When I was younger, my sister and I would go camping in Watkin’s Glen with Uncle Mike and my dad (his brother) to watch the NASCAR races. Enjoying time relaxing around the campfire together after a long day at track and eating a meal that he and my dad had cooked was one of my favorite memories with him. He will be missed greatly, but we will look back on found memories like this, as he would have wanted. ❤️

In this life, many have known the warmth of Mick's amicable nature and enjoyed the depth of his thoughtfulness. His unique skills and exceptional talents set him above others, making his absence keenly felt. While our hearts grieve his departure from this mortal coil, we find solace knowing that one day we shall meet him again on the other side.

Mike, you are going to be missed. You was the sweetest most passionate father I ever saw with your children I remember the time you was on vacation we went to Margarita Grill for dinner they did the 9/11 tribute and you got to go to the wall and sign the flag. That was a precious moment for me. We love you and I’m gonna miss you I know you’re an angel and you up there watching down in your family rest in peace.

We mourn the incalculable loss of Michael, a beacon of love and kindness. His humorous spirit brightened even the darkest days, while his passionate soul was vividly expressed in everything he did. Mike had an exceptional knack for fixing things not only materially but also at heart. Recalling shared good times brings comfort during this difficult time, though his profound absence is irreplaceably felt.

I remember when we went to that “not so private” camp. You and Steph retired, Mike and I stayed up for one more beer. We were chatting about the two of you. It was then that I realized Mike’s love for you was unshakable. His heart is with you always. Although we didn’t see each other as often these past couple years, when we did every moment was memorable for all the right reasons. I will never hear Cumbersome without a tear

I have been searching for the words to say. All I can come up with is how much I love you and how our love story wasn’t done yet. The world knew how loud we would fight and the nasty things we would do to each other, but we never gave up. I have never in my life been loved like that. For the past 18 1/2 years the only thing that I was sure was that we had a one of a kind love story. You have been an amazing husband, and amazing father and an amazing friend. I always knew that you were an exceptional man. Always. I am proud to be your wife. I know me and the kids will be ok without you, but you will be missed every second of every minute of every day. Not only am I grieving the absolute love of my life, but I am also going to miss my very best friend. Please watch over us and hold us tight. I will love you until I take my last breath. And I will try not to be angry that you left me too soon. I’ll see ya when I look at ya! I love you more!♥️

Mike, you were a great son-in-law. I love you and will
Miss you. Don’t worry about your family while you’re gone, Chuck & I will make sure they will be taken care of. All you need to do is watch over them while they’re alone. You were such a kind, smart and just a good man. I will always miss you.

Mike was one of my best friends and the fun we had and memories we made together will always be treasured. We spent every day together for years and I’ll always think of him as my brother. Although a change in distance made us grow apart and didn’t get to see each other for a long time I still thought of him often. Rest easy brother! I’ll always treasure our friendship!

Cheri, my luv, I am in shock. Mike has always been wonderful to me. I so enjoyed talking to him. Last time i saw him, he was working on the vehicle in the driveway and the kids were with him. You were out. He is your Angel and will be with you always. I love you and the whole family.

Mike was friends with my ex husband Dustin Reagan. I remember countless times hearing him talk about how proud he was of his 3 kids. He would talk specifically about Maddie--and how their relationship was special, and he said she was just like him. Bethany made him so proud, and Alex being his only son was his pride and joy. He would light up whenever he spoke about his kids.
One thing that stands out to me is how he talked about Cheri--she was his wife, and best friend. Even if they were having a disagreement he would say how much he loved his wife. She was 100% his piece of solid ground and his soul mate. I remembered thinking I hope she knows how much he truly loves her, and I wish I had someone that described me in the way he does her. He loved Cheri so much, and his children. Mike was a good man, he was honest and true to anyone around him. He didn't sugar coat anything. My heart breaks for Cheri, his children and the rest of his family and friends who knew and cared about him. I know he will protect and guide them from the other side. Sending love, prayers and comfort for all of you!

Michael, I told you - no take backs - when you married my pain-in-the-butt daughter!! You left us and now I have her back!! I have always believed in you to become the man, husband & dad you always wanted to be. With a few hiccups along the way, you finally had become that person and I was so happy for you and your family!! You were always there for us whenever we gave you call saying we needed anything. I love you and I will
Miss you until I die!! Love always, Sheila
