Although I never got the pleasure of meeting Mike in person, his personality and love for life shined through his love for Julie. Anyone that works with Julie knew Mike and the smiles that he brought. Praying for continued peace and comfort for all of his loved ones.

Michael James, my gregarious little brother from another mother.
I’d find Mike & Chris working on a car in Mom & Dads driveway. Or their younger versions scheming with some mad fireworks for the weekend.
At the time Mike and I both worked in Wash DC, we’d spend our lunch time at the National Museums. Mike was the most entertaining museum tour guide.
Mike was smart, talented and always surging forward.
Mike, my friend, We love you and will miss you. Thank you for being a part of our lives and for the cardinals you sent. Now kick back, relax on a puffy cloud while God’s peace envelopes you and you wait on the rest of us.
