One word to describe Mike, magnetic! People gravitated towards him, he accepted and loved them all. He was charismatic, loving, and hilarious! If you were around Mike, you were guaranteed to laugh. He always had a great story, song and/or dance (literally), to share with you. Mike was a Marine. He was loyal and committed to all, especially his fellow Marine brothers. Special thanks to all the Marine Corp. friends for their love, support, and direction during this difficult time. Your dedication to each other and our family will never be forgotten. Mike, we will miss you immensely and cherish you through our memories.
