Although I knew Michal many years ago, when I was a teenager attending New Chapel Hill, he has always held a very dear place in my heart. I've never met another man, before or since, that I held in such high regard. His character, faith, and zealous energy for serving the Lord was inspiring and contagious. When Michael said the sinners prayer with me all those years ago, he changed my life, and I know he chaged the lives of hundreds of others. I can't help but think that the Lord just couldn't stand it any longer...He wanted Michael right there with him...in constant fellowship. To Kim and all of the family: I am so sorry for your loss, but how proud you must feel of the man you called husband, daddy, brother, and son.

I have wonderful memories of Michael when we were in the youth group at Cedar Crest Baptist Church. Even as a teenager, his heart was so on fire for Christ that he was always witnessing and always sharing his love for Jesus. Not only did he speak of his love for Christ, his life exemplified what God can do within each of us. He was a great friend and example of the passion we should all have for Jesus Christ. His larger than life personality, energy, and enthusiasm set him apart! I know Michael is shakin' Heaven up with his contagious excitement! He will be greatly missed.

Know that I will always be greatful for the day Michael asked me if my boys, Clay & Jason, can play on the New Chapel Hill basketball team. I never wanted to move to WM but I see the hand of God all over it now and Michael was God's main instument in making a big difference in the lives of my two sons. I will always be eternally greatful for his life.

Michael was such a wonderful Christian, I have such great memories from camp and weekly youth get-togethers where Michael led by example, in word and deed. He was wise beyond his years, and he will be missed. I am thankful that I can be confident of seeing him again when God takes me home. God, thank you for your servant Michael that you shared with us! In His Love,

Betty, you were my best friend when we were both in West Monroe. I love your family and felt like one of "the family" for so many years. I have laughed so hard at Michael's antics, and I've seen Jesus in him so many times. I love you and Wayne, and I will be praying for you daily. Mark, you are all grown up from my days in West Monroe, but I still love you like you were my little brother! I hope Heaven is ready for Michael, 'cause he is gonna rock that place!!!! I am blessed to have known you, Buddy.... Deb Brown
