Dad- I love and miss you very much. I will spend a lifetime teaching my children lessons you've taught me, who you were and what you valued. You will never be forgotten

Dad:
You are the hand that raised me and made me the person I am today. I could not have asked for more and will always be grateful for everything you have taught me. Zach and Mackenzie will always have the memories of you taking them fishing. We will miss you greatly and will keep you in our hearts forever. Dad, I will see you again on the other side and will love you always.

Uncle Mike-I will miss you so much. You were a second father to me and there whenever I needed you. You taught me to always see the humor in life and how to always look at things differently. You meant so much to me, John, and Anthony. We will always love you, and you shall never be forgotten. You will live on in our hearts and your memory will be passed on to our children through the wonderful stories that we will tell them about their amazing Uncle Mike.

Dear Mike,
You were the big brother many sisters wish they had. You were always there for me from the time I was a child. As we grew and had families of our own you always had time for me and my children. Your love and support was unconditional. You welcomed a brother-in-law from a foreign land and made him a part of the family. We will always love you. May you soar with eagles.

Mike, the first time I met you, I knew there was something special about you. Your voice was very comforting and you made me feel good about myself..We didn’t get to talk or spend many moments together, but my memories I have of you will be forever. I spent the last 6 days with you, being there 24/7 talking with you, comforting you. I was there for you till the end., worth the sacrifice of time to be with you was the only way I could show you how much I really cared.. I’ll miss you

Mickey,
I remember you most from when I was a little girl. You were always so cheerful and had the most wonderful smile. Now that I am all grown up,
I cherish how you brought into your home, your stepchildren, Rhonda and Timmy, loved them and took care of them as your own, just like my Daddy (Doug) did for me long ago.
I know my Aunt Christina and your entire family will miss you dearly.... they will see you again someday.

Uncle Mike, Steph and I are going to miss you very much. You treated Steph as if she was one of your nieces and you also let her walk on your back. You were a great uncle and role model. I can only hope that I'm half the uncle to my nephews that you were to me. We love you and will always miss you.
Nik Shipman and Steph Jones, 17 June 2003
Farewell Cousin Mickey,
Thanks for all the happy times we shared.
We caught a lot of critters in the creek
up Hubbard! We shared jelly iced cakes when
times were hard. You showed me the beauty of
CO. and AZ. I'll always treasure the little
feather earrings you bought me in Jerome!
Thanks.."For All The Good Times".
Cousin Myra, 20 June 2003
Mike, A kind and true friend who will be greatly missed. We will always remember the good times togather.

I was thinking about you today. I miss you, thats what I wanted to say. I wanted to let you know I was sorry and I still am. I didn't cope, I didn't want to and I haven't coped because I can't.
I loved you and I hope you knew that. I still do as a matter of fact. I wish I could only take a couple of steps back in time. I thought I had forever but I was wrong.
Your Daughter, Rhonda, 30 October 2003
There is a void here with me where you should really be. There are tears of sadness where there should be joy riding on the edge of madness.
I think of all you won't be around for and all that I missed when you were here. I loved you more than I knew and as a matter of fact I still do.
Your Daughter, Rhonda, 30 October 2003
Uncle Mike I miss you every day. You helped me so much in life. When dad dies you helped me more than I can say. You were my second dad. I will never forget you or what you taught me.
