“In the light you will find the road, Mike.”🎵 ♥️
Keeping you all in our thoughts and prayers!
Keeping you all in our thoughts and prayers! Rest in Peace Mike
I’ll love you forever, thank you for making me the person I am today and giving me all the strength I will ever have. I hope I can carry on for you and make you proud. “Don’t Stop Believing”
Love,
Jamie-Lynn <3
You were my whole world. I am lost without you. The speed in which this all happened still has my head spinning. I know you didn’t want to go and leave me and the children. But I am thankful you are no longer suffering.
Thank you for always taking care of me. You completely spoiled me with attention, gifts, cooking/food, a good ear to listen, and most importantly, how much love you showered me with every day. I will desperately miss and never forget the warm embrace of your hugs, your smile, your beautiful eyes and hair, and your warped sense of humor.
You made me the happiest woman alive for 25 years. I can never thank you enough for that. You saved me and I will always love you more than I could ever express.
All of my love,
Your Sweetie ❤️
🙏🙏❤️❤️
Mike. Just the best. He started at Motive when I was maybe 11 or 12. Very soon after I heard the guys saying he was so good. “A keeper”. At that age I was hanging around the shop after school and during the summer. I grew so fond of Mike so quickly. He would give me a ride home after work in his big white Caddy. He loved that thing and so did I. We talked endlessly about our love of the Yankees. And our terrible football teams. (Mike, Raiders. Me, Jets. Ugh)
Mike was simply the best. Personally. Professionally. I grew up in the business and working with Mike day in and day out taught me so much. He was so good with customers. I will keep in my memory him answering the phone, “Motive, Mike speaking” for the rest of my life. So smart with decision making. He was just so talented. And he will always be loved by our family and the Motive family.
Our prayers and love go out to Dawn. Micheal and Jamie. You are the loves of his life and he is always so proud of you. That is forever. He told me himself.
All our love guys.
I only had the opportunity to work with Mike for the past eight months but I have known him since I was a teen. Working with Mike made the days pass quickly. The fun stories, the funny sayings but most of all, the friendship and help with the job. He was a one man miracle at work. The amount of knowledge and experience that he had was inconceivable. Life there will never be the same but his personal touches and memories will live on forever. He was so very proud of his children and spoke of his family everyday. I will miss him dearly. Travel well my friend.
