In the months since we lost Mike, it’s become even more clear just how much he meant to the people around him—especially Toni and the boys. His absence is felt in the everyday moments, the milestones, and the quiet spaces where his presence used to be. Mike wasn’t just a great guy—he was the kind of husband, father, and friend who showed up, who loved deeply, and who made people feel like they mattered. That kind of loss doesn’t fade with time—it’s something this family is learning to carry day by day.

Those of us who knew Mike also know how much he loved his family. Toni is doing everything she can to stay strong and keep moving forward for their boys, but no one should have to walk through something like this alone. If you’re able to give, share, or keep this family in your prayers, it truly makes a difference. Let’s continue to surround them with the same love Mike gave so freely. They’re leaning on their faith, trusting in Jesus, and holding onto the love that will always tie them together.
