My heart was broken with the news of Mike’s passing. He has been there to leand an ear to me more so in the last year than the 7 years of our friendship. I was so happy spending last summer with him and all our Solomon’s family. He insisted I come, and to make it a yearly reunion for us all. I know when I return each year he will be there with us , as with all of you, Athough he is gone forever he will never be forgotten.
And will forever be in our hearts
My prayers go out to each of you during this dificult time ❤
I dont have to tell you how very deeply Mike will be missed ❤

Mike… your children and so many of your friends will struggle to understand… You were loved beyond measure, I’m sorry it wasn’t enough and that you were made to feel so empty. There are hundreds of pictures my friend that shows how much you meant and how and much they meant to you as well as memories thankfully at times that weren’t captured by a camera. To your children, Maddie, Ben… My heart is so very broken for both of you, I know the roads you’ve been on and they were not always easy ones to travel… Please find peace, you are receiving more prays then you could have ever thought possible and just because your Dad is no longer here in body, his spirit will never go away.. I for 1 as one of his many many friends will always be here for you if you ever so desire… I watched you 2 grow up. God bless you, Mike.. my friends… you’ve left us broken but you took our love for you with you… May it had been enough even though there was so much more to come. I’ll never forget you. <3

Mike and I have been friends for many years. To think there will be no more Tuesday night, night caps will be devastating. I would go to Mike’s boat every other Tuesday, after work and have a night cap with him. I lost my daughter 17 months ago, sadly the same way, Mike was very patient with me. He helped me walk down that lonely dark path, and with me, tried to understand the pain I was going through. He gave me advice, good comforting advice. Always reached out to me, and made sure my religious beliefs were in tact. Mike, I thank you for that. Although, I’m now left to figure out all this once again. I will remain confident to my Lord and Savor, Jesus Christ. I do believe, in my heart they are both in Heaven, probably dancing in the sky. I will dearly miss you Mikey. And to the family, many prayers, hugs and love sent your way. Please try to find comfort that he helped me. GOD BLESS Cindy

Mike will be missed dearly. He was a high school friend as well as along time friend. I had the pleasure of being his friend threw our childrenhood and in our adult life even though I moved to Florida. I will miss his positive and outgoing demeanor and miss his encouragement he gave to all in time of need. I love you Mike Darbie and will miss you with all my heart.
