Michael Brown Jr.
September 9, 1969 - June 1, 2019

"Mike was my cousin, some of my fondest memories of him was how he loved to cook and when he and Monica would visit my mom when I was younger, and when I was raising my younger brother, Micah he gave him paintball guns!! Love you Mike and you will be missed and you are now a guardian angel to all of your family. You are now resting peacefully with other family members that have passed before you!! Love you always!! ??"

"I knew Mike through Monica, as I had worked with her for a bit. Got real close to them coz they were just such a fun family. There would be times we would have the kids over our place or we would be at theirs, I just loved how he immediately welcomed us into their lives. What I vividly remember was when we had to move Mike was there helping us despite his health and between him and my husband made it less stressful for all of us that day. Mike, the heavens welcomed one of the best angels the day you were called home. Watch over your family from where you are now that you are free from earthly suffering, you are and will always be so very loved. "

"You were my cousin and best friends we grew up like brothers as kids always together and looking out for each other we maintain a bond even as adults we made sure our kids grew up together we laugh we lived we did a lot of unforgettable thing together from Seattle to Tacoma to California I couldn?t of ask for a better cousin thank you for all you?ve done and continue shining your bright lights on all of us you can rest now so ?REST EASY SMOKIE? Donald aka the other (jr)"

"Over the 25 years that my daughter, Monica, was with Mike I always knew him to be a man of intelligence and good sense, and a man who only wanted to do his best for his family. It is heartening to see so many tributes to Mike saying exactly that. May he rest in peace. "

"I didn?t know Mike for very long, but I was incredibly lucky to know him for the time I did. Even in the shortest amount of time, he made such a memorable impression. The way I saw him care for his family and the joy he brought to those around him, I will cherish being able to be a part of it forever. The few times I was around, he always made me feel welcome like I was a part of the family. He would ask me questions and tell me stories and teach me so much all in a short amount of time, it was all love. One of my favorite memories is this last Christmas when Lamonte and I came to the house to spend a few days, the whole family had a ton of nerf guns and we all ran around the house battling it out and mike had his revolver and was just shooting at all of us and protecting Santiago at the same time. Even with chaos all around him, he still protected his family. I?m incredibly thankful that I got to meet him and experience the type of love he had for his family. And I?m also thankful that Lamonte had such an amazing man to raise him and mold him into the incredible man he is today. Thank you for doing everything you have for your family and caring for them like no other. You will be missed and cherished forever, I love you and may you Rest In Peace and paradise. "

"We will always be proud of the loving, caring and thoughtful man that Michael had become. He was a wonderful son who we loved probably more than he could ever know. Omar (Pop) looked forward to the daily phone conversations that sometimes went on for hours, and I will never forget his calls to my phone on my birthday and Mother's Day. He ended the conversations with "I love, you Pop" or "I love you, Diane." We loved his laugh, his strength, his honesty, his thoughtfulness, how he always spoke the truth, and how he cared so much about family. We will miss all of those things and more about Michael.......he will live on forever in our hearts. Pop and Diane"

"I don?t necessarily remember meeting Mike since he was in my life since a young child. I just remember someone who was there from the start and regardless of not being blood, was nothing more than a father to me. I can?t speak on specific memories, due to the fact I spent so much time with him I could go on forever. Whenever I needed something, Mike was there to help me. My first year of football practice, showed me how to put my pads on my pants. Took me to go get gloves, socks, and a visor. It didn?t really matter what it was, if I needed help he would show me, or guide me to someone who was better suited for that task. The one memory that I remember and I believe best suited Mike, was when my Mom, Naomi, and I went on a bike ride. We were all riding together and we came across a downward slope. It was a nice size hill with a big concrete roadblock at the bottom. Anyways, I start going down this hill and my brakes stop working, I?m yelling ?Mike. Mike. I can?t stop!? Next thing I know I feel a pair of hands grab me as I?m flying down this hill telling me ?Lamonte, let go of the bike.? So I let go and of course it was Mike saving me. The bike continued to roll down and crashed and I seen how hurt I could have been if not for him. I believe that best describes Mike for the fact he was a guardian and a protector over those he loved. Everything he ever did was for his family since I was old enough to realize it. I will miss you deeply.. I lost a father and there hasn?t been a day I haven?t thought about you. I love you and may you Rest In Peace. "

"My brother was my best friend when ever I needed some advice he would be there to give it, wether I accepted it or not.This is one of the many things that I will miss about him. I love you and miss you baby brother "

"I remember the day I met Mike, I was visiting Washington to see my sister and meet him. He was such an easygoing, quiet and warm guy. He had a presence that made you feel welcome and at ease. Anyone who had the pleasure of knowing him, knew that he would help you in any way he could. The world has dimmed now that he is gone, deepest condolences to my sister and the rest of the family. Love you Mike, we will meet again"

"I remember when I first me my cousin, I was fifteen years old, and he came to stay with Daddy, Crea, and I. From that day on and throughout my life he became my favorite cousin, someone I could always depend on and always would help me with my son when he was small if needed. He would then move on to meet the true love of his life, Monica, smart as a whip, a heart of gold, and the woman that stood by his side no matter what!! I'm truly going to miss you, and if you need me you know where to find me for you have been there for me as well, love you!"

"I remember when Mike purchased a bright yellow Dodge Caliber. He was SO proud of that car. He took such good car of that car. Since then, I have always loved "Calibers", but the one thing that sticks out in my mind about Mike is how much he loved and cared for his family, especially Monica! He loved his family SO much and was interested in the details of their lives. Mike was a great guy...a true family man. "

"I have so many memories of Big Mike lol. We lived in the same building when my twins were little. He spoiled them. We spent some holidays together, had coffee, and just hung out. My favorite memory of him is when he had a water balloon fight with all the kids. The kids cornered him, and ganged up on him. It was very funny. He was a good father, friend, and man. "

"Mike was my Sweetness and taught me so much. I remember before we purchased our home in Lynnwood he would get all the local children together to do water balloon and paintball fights. Usually taking up most of his morning to fill over 500 water balloons for the kids. I miss his spirit and outgoing nature. "
