On July 21st, 2024, we tragically lost a brother, an uncle, a friend, but most especially, we lost a son. Michael was admitted into the hospital suffering from a stroke after falling face down in his home. For two days on the floor, the people with him (who he thought were his “friends”) had left him on the floor before calling 911 for two full days. Had his “friends” called 911 immediately after he had the stroke, Michael would still be with us getting the care he needed quickly and could’ve survived this tragic event. He was taken advantage of for being good to his “friends” that were with him as he was in the hospital fighting for his life. These people stole his phone and wallet and were undetectable to reach when the family asked to receive Michael’s phone and wallet after robbing him. Had these people who were last seen with Michael immediately called 911, he would still be alive. As Michael was on life support, he was able to open his eyes to the response of his name, however the doctors gravely informed the family he was not going to get any better and were “100% confident” Michael would not improve the many conditions he was battling with and would not survive. Due to the stroke and excessive high blood pressure coming into the hospital, ultimately led to all of us organs were failing one by one. To have our beloved Michael not suffer anymore, the family ultimately made the difficult decision to advise the hospital to provide “comfort care” by removing all life support monitors connected to him and administer pain medication to keep him comfortable as possible until he can breathe on his own. 10mins after all life support monitors were removed, Michael was surrounded by his family as he took his last breath on 6:20PM.

Michael, aka “Mykee” (as he liked to be called), was a ray of light and had a kindred spirit. He loved to cook and bake for his family and those whom he loved very much. Mykee loved to share jokes and play loud music just to bring people together to laugh, sing, and enjoy his presence. He enjoyed giving his loved ones weird nicknames just to irritate them, but in all actuality, it was to share a moment of joy. He loved his family very much and fought tooth and nail to be strong and overcame all challenges that faced his direction.

Losing Michael has DEFINITELY hit our family hard, especially his mother, who did her very best to support her children as a single parent. Michael’s mother enjoyed buying whatever Michael needed and traveling to visit her son. Please continue to pray for a mother who is hurting deeply. No mother should bury their child before them.

Since losing our great grandmother in October 2020, then losing our beloved sister in June 2021, and now losing another one of our own. This has been a very tragic event for our family and will continue to hit us deeply. Mykee, you will definitely be missed and loved.

We are asking the support from the public to kindly assist us through this unforeseen circumstance to give our beloved uncle, son, brother, and friend a final and farewell send-off that he deserves. We are raising funds for funeral and burial arrangements so we can lay Mykee to rest before we say farewell.

Funeral -$7,771.

Burial-$2,500.

3 days before AUG 6 will be the viewing which costs $7,771.

Prayers would be just as appreciated during this difficult time as a mother lays her son to rest. No amount is too small. Thank you all for the support in advance, and we, the family, appreciate those who have reached out to us to share their condolences and memories they’ve had with our beloved Mykee. You are greatly missed and loved so much Mykee. Please visit us in our dreams with our angels who have passed prior. Rest in Peace.
