"Mike was a very great guy! I met him when I worked at Great Lakes as an Operator in the Datacenter. He helped me a lot on how to do certain things on my computer and he was a very intelligent person. I am so sorry for Deb and the rest of his family. Take comfort in knowing that he is in a better place and no longer suffering. He never had the chance to make to my house when I lived in Wisconsin for my crawfish boils due to work, but he was always invited. I am honored to have called him a friend and he will truly by missed! Rest In Peace Mike! Doug Loyd, Starke, Florida"
In loving memory of

"Mikey was a passionate Christian and strongly dedicated to all of the peop!e he loved. It has created a large hope in so many people's lives for this great man to have passed. I honor you in our Lord Jesus Christ's most high name Mikey Joey. Forever I shall miss you. I would also like to honor Mikeys faithful and dedicated wife Deb. For the battle was as intense for her as it was for him. He was truly blessed to have had her...by his side...loving him through all his pain. She is a Christian worthy of highest honor as well. I love you both. Forever. Amen."
"Dear Deb , I so enjoyed when Mike came over with you. We never got a chance to really talk before so it was really special that we had these times to visit. You both endured so much and were so strong for each other. Mike's pain is gone now and he is gaming with Jesus. You now can start healing yourself. You took such great care of Mike and I know how much he loved and appreciated your love. See you soon, Marianne and Patrick"
