Sentiments from Michael’s children about their dad…

My father won’t be forgotten! The love he had forever was always noticed. He was the life of the party! Always brought laughter to whatever room he was in! Not only that, but also his loud contagious laugh! That always brought smiles! We will miss you dad! I love you! -Anthony

My dad was like no other. Though he was a child at heart he never failed to make me feel safe, comfortable, and protected. He taught me how to love wholeheartedly, and live life to the fullest. From his teddy bear hugs to his reassuring kiss on my forehead… His absence will forever leave a void in my heart. -Aniecya

In your eyes, I see wisdom, In your smile, I find peace, Your strength gives me courage, And your words bring me ease. Though the years may pass swiftly, And time changes all, The bond that we share, Will forever stand tall. For I'm Daddy's little girl, Now and always will be, A treasure of love, For eternity -Raeleah

My dad was a good person who had made some mistakes but it doesn’t take away what good he had in his heart. He was a loving person who was always laughing no matter what, he was always smiling and cracking jokes about everything and made everyone around him laugh. -Michael Jr.

The loss of my father will always sting. But now, everything that I do is in honor of him and celebrates his life. -Adrian
