Big Mike… my brother,
I don’t even know where to start, but I guess the only place that makes sense is thank you. Thank you for everything you did for me and for so many people. I’ve never met someone who loved everybody the way you did. If Big Mike called you his friend, you were one of the luckiest people to ever walk this earth.
You took me in under your wing and never stopped looking out for me. God knew I needed another big brother, and somehow I got the biggest one there was. You made sure everyone around you was smiling, no matter what was going on. The most selfless guy to ever live.
It still doesn’t feel real. I’m destroyed. What I wouldn’t do just to hear you yell “HUH” one more time.
From the Fear the Fro era, to traveling the world chasing your dreams — you were always a star.
I can’t imagine a world without you in it.
No more Jays games.
No more trips to Lincoln.
No more fantasy football… (you probably wouldn’t have ever won anyway)
But if I know you, you’re up there right now with Ron playing a round of golf. Tell him I said hi. Don’t worry about us down here — we’ll take care of Savannah and Jannet for you, brother. Just keep looking out for us like you always did.
Nothing will ever be the same without you. But we’ll make sure Big Mike lives on — through our stories, our memories, and the way you taught us to treat people. You changed more lives than you probably ever realized.
And like you always said… We’re here for a good time, not a long time.
I know you’re looking down telling us to be strong. We’re trying, brother. It’s just not that easy without you here.
Love you forever, Big Mike.
Thanks for being my brother.
Happy 21st birthday to my little brothers! It’s been fun watching you both grow up into the men you are today. I couldn’t be prouder of all your achievements. Enjoy your time in Vegas and don’t do anything I wouldn’t do! Cheers fellas
