The beginning of June has become a hard time for us. It was 4 years ago on this day when we lost Mike. we miss him always, but some days are harder than others. I wonder what he would be doing today? I wonder what would his life be like? What trip would he be taking this summer? I think about his infectious laugh and how he was always ribbing his dad. I am thankful for all the wonderful memories of a good grandson who made us smile every time we saw him. Thinking of the good times, Mike, and holding on to the hope I will see you again.

3 years without you... Life gets harder as time goes on not seeing you're wonderful smile and face and positive attitude. You were such a light to our family the greatest gift and nephew I could of ever asked for. Although our time has been cut short you will always be in my heart soul and mind. I will continue to do kind acts in you're name and be the best person I can be and take care of our family. I miss you so much what I would do just to give you the biggest hug I can and never let you go laugh with you one more time. Miss us playing the game together going to all football basketball games together laughing joking sending snaps I will forever cherish those times and moments. I thank you for being apart of my life and giving me so much joy and happiness the times we spend together I will forever love you and miss you nephew. It´s never goodbye its see ya later.

Michael was the light of my life. He lived everyday full of life, & rarely disappointed. He had the most amazing smile, & people were naturally drawn to him. He always seen the good in people. He was kind, generous, & loyal. It was impossible to hear his laugh and not start laughing yourself. Everything he did in this world was for the right reasons. He put his huge heart into everything he did. He was the best part of me. I don't think I'll ever be able to make sense of this, but I do know that one day soon when I take my last breath we'll be reunited again finally. I'll have alot more stories to tell. He was my son, best friend, brother, confidant, and my equal. I won't ever be the same without you here. I loved you more than any words I could write on this page. You deserved so much better than this. No one could understand the relationship between us. Just you me & God. I will make sure your legacy lives on son, until the day we meet once again.

Michael, what can I say? We watched you grow from a 2 year old mischievous little boy to a young man who had the world at his fingertips. We enjoyed every minute of watching you become a man. You touched so many lives Mike! Your laughter, joy and selflessness did not go unnoticed. We are honored and blessed to have known you, and to have loved you like our own. We will miss you terribly . Rest in paradise Mike. ❤❤

Michael was loved by so many, his smile and laughter were so bright it brightened any room he was in, being in his company was a blessing and wonderful experience, we have ever come across; his presence was enjoyed by so many around him, and I am sure I speak for so many that would agree with my sentiment. His love for food, football, and basketball are only a few things We were blessed to see him enjoy. My family and I were honored to watch the Eagles win the Super Bowl with him and boy was he vocal, but in an enjoyable way, he was excited and happy to experience a win for the EAGLES. We had the experience to see him watch so many movies he loved watching; he loved watching American Pickers, World Strongest man on the History channel and he spoke so highly of Brian Shaw, who was his favorite and who he could relate himself to him, I think he was his inspiration when he worked out. He loved History and the History channel he really enjoyed watching and the food network channel; he loved helping me cook; he was so funny and those memories of him always bring a smile to my face. Especially when hed call me Bink, which he would ask if I minded; and I didnt. It was so cute!
We are so very grateful for the time we had with him in our lives. I am very excited and proud to see he received so many college offers, that he worked so hard to achieve. His parents raised a boy that turned into a beautiful, kind, and wonderful man that never ask for much he was grateful for his life, and those people in it, from what I saw in my experience of being in his company.
Mike, the memories I had with you will live on forever and I will never forget you; you will be forever in our hearts. We will forever miss you.
With all our love and prayers, Bianca and Edward McCue (Becca's mom and dad)

Michael,
We always hear the Lord giveth and the Lord taketh away, but the next line people dont always say. Blessed be the name of the Lord. He knew the day, Mike, he knew the time, he knew the hour. It was his game plan. He knows your story is not over. For everyone that you touched, for everyone who remembers you at some point in the future, for every good deed still done in your name, for every change another person makes in their life because of you, that is the continuing story. What you didnt know was the amount of lives you touched along the way. I will be thinking of you until I see your smiling face again. You are on the big campus now, and its a big, beautiful campus up there. Youve graduated with earthly honors. You couldnt have done a better job.
