Condolences to Clayleen and family. The comments from above mirror how those of us that served with Mike at Ft. Kobbe, CZ, felt about him..........Mike was a pleasure and a class act.......TC

Clayleen and family,
We are so sorry for your loss.  You and Michael share a special bond. Martin and I were always inspired by your beautiful marriage and family. 
With our deepest sympathies,
Cathy, Martin and Austin Sams

Clayleen, so sorry to hear about Mike's passing.  Hoping the memories you two shared will help you get through this difficult time.

Clayleen,  So sorry for your loss. We have kept Michael in our prayers throughout his illness.  I hope you find comfort knowing he is now at peace with God.

Dear Sharon - grief is like a heavy load,
and as you share it over time, it seems
to lessen. Never really goes away, but
becomes bearable. My most recent loss
of someone really close to me was my
dear wife over eight years ago, but
she still appears in an occasional dream.
Also still talk to her during the day or
in prayer. Maybe I'm weird, but it's
satisfying. - You and extended family are
in my prayers.

On behalf of the Brothers of the Sacred Heart Alumni Association and Brother Martin High School, I offer our prayers and condolences.

My prayers are with you and your family, May the lord welcome him into his arms. May he rest in peace, and continue to be Angel to you, mom & Rachel.

Dear Michael, Please accept my deepest condolences for the loss of your father. May his memory be blessing to all of you and to all that have known him.

The world has lost one of the "Good Guys".  Mike was a leader in Pack 23 Cub Scouts and a great example for the boys.  I know the Shirey Family has suffered a tremendous loss. My condolences to the family.

Hey Clayleen,

I was shocked to read about Michael's death in today's paper. I bought my first house from you and Michael, 833 Marigny, back in 1985. Time does fly, doesn't it? And I couldn't have asked for a better neighbor than your mother, a true New Orleanian. Once again, my deepest sympathy to you and yours.

When one looks up the definitions of gentleman, husband, father, grand-father, mentor, honest, gentle, friend Mike's name appears as synonyms in all. Clayleen, let me express my deepest sympathy to you and yours in this time. In my brief time with The Weston Co. 25 yrs. ago, Mike was the man. He'll be sorely missed on this earth.
Sincerely,
Mark Richards

May your hearts soon be filled with wonderful memories of joyful times together as you celebrate a life well lived.  Clayleen so sorry to hear of your loss.

Clayleen and Family, Our prayers are with you at this time of your loss of Mike. We were blessed to have him in our lives for the last 9 years or so as some of the most wonderful neighbors anyone could ever wish for. We are here for you next door for anything that we can help you with. The Hope's.

Lots of good memories. One of my best and oldest friends. Plan on seeing my friend in heaven. John Kirksey

The Welker Family would like to extend our condolences to Mike's family and friends.  Mike was a very good man and we were very privileged to have known him.  We will miss his smile and of course the way he boiled crawfish. The photo is when we were all living in Franklin, LA after Katrina.  Rest in Peace Mike for you are now in a place where there is no more suffering and no more pain.

Haven't seen Mike in years but grew up with him and he was always a strait up good guy! My thoughts and prayers are with the family at this sad time.

I met mike thru work about 10 years ago.  I feel very honored to have met him and he taught me a great deal about hydraulics but more importantly I thoroughly enjoyed being around him.  He was one of the most sincere and finest people you can meet.

Dear family, May the peace of God that surpasses all understanding be with you during this difficult time.Phillipains 4:6,7.
