    Cheryl, words seem worthless at this time. I’m so sorry you are mourning the loss of Mike, now. I plan to be at the funeral. Please let me know if I can help you in any way. I’m so jealous and happy for him that he is with Jesus, with a perfect body, able to worship Him with your mom & dad. You have been and will continue to be in my prayers.

    Sincerely,
    Alan Hester

    I didn’t know Mike well, but he was always friendly. I don’t know if he remembered me from school, but when I saw him around town, he would always say “hi” and wish me a great day! Gone far too soon.

    While I only knew Mike for a short time it was a pure joy to talk with him over coffee. He was a wealth of knowledge and was one of the first to make me feel at home in Frankfort.

    My deepest condolences to Mike’s family and nearby friends. I knew Mike from FarmHouse at Purdue. We would occasionally meet for lunch or coffee in the ensuing years while I was still in Indiana. Facebook brought us back together a few years ago.

    When Mike had his car accident while he was at FarmHouse he helped to bring us all together as a group of young men who have now scattered to the four winds. Those were special times. Mike showed remarkable courage in his recovery. Never looking back. Rarely wallowing in self-pity or self-doubt. Rather, he showed incredible inner strength and took full advantage of whatever life dealt him. What a wonderful example of a life well-lived! No doubt, if he would have been able to stay longer, many more would have had the chance to get to know Mike, and they’d likely turn out to be a better person for having had that opportunity. I am confident that I am a better person for having known Mike. Rest in Peace, Brother.

    Mike & our son Chris were guards on the football team … really got to know & observe Mike at that time … always enjoyed talking with his father, Ron, and later my time with Mike sitting around the tables in the library coffee shop. Mike was always interested in what Chris was doing and how Phoebe was doing in real estate. One of the last times I was with him in the coffee shop, he introduced me to a friend he had invited to the coffee shop for a cup of coffee … typical Mike always connecting with people. We’ll miss Mike. Our prayers are with the family.

    So sorry to hear of Mike’s passing. Our families attended Grace Baptist together. Mike would always say hi whenever he saw one of us. It is such a comfort to know he is forever healed and celebrating in Heaven. Praying for your family during this time.

    Sorry for your loss, I enjoyed cutting his hair, he always like to tease people in the shop. We talked about your dad, mom and your family. In the winter he would bring me coffee from McDonald’s, and I’m not big coffee drinker. I never had the heart to tell him that, just knocked some off the price of haircut.
