Cartoon Mike touched so many people in this community, and that love and impact truly showed in his final weeks. We’re all feeling the weight of his absence.

He was an artist through and through — drawing right up until his very last days. His passion for sports, the outdoors, and the people he cared about was undeniable. Mike was always thinking of others, never caught up in money or the distractions and materialistic things that so often consume so many people.

He was one of a kind — the kind of person you don’t replace. His spirit and creativity will be deeply missed.

We’re seeking support to cover the costs of his cremation and celebration of life. Any additional funds raised will be donated to BVSD’s art department, so his creative spirit can continue to inspire future artists.

"Thats Just Mike"

He loves the Mountains

He sleeps there on the Rocks...

He will not sleep in Beds, On couches or Cots.

He doesn't drive a car

He prefers to ride a bike...

It seems kind of strange, but thats just Mike.

He watches all sports and loves to play games.

Most of the times he wins.

And that we can't explain.

I think all would agree he's good at art.

He loves to draw cartoons, Drink Beers and Fart.

He's a lot like a caveman. Big, Buff and Harry.

A bit Barberic.

He makes us feel safe when he stays all night

He rolls our laundry and Bends our spoons

And Loves to Barbecue with us in the afternoons.

He's honest. Thoughtful. Polite and Kind

He can hang out with us a lot, we don't mind.

We enjoy his company. We hope he stays.
