Mike worked in the construction field most of the time. He was fun loving, generous,and caring. He lived his life in tune with the entire back tattoo he had that said 'Desperado' , a song by the Eagles that he loved. He was also a huge Greatful Dead fan. Seems so ironic now. I remember going to the Jerry Garcia memorial in GoldenGate Park. Things got a little crazy like they sometimes did when Mikey was around. He was 'never boring ! I refer to him as Mikey or Mike now, even though I usually called him Michael when no one else did. Turns out he really didn't like being called Michael because it reminded him of his Mother who died when he was a boy.  But, it was a hard habit to break. From the time we were 15 years old he's been part of my life. Anybody that knows me knows him. I will miss you every day. I can't believe you're actually gone. I love you.    MARINA
