Terry, OMG! What an honor it was to know Michael. I saw the posting as I was looking for a different person. I was so very stunned. I saw Michael several months ago briefly at the store, I don't remember where maybe HEB. I had never seen him without his long hair and that was our conversation. I asked how you both were and he said Great... his positive bubbly attitide and expression was his signature. You found a wonderful, caring, talented, creative, energetic spirit when you found Michael. He loved you so much, I remember. And I know there are many that loved him as well. It was a true honor to know him. Let me know if you need anything. Elaine Murphy

I knew him for a short time. I trained him when he was going to c.n.a. school. Then I had the pleasure of seeing him again at lamun lusk. I remember him as a laid back lighthearted man. God needed a special angel so he called him home.even though he's gone he has left each and everyone of us a gift. May God bless his wife and family and know that God has his loving arms around you all. My condolences

Michael I wish I could have spent more time with you. I will always remember the times that we had back in the early 90's. Headbanging at your graduation party. The night we all got arrested for PI, playing football at the park with your dad. You standing up and addressing the city council. My friend I will miss you dearly. Keep my sister company up there will ya.

Michael, I just had the privilege to meet you! I thought, "How handsome he is." Every time I would walk in to Papa Chon's you would run over to me & give me the special, tight hugs! You were so bubbly & effervescent! So happy! (; Then--YOU BROKE MY HEART! How will I recover? I met you right before you left this earth! It was my pleasure, my dear cousin. That smile made me so happy. I will miss you. You were a beautiful soul. Sleep with the angels. Someday I will see you again. I love you, RIP. <3 Oscar, Mary Lou & family, I am so sorry for your loss. With love, Adelinda Yanez Ille

what a shock to receive the call early Sunday morning. I was in shock & still am at times. It's hard to beleive Mike is gone. We can still picture his big smile, his laughter, and his awesome personality. He was such a people person, so freindly, helped anyone in need, loved animals, & lets not forget his artist work & tatoo work he left marked on so many people. We will miss you dearly Mike, but know you are at peace and in a much better place. We will see you in heaven. Love ya. My deepest condolences to the family. We're here for ya always.

Sandra Silva/ Chris Chavez left a message on October 9, 2012:
We are stunned and saddened by the loss of Mike. Chris and I were talking about how the two of them taught each other how to tie their shoes and learned at the same time.We were thinking back about the night Mike did Chapo's leg tattoo and had a grown-man squirming and squealing like a baby!!!!!! I look at Mike's picture and can hear his laugh, see his smile and remember how we always felt welcomed onto their home, lives and hearts. I'm sad that time seperated our friendship and we missed out on these past years. Terry, I still love ya and send my deepest condolences to you my friend. Chris and I pray God wraps His love around you during this time and gives you strength. We will see you soon. We love you!!
Peace of mind is a call away. We’re here when you need us most.

Terry, please know that you and your family are in our thoughts and prayers. I only had the pleasure of meeting you and Mike the one time at Brandon's graduation from Boot Camp but you both made such an impression on me and it was a blessing to see the pride Mike had in you and his step-son's. I know he will be missed by all who knew him. God bless you and your family.
