    I never knew being alive in this world without you would bring so much pain. I know you are happy to be reunited with mom, the love of your life in heaven and your parents as well. I love you so much.

    Mike was always there to help and to laugh. I remember some of the coolest times was getting to hang out upstairs with you and Robin in Indiana. You really could fix anything. Give Gran and Robin a big hug from me.

    Paps man damn homie. I’ma miss you bro. You were a good dude. A great. I am going to miss chopping it up with you. Both figuratively and literally, cutting your hair and just having random conversations. You will be missed big homie. I’ma miss talking about everything and anything. I’ma miss checking out your hot wheels collection and telling you about my own. I know it’s silly but it was our thing. I don’t know another person who loved collecting them other than you. I’m happy we got to spend that last time together before your passing. Cutting your hair was an honor and being your friend was more. I hope your ok in the next phase of this journey we call life. I know your in a better place, that I truly believe. This was not the end of the story but the end to a chapter. I will keep eye on your family and I won’t let anything happen to your hot wheels, just a lil joke to lighten the mood. Miss you my bro. Madd Love, I’ma miss you homie. Thanks for everything we did get enjoy together, playing pool and swapping stories. Always gonna be in my heart and always will I keep you alive through our memories. Rest Easy King 👑 Love Ya Paps!!!

    We are so saddened and shocked to learn of Mike’s death..
    He was a good Neighbor and friend, with a kind heart.
    .if he saw someone that was doing something that needed help he would just go right over and help without even being asked we have had many conversations, over the years .He liked to show us his plants and trees especially quote those “crazy cactuses “ He was so happy and excited about getting the pool up and running, and he couldn’t believe how GREAT the house looked with the new roof and new paint colors,
    Every time he looked at it,he smiled from ear to ear all over again ,
    You will be so missed Mike.

    With heartfelt sympathy and caring prayers for all who loved him

    “Pops”
    When I first met him, he stood out to be seen every time I went to hang out at the house. Him + Big Cup + Dr Pepper = “Pops”. Great guy for the short time I knew and talk with him.
    Body may be gone forever. But his legacy will be here forever within those whom loved and cared. Rest in peace and relaxation my good friend u will not be forgotten.

  23. Shirley Troutman Feb 22, 2023 at 10:33 pm
