Memories Timeline

Guestbook

  1. Some of my fondest memories of my childhood were times spent camping, waterskiing, tubing, fishing, and running all around with cousin Mike! The annual family gathering at Holiday Inn Bemidji. 4th of July fireworks at the Bemidji Waterfront. Being amateur filmmakers during Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays. I was lucky to have a cousin like Mike. Peace be with Mike and all of his family.

  2. It has been many years since I have seen Mike, but there was I time when I considered him a good friend. He had his struggles. Who of us doesn’t? Life is full of challenges…

    I remember Mike as being helpful.
    With an upbeat attitude, he would help Kristi and I clean a townhouse or work on some other project, like the time he built a fence for me. Mike made work fun.

    What I remember most about Mike is that he was so smart and was an excellent conversationalist. We had some great discussions! He wasn’t an “on the surface” kind of guy; Mike could talk about a wide range of topics in depth. In ways he was brilliant. I miss talking with him.

    My most sincere condolences to Mike’s family and friends.

  3. Michael WIld…..Hey Mr. 🙂 My dear Friend…..I found out about your “passing” way after the fact and I m so sorry for that and I am still in dis-belief and very sad that your gone because I consider you and always will remember you as a good friend from the day we met at the 220 house back in the day of 2013. I think of you often and I miss you dearly and wish we could have had one more “philosophical, intelligent, fun conversation and laughed and had a beer and reminisced about people, places and things! <3You'll be remembered always! Rest in peace and until we meet again, my dear friend. MMM- Marcella (peace, love and happiness)

  4. Michael I can’t believe you are gone. Gone off to a better life. You were so close to me and I was so close to you for so many years. I just now today found out that you passed away and I can’t believe it 2 years. That’s how far I have a loop I was. I just stayed home the last 3 years and tried to take care of myself. You will be deeply missed Mike. You have been missed I’ve wondered where you were. When I found out it just breaks my heart. I love you Mike. Forever and ever. Wish you the best in your peace I shall see you again.
