Mike was greatly loved by his Gainesville, Florida family: Bob and Terrie, father and stepmom, Tim, brother, Jonah, Isaac, and Eli, nephews. We all have fond memories of Mike’s humor, ability to recite facts about sports, and his kind heart. He will be missed by all fortunate to have known him.
I have known Mike since elementary school. I could fill an encyclopedia with the jokes and laughs that he and I have had throughout the decades. Every day, I find myself chuckling over something that Mike said over 40 years ago. He is a true gem and will live on in all the lives he touched. We love you, Mike!
I took this picture of Dad walking Courtney down the aisle when she married Matthew. I miss you Dad!
