Michael Anthony Jenkins, age 26, passed away on Thursday, February 23, 2012, in Mount Vernon.
Michael was born to Charles Follis and Jodie Jenkins on August 7, 1985, in Anacortes, Washington.
He loved to work on cars and bicycles, making sure they were working perfectly, and were always clean. He had a huge sense of humor, nothing bothered him and everything was funny. He was a respectful, loving person who would have given his shirt off his back to family and friends. He meant no harm to anyone.
Michael is survived by his son, Adrian; his mother, Jodie Jenkins and father, Charles Follis; his sister, Christinah Jenkins; brother, Martin Sanchez; grandparents, Marvin Jenkins and Arlene Follis; aunt, Jennifer Isaacson; cousins, Brittany and Jared Tenbrink; nieces, Isabel and Gracie Isaacson, Mikayla Jenkins, Mireya Cienfuegos and Audrey and Domanick Sanchez and all his friends that he called family.
Michael was preceded in death by his grandparents, Pamela Jenkins and Kenneth Follis.
Do not stand at my grave and weep,
I am not there. I do not sleep.
I am in a thousand winds that blow,
I am the softly falling snow.
I am the gentle showers of rain,
I am the fields of ripening grain.
I am in the morning hush,
I am the graceful rush
Of birds in circling flight.
I am the star shine of the night.
I am in the flowers that bloom,
I am in a quiet room,
I am the birds that sing,
I am in each lovely thing.
Do not stand at my grave and cry;
I am not there. I did not die.
No services will be held, cremation arrangements are under the care of Lemley Chapel.
I love you so much lil brother.
I love you and miss you so much Michael my lil brother..My life will not be the same without you.

Dear Christinah and Jodie,
I was sorry to learn of Michael’s death. I know you did the best job you could as mother and sister to him. I’ll be thinking of you in the days ahead.
I retired from the Skagit County Health Department over 10 years ago. It seems like only yesterday that I came to know you and Mikayla.
Take care of yourselves.
Dear Michael, We never met before but Iam your mothers (Jodie) cousin. The last time I saw your mother was at her mothers funeral (Greatgrandma Tiny). I was very sadden to read about your death in the paper. I hope you have some peace now. Takecare
Dear Micheal, I sure do miss the times when you all will little and I could try and protect you from all the bad I wish I could have been there for you that day you were shot and protect you from them But I have a feeling you are in a much better place now.Ill see you when I get there.Love your Auntie
