Mike made high school a brighter place to be with his beautiful smile and infectious laugh. You always knew if you were his friend, he was going to be there for you. It didn’t matter if you were an athlete, cheerleader or someone like me that would never be one. He made you feel like you fit in and was honestly liked. I really appreciated that from him. Thank you to his parents for raising such a wonderful young man. I have lost a child too so I know the pain you are feeling but know you did a great job not only with Mike but all of your children. I was also a student/friend of Marks so I thank you for sharing your children with the rest of us. R.I.P. Mark
