Thank you to Johnny & Kathy Lillard for keeping me up-to-date on Michael's health. I was very sad to hear of his passing and send my condolences to the family. He had an artistic spirit and expressed his creativity in his work. Through all the years that I knew Michael he was kind, quiet, and had a mischievous sense of humor that will be missed.

The passing of Michael, my youngest brother is a terrible loss for our family. Michael was opinionated, stubborn, loving, devout and above all prepared to meet his Lord Jesus Christ. I am confident that God is now in Heaven and has been released from his bodily disabilities.
