Dear Aunt Marie, Uncle Frank and all our cousins. We are so saddened to hear of Mike's passing. I alway will remember the zest Micheal had for life. He loved to have fun and shared his joy with others. I also remember how he loved his family. It showed in everything he did. Although we did not get to be with him often he holds a special place in all our hearts. My dear mother also loved Mike very much. I know they are sharing wonderful times now in heaven. Mike truly will be missed by all. Please know that you are in our thoughts and prayers.

Dear Aunt Marie and Uncle Frank and family.

We were all so sad to hear the news about Michael. I remember him as such a happy and wonderful person. I remember all the times we went to Chicago with our mom and the time we spent at your house. Michael would go with us when mom would take us downtown and we all spent so many good times together. It was always enjoyable if any of you came to Gallup or if we were with you all there. You all are in may heart and in my prayers. We all think of you often and wish there were not so many miles between us. I know Michael is in a better place now and was greeted by many who love him, it is us who will miss him now. With Love, Jovanna Matajcich-Kennedy, Steve, Kendra Kennedy, and Krista Kennedy-Gordon and Brent Gordon

Dear Aunt Marie and Uncle Frank and all my wonderful cousins.

I was so saddened to hear about Mike. Our hearts and prayers are with you and family. I always remember Mike for his laughter and wonderful kind sentiments. You just wanted to cuddle up with him.

My mother (Marie Matajcich) and aunt (Ellen Fulton) loved their family in Chicago so much. I want my sisters and I to plan a trip to visit with you all. It is times like this that make you stop to realize that life is very precious and we need to see family when we can. You are all so special to me and made my trips to Chicago something to remember.

My thoughts and prayers are with you all.

May God Bless and Keep you Safe.

To Donna and the Kaminsky family our sympathies to you. We have known Mike for so many years, its hard to believe he's gone. We spent many happy times in Michigan cutting down our Christmas trees with him and friends. We will always cherish those memories with Mike. He was a gentle giant to us, we used to call him Big Mike cause we worked with so many Mikes'. He was one of those friends who would do anything for you. He always kept in contact, we will miss him so much.
Rest in Peace Big Mike, we love you.
