To anyone who knew Michael knows that one word to describe him would be, impactful. To anyone he’s come into contact with, he’s made an impact on their lives in one way or another. Michael was fierce and fearless in anything he’d do especially when it came to protecting someone. He has lived his life being a best friend, a confidant, a father, a brother, a son and a lover. In each of those things he strived to be the best he could be and would beat himself up if he felt like he fell short. You will be beyond missed by countless people. You will never be forgotten, each and every one of us will make sure of that. It’s been a true blessing to have loved you and laughed with you. Rest easy Mike, until we see you again.
Pallbearers honored to serve are Eric Moses, Lee Grossie, Junior Miller, Kevin Bass, Javante Houston, and Rylie Roberts. Honorary Pallbearers are Wyatt Holt, Brandon Gonsalez, and Deontae McGinnis.
