I had the pleasure of attending Lambton with Mike and then working with him at Tecsar. He was so helpful in class when I wasn’t sure of something and he was a pleasure to work with in the field. I’m so saddened by his passing and I hope he’s found some peace. RIP Mike. Thank you for always being kind to me.

Sherry and Tad. I am so saddened by the news of the loss of your special young man Michael. He was a light who shone bright whenever I was in his presence. He was always inquisitive, wanting to learn more, to use his many talents to create, experience and build and his most special talent was as a father who loved his son. My thoughts are with you both and with all his friends and family whose lives were enriched by knowing him. From Virginia, Phil and Ce

I will never forget my brother Mike. No matter what was going on his life he was so selfless that he would put it all aside for someone that needed help. I will never forget how we took care of each other. He was my best friend and i loved him. I will forever miss him.
