      You will be missed. I remember the times we would speak in the entrance of the Savoy church, usually about cars. No negative words can be spoken about you. God rest your soul.

    Michael was a loyal friend and a gentle giant of a man. He was always willing to help when we were updating Christian Life Church in Sherman. He was so strong while being so sick. We will miss his phone calls and his friendship. ❤️

    Michael was a wonderful Christian guy , who would do anything for anyone. As a classmate of his at Savoy ISD he made us laugh more times than I can count . The entire class would be cracking up then he would get to laughing also . I can still see in my mind his head thrown back and hear that big belly laugh he did . He was a person you could always count on!
    I know he helped my elderly parents lift heavy “big” trash that they couldn’t get to the curb . I never had the chance in person to tell him how that meant to me since I was all the way in Oklahoma City and not there in Savoy to help them . He will truly be missed here on earth but we will all meet again in heaven some day . Prayers to his mom , sister , wife , daughter and son in the coming weeks and months .

    Michael was a good man, and a good friend. He kept a very good attitude during his long illness. This world needs a lot more Michaels. He will be missed by all who knew him.
