Six months ago, Mike was diagnosed with Stage 3 Follicular Lymphoma. Throughout this time, he fought chemotherapy with all his strength and courage. In December, he faced a five-week hospitalization due to cancer-related complications, but by a miracle, he was able to return home for almost a week. On February 6, 2026, Mike was readmitted to the ER, and just two days later, surrounded by his family and close friends, he passed from this life. Mike's bravery and resilience touched everyone who knew him. While his loved ones find peace knowing he is no longer in pain, his family—Chris, and their children Mikayla, Jade, and Jackson—are left to grieve and rebuild their lives. The loss is profound, and the journey ahead will be challenging as they adjust to a new normal without Mike. I am a friend of the family, and I have witnessed firsthand the love and kindness Mike shared with everyone he met. Mike was known for his continual generosity and kindness, always ready to help those in need. His impact was felt by so many, and his spirit of giving lives on in the memories of those he touched. Now, as Chris and the kids face this difficult time, they need our support more than ever. The funds raised will help them manage immediate expenses and provide some stability as they navigate the days ahead. Any help you can give would be a true blessing. Mike was well loved and never met a stranger—let's honor his memory by extending the same kindness to his family now. Your support, no matter the amount, will make a meaningful difference as they heal and move forward.
