My name is Roger Wiggett and my wife Carol and I want you to know that we are extremely sorry for Mikes passing and want to give our deepest sympathies to the family. I did not know Mike had passed away until Roger Gilger told me today. I saw Mike about a month ago at the Reflection  Ridge Clubhiuse. I met Mike playing golf at RR and through great friends Lloyd and Earlene Endicott who attended Mikes church. Sadly Lloyd passed away last year. Mike was a fun guy, and a good golfer. I was lucky enough to witness his hole in one in Branson , Missouri a few years ago. I will miss seeing Mikes smiling  face in the clubhouse and on the course. Rest in peace my good friend. 

We are so sorry for your loss.  Mike and Cheryl were always so kind to my parents, Bob and Shirley Redd who lived in the adjoining townhome.  I heard so many stories about the paddle boats on the lake with the four of them.  When I moved Mom from her home, Mike was right there asking me how he could help.   Mike was always so friendly and kind when I came from Colorado.  He was a good man!

Thoughts, love, and prayers,
Michael and Rachelle (Redd) Eastep

We so enjoyed serving together at Olivet cooking for the homeless breakfast many, many years ago. We have nothing but great memories of  Mike during the time we lived in Wichita.  What a great Christian man.

Such a mainstay at Olivet!  He was a true servant with a kind and friendly spirit. I remember him as always smiling and greeting people with a gentle handshake.  He will truly be missed but knowing the greeting he will have in heaven makes my heart smile. 

Mike was a person every church should hope are in their congregation.  He was always smiling with a friendly word for whoever crossed his path. He knew all 4 of our grown children's names & greeted them when they came to church with us. He was special!
When he became the building manager of the church, Cheryl said she had to run to keep up with him as he keep things fixed & working at the church.  He showed his care for his church family with always being at every function.  He will be missed.

Without doubt, Mike was one of the nicest, most genuine people I’ve ever know. A true gentleman. I will miss seeing him around the golf course. My condolences to all family and friends.

RIP, friend.

Here is a wonderful memory of Mike at Reflection Ridge September 1, 2022.  Always a wonderful smile, kind words and a gracious person.  We have a special place in our hearts for him as he joins the first love of his life.  Together their joy was multiplied in their family. 
With our love

What a great friend who loved people, and cared about them. Mike and Cheryl with there dog little bit as I called him, would come into Lowe's my retirement workplace. They would always look me up, and brought me great joy to know they loved me and I loved them. Mike until we meet in heaven, keep the laughter going in heaven. God bless you Mike,  you made the world a better place

Brian: So sorry to hear about your Dad’s passing. He was a good friend and I’ve missed golfing with both of you. But your Dad is now reunited with your Mom in Heaven.

Brian and family, 
I am so sorry for your loss.  Mike was a wonderful man with a great smile, great attitude, and joyful demeanor that filled the room when he entered.
Great memories of he and Mike O'Reilly picking on one another every visit your Dad made to Grainger when O'Reilly was working.
Mike has been a blessing to know and brought such joy to all lives he encountered.
God bless you all with great memories.
