Our hearts are so sad yet thankful our newly found friend is no longer in discomfort; we will miss him so much; he and his lovely wife Daisy made us feel so special; we have lovely memories to cherish the rest of our life.
All our love, thoughts and prayers are with his family and may the journey they all will be taking will somehow be easier knowing we are all there sharing their pain and that our friend Mike is in our loving Lords arms.
This man helped me more than anyone else will ever know. Taught me so much about raising my son on nothing but love. Your love and advice will never be forgotten. Take my love to Kenny. Breathe free and sing your heart out
Mike you were a awesome person easy talk to about anything. I know how much being a grandpa meant to you. Let me tell you were a great grandpa. I will forever miss you as the grandkids will too.I love you and thanks for always being part of our family and allowing us to be a part of your family. Playing cards, games, sitting by fire or celebrating kiddos birthday. You were there. Love you Mike.
Mike, you are so dearly missed by all. I will watch out for the kids like you asked. If I could only have one more day with you. I love you more than words could ever say. I know you’re up there with the family and are having a blast. Keep an eye out for the special hunting and fishing grounds.
Love you lots!!!
You were the best father in law I could ever ask for. You were a wonderful grandpa. You mean so much to us and will be forever missed. We love you more than words can ever express. We will forever cherish all the memories we have shared with you. You were a great man to many around you. Fish,hunt forever on. We will all be together again. I love you dad
Rest in Peace Mike. You will be missed by all who knew you. Daisy and family, you are in my thoughts and prayers. There just are not words to express how much I care. Prayers and love.
Even though we are fairly new friends to Mike, I can tell you he will be terribly missed. He so impressed us as a genuine, kind-hearted and all-around ‘good’ guy. Till we meet again Mike….RIP. ❤️
Ps: and a great karaoke singer!
Mike, much like his dad, will always be remembered with many stories attached. If you knew him, you have a story. I was blessed with many and every one brings me, not just a smile, but a heartfelt laughter. He was my favorite hunting partner, we never did get any game, just lots of laughter. Some of my best times were spent with the Fox family. I will always cherish the love and good times with them all. RIP Mike, love you much. Larki
I love you Mike Fox, you will be forever in my heart. You are my heart, my soul, and my world.
