Michael loved life and lived it to the fullest. He did more in his short 27 years than most do in a full lifetime. He will be missed terribly by all those whose lives he touched.
From: Sara Sandburg (July 2005)
Michael was a special person. I cannot ever remember him not smiling. Sometimes a smirk, but a smile none the less. He always made me feel good about myself whenever I was around him. He would put his arm around you, smile and joke of how his Cardinals were ahead of my Dodgers in the overall standings or give me a hard time about my Cyclones. But always in a way that was jovial. I am sure he is smiling now - since his Cardinals are doing so well.
The way he use to work his mom. He had her wrapped around his finger. But why not - what a great son. I was able to witness a special bond between the two of them.
