Michael,

You were a bright spot in my time at All Pets. You kept me laughing at times I could only think of crying. You were compassionate while pretending to be gruff. Our family even shared a long history scouting together. Your dedicated service to our country took things from you, things you sacrificed on our behalf, but you were a man of honor and integrity. Your bond with Lady was  so special and I know you will be sorely missed. God Bless you, and your family.

I’m not normally left speechless…this has just taken my breath away numerous times and I’m shaken to the core.

Death and loss is part of life, I know that. I’ve lost all 4 of my grandparents-3 as an adult, a couple Uncles, numerous friends, but losing an “equal,” a second husband with all of the negative and none of the positive, has been by far the hardest! When I first met ox, 7 years ago, I made a promise to him that I would never come between him and Aaron. I would never be the reason Aaron couldn’t hang out with him or talk to him. Little did I know just what that meant at the time…he would be around for EVERYTHING!!!! I wasn’t only dating Aaron, I was dating his heterosexual life mate too. He was at every birthday, float trip, family gathering, game night, you name it. If he wasn’t at our house, we were at his. He was in our wedding, he was at the hospital when our son was born. Was at “master jasper’s” first birthday party and even got to watch him walk for the first time. He even let us refer to him as uncle Mikey after Jasper was born. On December 22 of this year, Jasper said Michael. He still hasn’t said mama or dada yet. But he said Michael, clear as day. I text ox with so much excitement and he responded with “damn right, give that boy a beer” 

He was like a big brother to me and it still doesn’t seem real that he’s not here. I keep expecting him to come around the corner and crack some joke, or yell at me from across the room “YES, PLEASE” or call me 800 times in a row just to say “MEGS, make Aaron come kill zombies with me” or give me a hug before he leaves. It’s just not fair! Hug your loved ones tight, tell them how much they mean to you, and enjoy every moment you have with them! Take all the pictures, even if they are ugly. Oh, and ox…your hair looks pretty. Thank you for loving Aaron and my family. You mean the world to us. I love you uncle Mikey, Michael “Allen”, ox.

No one can prepare you for the sudden loss of a friend at a young age. The staff at All Pets Animal Hospital have always felt like family to me, and Michael was one of them. I worked with him these past 7 years and learned so many tips and tricks from him about animal care. He also taught me how to replace the lights in the kennel, and after I started in an inventory position he constantly told me how much he had hated counting inventory and told me I was doing a good job. He had a great sense of humor, and loved to talk about his float trips! He was very particular about movies, but the ones he liked, he could talk about them forever! He was always helpful, respectful, and so prepared. He once helped me "break into" my car with his lock kit, because I left my keys in the trunk! We spent a couple of winters spreading salt through the parking lots together, him with his ice spikes on his shoes, others in boots, & me with towels on my shoes (which he thought was the funniest thing)! Even at work events outside the clinic, his personality was the same; I was on a Top Golf team with him for one event, and just last month I was his Secret Santa for the Christmas party. I had fun buying him little gifts to sneak into the clinic, & then giving him his main gift at the party which he was so excited about! He was also loved by many clients and patients at the clinic. My condolences to his family and friends outside of work as well, Michael will be greatly missed.

Summer of 2003, One evening I was asked to take a Boy Scout troop up to Antenna Pine.  As the Quartermaster, this never happens, so I was eager to take the opportunity.  Ox heard I was heading up and wanted to go as well.  Once we got up there, one of the Scout Leaders took a 15' fall and the Eagle Scout in both of us kicked into gear.  Long story short, we learned a lot about each other in a short period of time.  We learned how to get off Antenna Pine by going on "old man Lester's" property.   We discovered what it's like dragging a 1 wheel stretcher through the woods.   He was a great man and this world will miss him.

This was taken in March 2006. We were at someone else's house and I have no idea why he's eating cake.

I know Lady was there waiting for you, with a ball in her mouth, ready to play.  It makes me smile knowing there are no sick animals in heaven so you can just enjoy them, no more work days.  Love you ❤️
