Clara Egan - April 30 at 04:26 PM My thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time. I am glad I had the chance to know Mike. He always lit up the room with his smile and dimples. jody mortimer - April 30 at 12:32 PM My thoughts and prayers to Mark, Mary Beth and family. Sue (Myers) Baylor - April 30 at 12:08 PM I'm so sorry for your loss! I never knew you or your son but after reading his obituary I needed to reach out to you! I lost my son to a drug overdose in 2014 and I can truly say I know what your feeling! My son had an addiction problem as well, he also had severe PTSD and had trouble sleeping and that's the reason for his overdose because he was trying to sleep. He served in the Iraq war, the military would not help him. Again my condolences to you and your family! michele schilling - April 30 at 12:07 PM Mark, MaryBeth, and family...so sorry for your tremendous loss! There are no words. Just know that you will be in my prayers in the days, weeks, and months to come. Pam Gruver - April 30 at 11:09 AM My condolences to the family. I read Michael's obituary on fb. It was like I was re reading my son's from 3 years ago. My heart goes out to you all. And for all whom don't know the struggles that our loved one endured. They have finally found peace with no more pain. Brent Colleen Kiehl - April 30 at 11:07 AM Though you don't know me, I wanted to tell you how powerful your message was in Michael's obituary. Your understanding of this horrific disease and your willingness to give testimony to his courage in the face of addiction was deeply moving. My prayers surround you and all those who suffer the ravages of this terrible pandemic...May your words of compassion and love offer hope and wisdom to all who suffer so deeply. With God's Blessings... Pastor Karen Parsh KAREN Parsh - April 30 at 10:37 AM Mark,MaryBeth & family: I think back on the little guy that was running around playing on the bleachers and doing what little brothers will do. While, he was enduring yet another baseball game of his big brothers. I haven't seen Mikey for many years, but your description of him tells me he grew up to be a gentle, kind person. I pray for your family for comfort in the days to come. We are so sorry for the loss of your precious son. Rhonda & Roger McCall Rhonda McCall - April 30 at 10:22 AM Sincere condolences to Micheal Conner's family & friends! R.I.P Mikey! Prayers for you all to get through this heartbreaking time! Tiffany Ditty - April 30 at 09:46 AM Although you don't know me I felt compelled to send my condolences. I lost my son Michael to addiction almost 7 years ago and his 2 brothers struggle with addiction as well. I am sure your son was a very special person with a struggle that many people don't understand. Your obituary was a beautiful tribute to his life. My heart breaks for you because I do understand the pain and just reading his story brought it all back. My advice is to talk to other parents that have gone through this to help you survive. I belong to a parent support group and we meet once a month. I realize you live a distance away but if you would like to come or just want to talk please email at jcwurster@comcast.net. I will pray for you and your family as you begin your grief journey. Sending a hug. Carole Carole Wurster - April 30 at 09:32 AM What an amazingly written obituary. I am so sorry for your loss. I hope by sharing his story,it will help others battling this horrible disease. May loving memories comfort you and your family during this difficult time. Kim Murphy - April 30 at 09:19 AM I am so sorry for your loss. As a sister who has a loved one fighting addiction, I feel your pain. His obituary was very meaningful.

I admire you, Mark, Marybeth, Mitch, Marissa, Matt, Malia, Elaine. You've helped so many, and while you could have chosen to hide, you've stepped out to help others struggling with this same disease. Truly a family disease - one that affected you, too, and one that nobody understands unless they've lived through it. You've all posted pictures of a young man who loves his family, showing that Mikey was much more than this disease. I'm praying for all of you as you learn how to move forward with his memory and that, in sharing your story, you continue to help others.
