You were such a beautiful soul. I loved our talks. We would laugh. The best thing that we shared was our love for God. You accepted me as I was. And, I did the same. I just hate that we didn’t talk before you departed this earth. When I needed advice, you were there for me. My sister and I are both deeply saddened by this tragedy. You were special and a child of God. I will miss you, Mikey.
It’s amazing how God works in a heart. It wasn’t long ago that I had been wondering about Michael. He had crossed my mind numerous times. I am a close friend of his parents and we mostly stay in touch through technology, but the love is there. So I just prayed for Michael. I prayed for him like so many other family members and friends even though I had no idea why he came front and center to my mind. Loving this precious family has been a blessing!
You were my family and my friend. I loved our Sunday’s together doing hair, gossiping, and of course watching the many inspirational meaningful philosophers you would follow on Facebook. You had the biggest heart and judged no one! Your sweet smile was so bright and filled the room with sunshine. I will always love you and hear that giggle in my head. Rest In Peace in paradise with your God.
Michael was such a special person. I only knew him a short time, but he was very dear to me. He had a great smile and sense of humor. My deepest sympathy goes out to his family. He was a wonderful person and will be missed.
I just read this and am saddened. I’ll always remember Vanessa’s and Mike’s adventures throughout high school… they were always together. I knew my daughter would have something funny to tell me, and I never worried that they would be in any trouble when they were together. I loved Mike like he was my own son. I will always think of them as being together in Heaven now, bringing much joy to others there. My heart is broken.
I am so saddened by Mike’s passing. He was my first BF, the first guy I lived with… Although it did not work out between us, he was still an awesome guy. I am going to miss that smile and that infectious laugh of his. He was no ordinary hair stylist; he was an artist. He should have been in L.A. or N.Y. Just about everyone who met “Mikey” really liked him. He could relate to the business man in a $10,000 Armani or the homeless guy on the street. He never pre-judged people.
He was really very intelligent and could “read” people. He would feel energy coming from people and being a little helper and very intuitive, he got pulled into others’ drama. I think this brought him down. Michael liked to have a good time… We all do. Sometimes substances make the painful emotions we are feeling go away for a little while. I say this because I have bi-polar disorder and struggle with alcohol. Mikey also believed deeply in Jesus and God. Some of our best conversations were about God. I am sure Mikey is with Jesus now. (I just hope when it is my time that he puts in a good word for me.) I always knew that if I was in an emergency situation and if I could get a hold of him, he would just about drop anything to get to me. Rest in Peace, my friend, rest in peace. My prayers are for the family, who has lost a son and sibling.
Michael, YOU will be missed. I so wish you would have talked with me, Margo, Sarah, David, anyone, before you left us. When I think of you, I just smile. You had such a gentle spirit. Thank you for being there for Margo’s wedding, and making her look like a princess on her day. I love you Michael Haley, I will see you again someday. Your friend, KIM
Mikey, Just 5 months after you left, my brother, and friend, left this earth, in a similar manner a you my friend. David and you are no longer in emotional pain. To both of you, SLEEP WELL, until the day you hear the arcangels voice, saying, “Awaken, and COME OUT!”
In my thoughts, KIM
