My condolences. Michael was a awesome guy & he will be missed. RIP & prayers
He was my best friend in highschool. We went to bunker Hill and I’ll always treasure the memories of riding around in that old 4 door Chevelle he had. I wish someone would have told me sooner . I would have been there. I’m sorry I’m just now finding out about this. I still considered him my best friend and always will. See you next time brother. Love you
