Linda & Family,
We were shocked and saddened to hear of Mike's passing. Now that we no longer live in Newton, I miss out on a lot. Luckily my dad remember to tell me of the 'important things'.
You have our sincere sympathy Linda. You both were always so happy together <3 You will be in my prayers that you find peace in your loss. He was one in a million.

Linda, We are SO VERY SORRY and just read, we had no idea. Been sick with sore throat sinus infection, went to my chest, Drs. told me I shouldn't be visiting anyone. Ron went on a couple of times, he didn't see anything, he must have missed it. I feel so awful, bless your heart, I didn't want to let you down. We'll talk soon, I love you dear friend. Mike was always so nice/good/funny with me. Tell the kids, that I am so sorry! Love to all, Ron and Pam

It matters not our earthly stuff, God always provides enough.
Treat each other with respect, love & laugh & smile;
knowing the life you have on earth lasts such a little while.
See you in eternity

My condolences to Mike's family. I grew up walking to Junior high school with Mike in Grinnell, he was always happy and full of life. I had the good fortune to sit with Mike at the Grinnell High School's 45th reunion in 2012 and we had fun reminiscing about the good old days growing up. Rest in peace Mike and we will meet again at our eternal reunion.

We were so sorry to hear of Mike's passing. I have fond memories of playing ball with Mike's sister Ty and little Mike running around at his Grandma's house or at my Grandma's house. The houses were only one house away from each other in the little town of Lynnville, IA. Riding Motorcyles out in Sturgis back in the good old days (70's).
So many memories for your family to remember.
May the Lord God bless and keep you all......
