Michael loved life and lived it to the fullest. He did more in his short 27 years than most do in a full lifetime. He will be missed terribly by all those whose lives he touched.
From: Michelle (Anderson) McKeag (2006)
I'm Michelle (Anderson) McKeag, and I went to school with Mike from kindergarten through our senior year at Central Lee. I am writing this on the the anniversary of his tragic death. I have been thinking of him all day, as I'm sure so many people have...
As everyone else, my memories of Mike are nothing but happy, special moments. He was the most charismatic, caring person that I've ever known. Growing up is awkward and difficult at times, but, Mike did it with grace and determination every step of the way. Thank you Tom and Betty for not only instilling great values in Mike, but giving him the wisdom and kindness to help encourage other people to achieve their goals and be better people. I just wanted you to know that Mike continues to live on in our hearts and minds and that I think of him almost every day and he continues to inspire me and many others to be all we can be!
Mike continues to be such a powerful presence in my life and many others and his memory will live on forever!
With Love,
Michelle (Anderson) McKeag
