Uncle Mike,

We met once after the passing of my biological father (Alfred William Lutz aka Skipper).  You shared your memories of him and Carol growing up.   Though we never had the chance to grow closer, my brother and I (Shawn) saw you in passing for years.  You smiled daily as you protected citizens, students on NW Military when departing Castle Hills Church.  Shawn read your name tag one day and we finally made the connection.  

At our meeting you had kind and gentle eyes and a loving demeanor.  I would have been proud to call you Uncle Mike and known you more.  

Having many friends in the police departments, I asked about you frequently.  Many kind stories were shared from colleagues of the Bexar County Sheriff Department.  You were and honorable man, who was loved, and highly respected for his dedication of service.  You will always be cherished by those who's lives you touched.

Love,

Chris

My dearest Michael, I wish there was a way to reach you just for a second to tell you all the things I didn't get to say before you left. How sorry I am that I didn't tell you enough that you were the most wonderful man I have ever known and the BEST thing that EVER happened to me.  I keep asking God to send a signal letting me know that you can see/feel how much I love and miss you-a sign from you to assure me that you know.  Our lives are broken, nothing is or will ever be the same.  Nothing means anything anymore.  The movies we loved, the lake, San Francisco, nothing will ever have the same meaning or excite me again.  I just feel numb all the time.  You left in such a hurry I didn't get to say all the things I wanted to say to you.  To thank you for all the things you did for me and the kids, and the grandkids.  Most of all for your undying love for all of us.  Oh how very sad and broken we all are.  We keep trying to pray you back, wish you back, but we all know we are one step closer to you with each passing day.  Rest in peace my love. Caro

They say memories are golden well maybe that is true. I never wanted memories, I only wanted you.

A million times I needed you, a million times I cried. If love alone could have saved you you never would have died.

In life I loved you dearly, In death I love you still. In my heart you hold a place no one could ever fill.

If tears could build a stairway and heartache make a lane, I'd walk the path to heaven and bring you back again.

Our family chain is broken, and nothing seems the same. But as God calls us one by one, the chain will link again.

My Darling Michael,  I thought of you all day on Father's Day and I was so sad that I couldn't buy you a Father's Day card, or cook your favorite meal, or just sit and watch "Under The Tuscan Sun" with you.  But If red roses grow in heaven, Lord pick a bunch for me. Place them in Michael's arms and tell him they're from me. Tell him I love and miss him, and when he turns to smile, place a kiss upon his cheek and hold him for awhile. Remembering him is easy, I do it everyday! I'd give anything for just one more phone call to hear him say "Hi honey, it's me!" calling to check on you." I love you, Michael and I'm lost without you. I wish I could hear your voice just once more, and bring you a Sunkist just once more.  Until I see you again, I will hold you FOREVER in my heart, my thoughts, and my dreams! Happy Father's Day sweetheart! Your loving wife, Caroline

I hope your Father's Day in Heaven was the best you've ever had and I hope that you have THX Surround Sound, your favorite movies, your sunkist, your boat, lake house and lots of friends keeping you company.  I guess you don't have to issue any warrants in Heaven; I hope you never get bored there.  Surely God has you on a task that you are enjoying.  Whatever it is, I know you are doing it bigger and better than anyone ever could or would!  

I wish I could throw my arms around you, kiss your checks, give you the biggest bear hug ever and see you smile. 

Thank you for living the extraordinary life you did because it's my only assurance that I will see you again, in Heaven...where you wait for us. Until then...you live on forever in my heart, in my mind, in my soul...I love you.

Your loving daughter,

Michael

His smile brought us joy and happiness, his piercing blue eyes revealed his kind and generous heart, his love for movies exposed his tender side, his struggle exhibited remarkable strength and courage, he lived his life as a perfect example of how life should be lived, memories of him will reign within our hearts and minds forever….

We miss you my brother, Michael….

There are no words to describe how much Michael meant to us. It is evident that Michael touched so many lives and was a true blessing to his family and friends. He was compassionate and caring and we are so blessed to have had Michael in our lives. We will forever miss him, but look forward to our reunion with him. Heaven gained a true angel!

Our dearest Michael,

Not a day goes by that we don't think of you. We miss you very much. We think of you everytime we see sunkist orange, danish rolls, donuts, and all of your favorite things. We miss your contagious smile and beautiful blue eyes. Most of all, we miss having you visit us in our home. You brought so much joy to our family. Until we meet again, we love you so much Michael.

Mary & Larry

May the love of friends and family carry you through your grief.

Caroline,
Our hearts go out to you during this time of sorrow.  We were so saddened to hear of Michael's illness and then his passing.  He was a kind man with an infectious smile!  Please know you are in our thoughts and our prayers.  We are so sorry that we were unable to be there with you, but you were certainly in our prayers.

Blessings,

I have worked professionally with Mike over the past 10 years, and I am so sad for his family's loss. This law firm has lost a friend and a deputy we considered one of the "best in Texas". Prayers go to his family as you cope with the loss of this most remarkable person.

A friend you never forget!! Even though I had not seen Michael since we graduated from High school, he has always been in my thought and memories. God bless his family.

My darling Michael,

Oh how I miss you!  If hearts could crumble before our eyes, you would be able to see all the broken pieces of my heart.  I cannot imagine my life without you, or how I am going to go on without you.  You were the best thing that ever happened to me.  I am better person because of you.  You were the BEST person and man I have EVER known.  You were a wonderful caring husband, father, and grandfather.  I will always cherrish the beautiful memories of our lives together, especially our beloved Carmel, Big Sur, Monterey, and San Francisco where we talked about going back to only a few weeks ago.  I love you with all my heart and I will love and miss you FOREVER and EVER!  Your wife, Caroline

What a fabulous man Michael was!  We loved him and we love his family!  You are all in our prayers.

God bless this family and may you find peace in the knowledge that love such as yours can not die, it merely transcends the space of this world.  God will sustain you until you meet again!

I miss Mikey!  I love you Mom, your strength amazes me.  I'm so blessed to be your son.

As the days and weeks pass, and as you return to life's routine, may you continue to feel comforted by the love and support of family and friends.

I will miss you for the rest of my life and still cannot believe that you are really gone. You were and are our angel and what a privilege it has been to know and love you over the years.  You were the love of our lives and our lives have been forever changed by your love, devotion, wisdom, and courage.  I miss your beautiful blue eyes, your contageous smile and laugh, your hugs, our talks, your comfort in my times of stress or heartache.  I miss your soothing voice and the peace I would feel when you would tell me "everything is going to be ok."  If only I could hear you tell me this now.  I wonder if you will ever know how loved and adored you were and are.  I wonder if you will ever know the lives you touched and changed forever.  I wonder if you will ever know that losing you is the greatest loss we have ever had in our lives.  Michael, you loved us perfectly and I don't know what we would have ever done without you and your love.  You made our lives better and loved us with ever ounce of your being.  You were the most selfless human being I have ever known and your legacy will live on through Mom, me, Brad, and your grandchildren.  You have taught us so much about life and love and how to do it in a way in which is pleasing to God.  I don't understand why God took you from us, but I tell myself it had to be because you had done EVERYTHING here so well and God was so pleased with you, his child, that he was ready to hold you in his arms and say to you "WELL DONE!"  Michael, I know that I will never get over the pain of losing you and the only thing that brings me comfort is knowing that I will see you again. My heart longs for you and I hope that in time I will be able to get through one day without the sadness I feel right now.  I am going to live the rest of my life a better person because of you sweet Michael.

Michael's niece (Nicole Crockett Mucha) is a dear friend of mine and I have also gotten to spend some time with his beautiful daughter, Liane.  My deepest sympathy to Liane, Nicole and the rest of your family.  Just from reading the things that everyone has said about him, he sounds like someone that I would have loved to have known personally. His memory and legacy will live on.  Praying for you all.
Sincerely,

Caroline, Les and I are so very sorry for your loss.  We are so thankful that are glorious Lord will comfort and strengthen you.

We love you,
Les and Carrie Williams

Caroline, I am so sorry for your loss.  My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family during this difficult time.  Mike was a terrific man and he will be truly missed by everyone here at St. Matthew Catholic School.

Dear Carylon and Family, You have my deepest sympathy and I pray the Holy Spirit will comfort you and keep you. I am so sorry I can not be there. I love you, Joy

I pray for God to comfort you during this time of your loss. I Knew Officer Lutz when I worked at the Bexar County Adult Detention Center as the Medical Administrator (1992-2005). I pray that the words below will provide comfort to you. ---- Mike Provost

JOHN 11:25-26 Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in me will live, even though he dies; 26 and whoever lives and believes in me will never die.

Mike will be missed.  I really enjoyed working with him at VIA while I was still living in San Antonio.  He was a joy to work with.

Members at Brad's "Home" church - North Richland Hills Baptist. Have had the privilege of praying for all of you and we continue in your time of loss.

Caroline,
Our sincerest condolences on the loss of your husband.
Norma Jean and Joe Ybarra

Caroline & Family,
 Words cannot express the depth of our grief. I pray for your comfort through Jesus Christ. Michael was a real-life hero and we are grateful for his long service to his country and his state.

Caroline - Gary & I were sad to hear about Michael's passing and I know that kind words do help a little.  God's words are more powerful and this brings to mind 1-Corinthian 2:9---"No eye has seen, no ear has heard, and no mind has imagined what God has prepared for those who love him".  But now Michael knows....and we will one day, too.  We love you.

Officer Lutz was truly a Godsend to all of us at St. Matthew School.  He was there each morning, smiling and waving at the many children who adored him.  His bright smile and caring manner will be with us always. He will forever be a member of St. Matthew Catholic School.  No one will be able to replace him in our hearts.  My thoughts and prayers go out to his entire family.

Caroline & Family,
We are praying for you comfort...seek His face and He will be faithful...

Mike..God be with you and your loving family, we will miss you

Ret Deputy F. Polk

In addition to my duties as Chaplain of the Bexar County Sheriff Reserves, it was a pleasure to be in almost daily contact with Mike while he was our Coordinator. My wife, Mary, took many of his calls and we both will always remember his deep, strong voice which remarkably conveyed the twinkle of his blue eyes. We will soon see him again on those streets of gold in heaven.
Mary and Otto Vehle, San Antonio, TX

Your work down here is done. Let the rest of us continue to fight the good fight. God Speed Mike!

Officer Lutz was a pillar to me and my children.  We counted on seeing him every morning as we arrived at school.  We will miss his presence and his cheery " good mornin' ".  But, as my wise 8-year old relayed, there's probably a new school in heaven that needed him to direct their traffic.  Our thoughts and prayers are with you.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. I wish I could have had the chance to meet Michael. He sure seemed to be a wonderful person. His memories will be sacred to you. We hold you up in prayer.  Mike and Bonnie Enos

Michael:
 What a gift you have been in my life. Our childhood together was wonderful.  You were a brother I always could count on.

My heart is broken because you are physically separated from me. But, you will always live in my mind and heart.

Picturing your big blue eyes and your deep dimples as you smile at the celebration of your homecoming and seeing King Jesus. 

Your sister,

My thoughts and prayers are with you at this very difficult time.  Please know I am only a phone call away.  Cherish the memories as they will carry you thru.  Love you.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you in your time of grief. May your memories bring you comfort.  You and your family are in our thoughts.

What beautiful memories we have of Michael in these pictures and in our hearts,  He was truly a fine gentleman, a wonderful husband and grandfather!  We were all blessed to know him and privledged to share a conversation or prayer with him, all the more.  May he rest in Eternal peace with our Lord in Heaven (at the lake house he always wanted).  We pray for his beautiful family to have peace and courage to go forth in this temporary life, until they are with their beloved Michael again....We love you all so very much.

What wonderful memories we have of Michael. He was loved by so many and his family was his greatest pride.  Our love to each of you as you go through this difficult time. Your wonderful, loving  memories of Michael will fill your hearts with joy and these memories will sustain you forever.
