My thoughts and prayers are with you all during this difficult time. I was shocked when I received word of Mike’s death this morning. I remembered all the days when Mike was in the Junior Fire Department, Senior Department and the Rescue Squad. Find comfort that he is in the Hands of the Lord and he will be forever remembered.
Dear Mike and Luanna, My thoughts and prayers are with you, your family, and all those who loved your son. May the compassionate Lord wrap His loving arms around you and give you comfort. Linda

Mike and Luanna, Words cannot express the sadness we feel with the loss of Mikey. You know how far back we go…he babysat JoJo and Jeff when they were just little tykes. We were always so comfortable leaving him with the kids. He was very responsible and so mature for his age. We’ve been through many years of fun and sadness together. We value your friendship and share your pain. We hope it may give you some solace knowing that you are in our prayers and our hearts. Much love, Margie and Dana
