I didn’t have the chance to know Mike, but I do know his daughter, Sarah, and her family. Parents’ legacies are so much defined through the lives of their children, and a strong and loving father can make such an impact. Sarah is and has always been such a joy and an encouragement as a friend. As a co-worker, she was hard working, creative, dedicated, and her work ethic was unsurpassed. Seeing her beautiful family now and her abilities as a wife and mother is such a blessing, and she and Owen bless so many people through their lives, love, and service.

Having raised such an amazing daughter and family, it is evident the kind of person that Mike was and the legacy he has left speaks volumes about the life that he lead. Praise God for the faith that he passed to his children and is bearing such good fruit.
