Sue and family, I'm so sorry for your loss. Mike was always a big guy with a big heart. Even as kids in elementary school I knew he wasn't going to grow up and get a 9 to 5 job. I did know he was going to live life on his own terms, and he did just that. Sounds like a good life too. I'm sorry it ended way too soon, but it looks like it was a life well lived, and few regrets.
