Michael leaves behind his wife of 27 years Tanya, his son Roman and daughter Charis; his mother Carol, brother Barry and wife Laura Denise, brother Craig, mother and father in law Bob and Sherri Byrd, numerous aunts, uncles, nephews, nieces and cousins; and bonus babies Joshuah, Ariella, Sylvia and Zariyah. He joins his grandparents, father, sister Kimberly, brother in law Todd and two friends Lonnie and Kim in heaven as well as a host of other relatives.

Although our hearts are broken and his homegoing too soon, our trust and faith in Jesus will continue to carry us in the days ahead. Our God is a great God and today we rejoice in knowing Michael is with Him.
