  1. I remember the day we meet.

    Love will always be with you. And you will live forever in the hearts of all that loves you. Blessingz brother. Give our love to Twitch 👊🙌🙌🌹🌹

  2. I have so many wonderful memories of my nephew Michael. The funniest memory of Michael is one that happened on a trip to a cabin in the White Mountains of N.H. It was bedtime for the boys and they would not go to sleep. They kept giggling and whispering all evening. I finally gave up trying to get them to go to sleep and headed off to bed myself. As soon as I entered my room, the boys fell silent. I turned back the covers to discover a snake coiled up in my bed. Howls of laughter erupted from the other room as I screamed in terror. The boys, led by Michael had put a toy snake in my bed.I had the last laugh as I put it in Michael’s bed the next night and listened as he screamed in terror. Rest in peace my fun loving nephew.

  3. Mikey is one of the sweetest guy’s I’ve ever known! We go way back I remember sleeping at his house almost every night, he was legit family to me! I’d give my right arm too have him back just for one of his phone calls! The last time we actually hung out was a week before Christmas he made dinner and brought over desert, we wrapped up presents for my kids and slept in the same bed! I wish I would have held on to him that night!😢 I never ever imagined that would be our last time chillin! Mikey was my little mighty soldier he’s been there for me so many times when my ex’s disrespected me he was the first to go best mode, never let his size fool you! His strength was as big as his heart! I will ALWAYS love you baby boy! Fly with the angles I know you’re at peace and feel all the love you have here miss you so much my newest angel RIP XOXO

  4. So many memories so much love we always laughed about the time about 20 years ago he helped me move and of course refused to be paid so I thought of the 1 thing he wouldn’t say no to so he is the only person I ever paid with a magic the gathering card

It was salem commons and an odd shape hack circle featuring some of the tallest people i know and one that was actualy my size..mickey, indroduced himself as silky the pimp, i laughed, we fought and it was for a mutual respect we would of never been closeer then brothers, i learnd to hack from this kid and i still rememver the day he said he was proud of me for being better them him.

  7. I met Mikey when I was 14 on the streets of Salem. Mikey, Alan, Twitch, Skippy and so many others became my big brothers over the course of so many years. I lived with Mikey and Justin during my pregnancy, and I couldn’t have asked for better people to lean on then. I disappeared after I had my son, I “got out”.. like so many couldn’t. But 5 years later, Mikey contacted me and changed my life. He risked his neck doing so. He got his ass kicked later for doing so. It was the definition of bravery, and it was who Mikey was. Not afraid, ever. Loyal to the end. Thanks, man, you’ll never know how much that meant to me.

  8. MIke you know how much you meant to me, this was such a huge shock. You are by far the most sincere and true friend anyone could have had. You touched alot of people it sucks that this the way you have to find out. You took public transportation the day after you got out of the farm to see me in the hospital in Jamaica Plain. Not easy from Danvers. I can go on and on. Till we meet again Fluffy!

  9. I was so sadden to hear of Mickey’s passing . My son (Twitch) and Mickey were best
    friends. Their friendship started in Cub Scouts .A friendship that spanned over 20 years .Mickey was family to us.

Watching you grow up I’m glad I was able to introduce you to my family and that they taught you a trade and as you said to me help shape you into the man you became. The whole family misses you and we will never forget you. So today I am not saying goodbye I am saying rest easy till you meet me at those crossroads and we can see each other again.
