Gone but not forgotten You will be missed by many. You had so many friends and did not have a mean bone in your body. I remember when we took you to your first Chiefs game. You were so excited and thanked us for months afterwards. Your smile was contagious and your sweet personality will be missed. Fly high with the angels. You parents and siblings are in our prayers. Much love my friend.

My heart is so heavy.\u00a0 He was such a pleasant and caring person.\u00a0 He was never mean or spiteful to anyone.\u00a0 \u00a0I walked past his apartment many times a day and he would holler out from his couch “hi angel”\u00a0 and “how you doin?”\u00a0 He would sometimes greet me by his door with a fist bump and big smile.\u00a0 \u00a0He was so loved by us all and will be greatly missed.\u00a0 My sincerest condolences to the family.

Mike will be sadly missed by all of his extended family . Always happy . He would always go out of his way to say hi with a smile and he a quality that would cheer me\u00a0 up under any circumstance . He was truly a one of a kind . I have no doubt he is with Angel’s in heaven looking down at us wanting us to smile and not be sad that he left us so suddenly . It is hard to let go . But he is in a better place waiting for us all to meet again.

This was very hard news to hear. Mikey was an amazing person. He was the most sweetest kind hearted person I knew. He could always put a smile on your face no matter what. Mikey always had a smile on his face. He will be missed by many and touched so many peoples hearts. My thoughts and prayers are with the family and loved ones. I\u2019m very thankful for the times I had with him and the memories I will never forget like the time we took Mikey and the others fishing and for a BBQ at Ray County Lake Mikey had so much fun that day. I will forever have a special place in my heart for Mikey.

Michael was a very special member of First Baptist Church Richmond. He was always quick with a smile and kind words. My mother, Mary Louise Tanner, was Michael\u2019s teacher at State School 33 for many years. Until her passing, Michael asked about her every week. Prayers for\u00a0 your comfort and memories.
