You were my best friend. You were the first person at met at TI, and brought me into your group of friends and made me feel like family. You introduced me to Warcraft, then WOW. You always beat me at command and conquer and told me I was awful at minesweeper. You also were there for me whenever I needed you and I knew no matter how many years past we would always be there for each other. I can't believe your gone. I hope you found the peace you were always looking for. ❤️

Mike was the kind of friend that could always cheer you up! Even if he was just making fun of you (which happened to me a lot), his laugh would always make your smile. I'm heartbroken we have lost him

Geez, Mike. I'm sorry we lost touch. I so loved playing pool with you. You were so supportive. You coached me on that game winning cut to send our team to Vegas. It's gonna be sad knowing you aren't sharing our soil anymore. Godspeed wherever you are.

Mike and I had many fun adventures when we were younger. Always a character! He was far too young and will be missed! I wish all the best for his family.

Not able to really find the words...but trying. A great man, father and friend. One hell of a Poolplayer...and I’m very blessed to have been a part of that world. Always kind...goofy and great to be around. I’m sorry that you’re gone so soon. My heart hurts for sure. I know you’re in a better place and we’ll reconnect one day. Love, prayers and blessings to your family my dear, sweet friend! ❤️
