I just found out about Mike's passing.  He was a good guy, and everyone had fun around him.

For reasons I can't quite explain, I felt compelled to check in on my dear friend and see how he was faring. It deeply saddens me to discover that he has passed away. Michael held the position of General Counsel at Spherion while I served as an MD there, and he was an invaluable source of support and guidance for me throughout my career. Learning of his passing fills me with profound sorrow. He truly embodied a beautiful, kind, and loving spirit

My deepest condolences.  I only worked with Michael for a short period at Signature Consultants and he was very kind-hearted, always had a smile on his face, and welcomed me.   Praying for God's comfort and peace during this difficult time.

I'm terribly sorry to hear about Mike's passing. I had the pleasure of briefly working with him at Signature Consultants in Ft. Lauderdale. I'll always remember his friendly smile and personality. I pray for his family's strength until they reunite in our Father's kingdom. May he dance and rejoice in the Lord's glory.

I had the pleasure of sitting next to Mike several times over the past few months at the Harvard South County monthly lunches.  What a wonderful and engaging man.  I enjoyed our conversations so much.  Although i did not know Mike well, I will miss him.

I had the pleasure of meeting Michael at Homestead Speedway for the NASCAR race. Although we had just met we shared a day full of laughter, joy and car talk. I like to think that one doesn’t need to know someone too long to know how special they are. On the contrary, Michael was a man that just with a couple interactions you already knew the amazing and special guy he was.
My condolences go out to your family Michael. Heaven has welcomed a truly amazing soul.

Please accept my deepest sympathy for your loss. There are no words to express my heartfelt condolences to you and your family. Mike was not only a special client, he was a good friend. You are in my thoughts and prayers. 
Please reach out to me any time you want , whenever you are ready or let me know how I can help in any way.

Mike & Mike stole the Mercedes Benz show in January 2015.

Mike & Tory on our 1st visit to Cowboy stadium in Dallas. We had so much fun on this trip!! In this picture we snuck down to the field during the game. This was 1 of my most memorable moments with Mike.

I’m so sorry for your loss. I simply adored Michael, we worked togather at Signature Consultants & often traveled together and experienced new places and food together (for Mike it was usually the chicken lol). I’m a better person for having the privilege to get to know Michael & being his friend. He will truly be missed and I’m extremely saddened by his passing. I offer my deepest condolences. God bless your family.

As the word continues to spread, we are heartbroken and saddened of the loss of our dear fun loving prior general counsel.  

He was so happy and could taken a joke. I don’t remember why we made these but will always remember Chrusch.  RIP

I had the pleasure of working with Chrusch for 3 years, he was so humble and kind. I learned so much from him! 

He will truly be missed!

I was so sorry to hear of Michael's passing.  Even though I only knew him for a short time through the Harvard Club, he touched everyone he knew and made them feel very welcome and special.  I will truly miss him as an inspiration, a kind human being, a mentor, and a friend.  My heart goes out to his family, his mother I met at the Science Center, and to all whom he touched and welcomed into his life.

A visit to Boca while at a work conference in Fort Lauderdale. Michael gave me all the tips for where to go and what to see ❤️

Michael used to write letters to me when we were in high school & college (before internet & email). He sent me this picture from prom. He was so excited about the limo 😊

It is so hard to believe that just 2 months ago we were all together at the Kiwanis 100th Anniversary party in Ft. Lauderdale. Our deepest condolences during this very difficult and painful time. You are all in our thoughts and prayers and may God give you strength to face the loss of such a wonderful person as Mike. He is in a better place. Sincerely, Giselle, Lisette and the Sacon family.

Saddened to hear of Michael's passing. My deepest sympathy to Michael's family,  friends,  and colleagues . I only knew Michael a short time as a member of South Florida MB Section member. He was always warm and welcoming and made everyone feel like a friend. Truly a good person that will be sorely missed by his family, friends, the car community and all who knew him.

Please receive our most heartfelt condolences on Michael's passing.  We will keep you in our prayers.

The Members, Directors, and Officers of the Harvard Club of Palm Beach County express our most sincere condolences to the family of Mike Chrusch.  We also express our profound gratitude for his stalwart service and numerous contributions to the regional Harvard Community.  Mike touched everyone who was blessed to have met him with his warmth, his genuineness, and his contagious sense of enthusiasm.  He was passionate about “all things Harvard,” serving not only as Director and President of the Harvard Club of the Palm Beaches, but also as a Co-Founder of the South Florida chapter of the Harvard Alumni Entrepreneurs and as an active member of the Harvard Business School Club of South Florida.  As Club President, he tirelessly moved the Club forward to greater levels of service and accomplishment.  Whenever we don a baseball cap, golf shirt, or T-shirt that is emblazoned with the Harvard Club logo, we will have another reason to honor his memory and to thank Mike for his spirit of taking the initiative.  Rest in Peace, brother!  We expect that you will have had Heaven's Gates painted Crimson by the time we join you!

I'll always remember Michael for his infectious optimism, enthusiasm, and strategic thinking. Thank you, Michael, for everything you've done to launch Harvard Alumni Entrepreneurs South Florida, and lead the Harvard Club of the Palm Beaches.

Grateful for your presence and will cherish the memories. Our family's thoughts are with yours.

Michael was always a kind, intelligent man who consistently shined with positivity and strength. He will be missed. I always enjoyed running into him at NSU law and related Bar functions. I will pray for his family for strength and understanding while they endure this loss. 

With love and condolences,
Your friend, Michael Santucci

I'm sad to hear of the passing of Michael.  He was a childhood play friend and even closer friend, later in life, to my sister and other kids of the same age in the old neighborhood.  I shared with him very fond memories of riding big wheels, racing hotwheels,, and playing ball in the backyards on Share Drive. He was famously known for knocking on neighbor's doors and asking for cookies, to which he garnered much success.   A testiment to his good character is  the value and importance he placed on his friendships and family.  My condolences to the close friends and family of Michael as they grieve his untimely passing. May you be comforted in this time of mourning.

My deepest condolences to the family. Michael is in better place now. May he  Rest In Peace!
