This memorial website was created by Karen Chance-Gleitz (Administrator) for my brother Mikel Chance for his memory. Also, in order for his family and friends to express their love and their memories of him in word or in pictures. Mikel was 58 when he passed on April 24, 2014. He was born on March 17, 1956. We will remember him forever. He is greatly missed. One day we WILL see him again in the resurrection...when we hear Jesus say, "COME OUT" and "all those in the Memorial tombs will hear Jesus' voice and be resurrected to life eternal in a new paradised world." See John 5:28,29; John 6:39,40; 1 Thessalonians 4:13; Ecclesiastes 9:5,10; Luke 23:43; Revelation 20:12-14; John 12:20-25; Matthew 6:10; Acts 17:31; Isaiah 51:12; Psalms 119: 50,52,76.
Taylor, Melissa and Mikela....happy in life but missing you ❤️
As life goes on, and memories of You come into my mind, one of the things I remember so clearly is what a tender soul you could be. You had your moments, days and years of ups and downs. Some people would call me an enable. And yes I was guilty of that at times… And so was Judy, but it came from a place of love. Mikel you are forever and will always be in my heart. We had a lot of stories, shared a lot of life, but not enough. I miss you every day... And every birthday celebration for you I take a bag of goodies to a homeless location and donate them in your name. I have recently finished course work over the last year that will enable me to teach people fall prevention awareness. The fall you had down the stairs at your apartment building is what led to you leaving this physical life. It will be my work and in honor of your spirit to bring awareness to others so that they and their loved ones may have clear understanding of how tragic it can be. You're in my heart and my prayers every day. When I look at the stars at night here in Palm Springs, you are the middle star in Orion's belt... And a shining star for me forever and always. I have been listening to the Eagles all day and eating Oreo cookies as I will do every year on this date...and talking to Judy about you! Let me know if there's anything else you would like me to do to celebrate you ❤️ Miss you so much little brother with your tender soul ❤️
I think of my brother every day. I never thought he'd be gone at such an early age. I was his protector when he was young and 5 years older. We always laughed together and shared our thoughts. It was a happy time when ever we could visit. Seems we lived in different places most of our grown lives yet we managed to see each other and keep in contact by phone as well. Mikel was always sharing his music with me...in person or by phone. His lyrics were so touching. Sometimes he'd call and sing something funny on a message and just laugh his contagious laugh...I miss that so much. I miss his hugs...the bounce in his step...dancing with him...singing with him...I miss the sound if his voice. I hold the hope we BOTH shared of a promised paradised earth into which he will be resurrected into and then we will be together again at that beautiful time. Until then, I await that final trumpet sound mentioned in Revelation...where ALL those in the memorial tombs will be resurrected. How wonderful that those tears I still cry..."will be wiped away" and only happiness will be experienced by all. So many promises await us all...I hold them (those promises from Jehovah and Jesus recorded in the Bible) in my heart. It'll be so amazing to see others there such as my Granny, Grandma, Dad, Mom, MIKEL, and all my cousins gone now...and others. I'd love to share those scriptures with any of you if you write and ask me. May our wait not be long and may we see each other in that new world...in Jehovah's Paradise. ~ Karen Chance-Gleitz
