if not for his contributions and impact and I am certain I am not the only one who shares that perspective. I will miss him dearly, thank you for all of the great times. Endless love and eternal blessing to you and your family.

Michael, I was so happy to have gotten to know you thru Bre'ana. I saw true love when you told me that you and her were destined to be as you called her your beautifulqueen. I was glad you had decided to stay and try to work it out with her, but I am lost on the ending of this. Bre crashed hard and is lost without you. I can still see your beautiful smile as you sat at Sunnys watching her work the last weekend we all saw you. I have a million questions but we are all left without answers. I know Bre'ana and her family miss you dearly and wish they could've been there for your home-going service, but didnt have choice. I know you are resting with God now and are at peace with life. Michael, you were a kind soul that every one will miss, especially Bre'ana and her family. You left too soon my friend.

Oh Michael I cannot describe how heartbroken I was to see of your passing. I will always love you and hold every memory we had together ever closer than I thought. I am so sorry for not giving you a hug when I had to leave Sidney and I am even more sorry for not talking more or saying goodbye when we talked last. You will FOREVER be in my heart.
