He was the best man I ever knew. My life is empty without him. He was my friend, the patient sensible one. My life will never be the same. May God Bless his family. Thank you for making life so much better.

I was a classmate of Mike. I could always depend on him to make me laugh in highschool. We were also classmates in kindergarten at Ogden grade school. Rest in Peace, Mike.

Thoughts and prayers continue to the family. Going to miss this guy! Both my kids, to this day, still refer to him as the "Fainting Goat Guy" remembering when he took them to go see the goats on Army Post Road. Rest in peace and find comfort in God's arms now.
