I first met Mike in 1997 and since we worked in the same office he shared many stories of his family and friends with me. I came to realize how much they meant to him in his everyday life. I also learned some important lessons from him. One lesson was to live life to its fullest and with a little effort you can make anyone your friend. I also learned that family, friends and happiness always come before work.
Even though I moved From Des Moines to the Chicago area in 2004 I was lucky enough to be on his redneck joke email list. I am so glad I had the opportunity to meet and spend time with such a funny and wonderful person. I can truly say he inspired me to become a better person. I only wish more people could be like Mike.
My condolences go out to Mikes family and friends. He will be greatly missed
Sincerely, Mark Lang

I was very saddened to hear the news of Mike's sudden death. I have known Mike since grade school and don't know if I have ever met a funnier person. You always knew if Mike walked into the room that laughter would follow. I live in Arizona now and unfortunately, don't get the chance to run into as many old classmates as I would like. The last time I saw Mike was at our 20th high school reunion. I was happy to hear that he had found happiness in his life with Sally. My thoughts and prayers are with his family in this time of sorrow. With his passing, there goes a little more laughter from this world.
With Deepest Sympathy-
