I met Michael in 2016 ish, after he started seeing my mother. Within a year he had taken me as well as my siblings on as his own. Michael was able to become so much more than my mothers boyfriend/significant other/ basically spouse; he became pops. The man I could call when things went wrong, the man who would give me a job whenever I needed one, and the man who loved us as his own children. I remember one night after dinner at their house it had been raining heavily. The roads were flooded and visibility was minimal but I made it there with my sister and my kids. On the way home, my car started to stall and the check engine light came on. I pulled into a neighborhood and parked and called my mom and Michael. They came to the rescue and got us on our way home. There's many memories I have of him and all his quirky-ness; he was quite the sassy man when he wanted to be. But he stepped up to the plate when it came to my mom and all her kids. Knowing him and loving him as a dad was a beautiful experience that will never fade and never be forgotten. He was a remarkable man for all of the people in his life, and he touched so many lives. So even if it was only 5 years, he made a huge impact in those 5 years, and he will continue to do so even if he's not here. We love you Michael, and that love will never fade. 

I met Mr. Michael E Jackson in December of 2015. We spent New Years together.

On February 13th 2016 he called me. His car was broke down and he wanted me to bring him a double turkey sub from Subway. I did.

On February 14th, he brought me a stuffed bear and candy and we were officially dating.

After many issues got resolved we became a family in September of 2016. Michael, me and my son lived together until he passed on March 14th, 2021. He told everyone that I was his wife and my children were his. Every one of them. They all loved him very much as I did.

Now I wake up and go through every day without him. My phone never rings and it be him.

Although, we only had 5 years together, we loved each other and planned to spend the rest of our lives together. Unfortunately, it was all of his.

Michael is a very special man. He adopted us or us him or both and he loved us unconditionally as we did him.

He is one of the greats as we all see it and will truly be missed. May he Rest In Peace. Until we meet again.

I had the pleasure of working with "The Sir" as we called him, working with him always brought a smile/chuckle to your face as he ALWAYS questioned everything and sometimes even gave sass...lol..  Michael is so deeply missed!   I will always remember him for his kind and giving heart,  never expecting anything in return, just always willing to help and give.  I will miss the way he always made sure that "his girls"  at BPI were safe and taken care of.  I'll remember him for his generosity, smile, and his swag when he would come to BPI all decked out but I also miss the way he dragged his feet in his house shoes..lol.  I will miss baking for him, especially his cheesecake red velvet cake he used to like me to bake for him.  Although I didn't know him for too long he really did grow on me and grew to be someone I really cared for... and I miss him.  I grew to admire him from the stories he shared with me and how far he came in life, he was  definitely someone you could admire.  To his entire family, I pray for strength and gods healing grace during this difficult time.  He is in a better place, resting and at peace.
