Primo I can't believe you are gone, my sons adored you and always will have amazing memories of you. I will miss your surprise visits when you would come out to Sacramento for a floor job, or just call me out of the blue. Michael, thank you for always being there for my sons. You will be missed but never forgotten. RIP primo! Make sure to give Grandma Juanita and Grampa Tomas a great big hug & Kiss from me.

I would also like to extend my condolences to Mike’s family! You all do not deserve this and I hope you guys find closure and peace! He loved his family and Always talked about his kids and grandkids. I’ll keep you all in my prayers and god bless you all🙏🏼

Dear Mike,
I still can’t believe this. You are one of the coolest guys I ever met and got to work with. Im so glad I got the chance to not only work with you, but just to have your company at the jobs. Always cracking jokes and good vibes! Everytime you work with us I just knew what we would talk about whether we asked each other what we ate for dinner and you would show me a picture of what you cooked, what music we listened to or you testing me on music like who sings this and who sings that or just us always laughing and you telling me to call you DJ DOPE haha man not only were you a great person to be around, but I always respect your drive and work ethic and you talking to me about how much your kids and grandkids meant to you and you would alway be there for my dad and I.        I wish I knew you years ago when you worked for my dad just so i could have for memory’s, but I’ll always remember you and the fun times at work! You were a great carpet installer, but a better friend. We miss you already and can’t wait to see you again RIP Mike  A.K.A. Dj Dope🙏🏼

I would like to extend my  condolences to Mike's family,  I've known him for about 20 years,  he worked with me and my son on and off,  we always laughed and had a good time working together, from listening to him, he had a lot of love for his kids grandbaby and parents,  I pray all of you get closure  from this  senseless act of cruelty done to him, no one deserves what happened to him,  I pray he is resting in paradise,  until we meet again my friend 🙏🙏
