Cuz I will always remember you. We both grew up together, and did a lot of 1st time things together. You always seemed like a Brother I never had. I can remember when you were here in Florida and gave me my First Tattoo. So you will always be with me in one way or another. Mike we will meet again one day and me and you and Scott Norris will look back on all the things we did as kids and adults. I love you man. Your cousin Kent Shreve.
I am so saddened by your death. You were always so nice to me in school. I pray for your family and friends that they will somehow find peace and understanding. I am at a loss for words.

R.I.P. in Heaven Mike!!
Love and missed by many and especially those babies of yours!
So many prayers sent to Lori, Harley, Bow, Hunter and Matthew. I pray that your family, sisters, brothers, mother and Lori & kids will always remember you for the person they knew you to be. I pray that God blesses them and their heavy hearts at this time and for the days ahead. You will be forever in our hearts! You went so sudden, no time to say good-bye. We will never forget your footsteps or that smile on your face. I can’t help but to know God looked around his Heaven and seen an empty place, that is when he seen the tired look on your face, he reached out to you and wrapped his embrace and brought you to the Heavens, your final resting place. Although you felt alone at times, but you did not go alone, you took pieces of hearts with you, but the memories will always be with us. So, you did not go alone Mike. I know in my heart you are no longer suffering and worrying about what the day or days ahead for what they may bring, instead you wait in Heaven for us to meet up again when it is our time to go, waiting at the gates to welcome us through. I just want to say if I had known the last time I seen you would of been the last day, I would of told you everything that I am now trying to say. I want you to know from my heart, I will miss you personally and I am sadden by you leaving, but I keep my faith in God and know he had another plan, for this reason I will not question why and move forward and wait until it is my time. When my heart starts to grieve and gets heavy, I will remember the days you were here and allow those memories to comfort me. Your life was a blessing, and your memory is treasured, I will not say good-bye, just rest in Heaven Mike.
I will not think of you as gone only as your journey has just begun, for nothing ever loved is ever lost.. Thank you for the time spent, the laughs, cries, good times, bad times, and crazy times. Know I will always remind them babies (my niece and nephews) of how much you loved them as well as my sister (Lori) too. My kids will always know who Uncle Mike was, not that I have to remind them, for they already knew. Good~Bye is so hard so I won’t, but only leave it as;
Peace n Love Mike your now free <3
Forever sister in heart, Tra’ and brother Chris, your nephew (Timmy), and nieces (Arianna & Makayla "Mimi") <3
I am deeply saddened by the loss of Mike so soon. In the prime of his life. I met Mike when he was 13 and I 14, we spent the summer together. He was my very first boyfriend. I know he is with our Lord and savior. Prayers for Lori and they’re kids, to Mike’s family and the friends he made through out his time here. Jimmy,Mike and I had some good times together. But my best memory was when my parents actually let me go with Mike and his Mom and stepdad to his grandma’s place in the woods for 3 days. We had a good time going out with everyone boating. I will cherish those memories and all the others with Mike forever. God, bless those in this time of grieving process. Bless Mike’s mom Donna and his sisters and brothers and especially his kids, and Lori. Bless his other family, and his friends. Be with them watch over them all. God, I know that this grieving is painful, so I am asking you Lord to encourage everyone to remember the good times they had with him. I believe that is what Mike would want everyone to think of, instead of suffering his loss, celebrate it. In Jesus name I pray, Amen.
I love you like a brother Michael. I will miss you like crazy. I will always cherish our memories growing up together. Until we are together again. Love you always and forever my beautiful cousin..
RIP Mike. Going to be missed.
