I did not know you personally, but I've only since heard of your passing. I used to go to school with you, and it is so sad to hear of this. I am unable to send anything but a message. I do hope that you Rest In Peace. Let's hope that wherever you are, you are with the green man, Pete Steele. Again, Rest In Peace, Michael.

I just heard about Michael yesterday. He used to spend time in the library during lunches, just listening to music and being quiet. I'm glad that he was comfortable here. I will be praying for his peace and yours. God bless you all at this difficult time in your lives.

I am just seeing this, and I'm so sad to hear about Michael. I was his guidance counselor for four years in high school. Michael and I had a good relationship and we had philosophical talks about life, music, etc. He was so talented and intelligent - a gentle soul. I hope you find peace Michael. I will miss you.

I love you Michael. You were the best friend I ever wanted, the best friend I had, and you'll forever be my best friend even in death. You were beyond perfect and I'm so sorry life took you away so fast. We were so close we could have practically been dating, which ironically enough we did before.
