Our Beloved Michael passed away on November 14, 2024, at the age of 55. (8/20/69-11:14/24) For all who loved him, the news was shocking because his passing was sudden and unexpected. One minute he was sick with flu-like symptoms, and the next he was gone.   

We are all trying to wrap our minds around the fact that we can’t call him anymore, won’t hear his laugh, nor be able to embrace him. The cries and anguish over the permanence and lack of his presence here with us, has been an inconsolable and continual state of grieving for those close to Michael. Michael’s humor and quick wit was experienced by all who knew him. His heart was kind, gentle and he was a matter-of-fact person…he didn’t pull any punches.   

Our prayers go out to all the family and friends for comfort, peace and healing of those who are brokenhearted over the dreadful news. He is not gone forever, but is in the presence of God. Or as the Bible states it, “away from the body, at home with the Lord”. As we put our trust and faith in God, it is PROMISED that we will see Michael again. This is our Hope.
