It has taken me a few days to address the truth, Michael, my baby son is not here in this world walking and talking with me, his wife, his daughter, family and friends, and especially those that worked with him daily. He was such a loving and caring child I will miss him. The Word Of God tells me I still have to trust in The Lord with all my heart and lean not unto my own understandings, in all my ways to acknowledge Him and He shall direst me (Proverbs 3:5-6 KJV).My God is still in control. " FOR I WILL TURN THEIR MOURNING INTO JOY, AND WILL COMFORT THEM, AND MAKE THEM REJOICE FROM THEIR SORROW." Jeremiah 31:13.
FOR THERE IS HOPE IN THINE END, said the LORD (Jeremiah 31:17)

We at Allstate Insurance Record Center West in Coppell are so saddened and sorry to hear of Michael's passing. He was the electrician that serviced our account for many years, and he was always a welcome sight when he stopped in to service our account. He truly was our favorite vendor of all the numerous vendors that serviced our many needs in our large facility, and a friend to all of us. He was a real gentle giant - very friendly, engaging, and charismatic - larger than life in his physical presence and also his warmth. A truly great guy! He spoke of his love for his wife and he would beam when talking about his daughter...how she was the light of his life, telling us how talented she was at sports and academics and how she was such a sweet and beautiful girl. He openly shared pictures on his phone on occasion - showing us pictures of his wife and daughter that he was so proud of with our employees. God bless his family, and know that he touched countless people in a positive way during his too short life. You are in our prayers!

Michael was a good guy, treated everyone well and always had a smile on his face. LHS '91 was a small, close knit class. His presence will be missed.

We will always miss him; we will always remember his smile. Today is a sad day because he has gone to heaven. We will surely shed some tears today because we are sad, but tomorrow we must gather ourselves and look at life and know he enjoyed life to the fullest until God said Mike job well done.
