Michael was a free spirit and a gentle soul who loved his family and friends. He loved sports in his younger years and participated in various teams in League City. He was the happiest riding his motorcycle. He loved movies and of course, the seafood gumbo his mother, Jimmie, would make special for him.

I was unable to make Mike’s visitation today, regretfully. Mike is my cousin who many years ago was more like a brother. For years, Aunt Jimmie and Uncle Dave’s family would come to my parents house or mom and dad and our family would go to their house. They would play cards for hours giving Mike and I opportunity to run the streets. For the most part, Mike and I rode bikes around the area and some how managed to stay out of trouble. A few years later, we both worked at our Uncle Glenn and Wayne’s grocery store. The advantage for working for our uncles’ was getting away with things normal employees wouldn’t. The bad thing was – Nothing. Mike and I spent hours stocking shelfs and filling the coolers eating and drinking what we wanted. Those years were special, Mike was special, taking time to reflect on family. Life is shorter than we realize. Love you Mike.
