To our Dear friend Michael and family, Michael may you find joy in his resting place. Michael tried so hard to be a good husband and father ...his life was his children! After over coming so much adversity in the past 2 years medical surgery, then the bad economy, he just kept working day and night for the goal of saving his home and family. In his resume he wrote:Job entails armed Federal prisoner extradition all over the US. I want to leave this job do to the hardship all the traveling is causing my marriage. I am gone at least 20 days out of the month. Vero is a very difficult town to find work in but that did not stop Michael he just kept working and trying to move forward with that one special goal to have his children and family. He was a very proud person he so much wanted to see his father but did not want him to know he could not afford to go visit. We are so happy he did finally visit his father. He was a good and loyal friend and a fun friend always willing to help in any way he could. He knew so much about horticulture; Aquatic Garden & Landscape Design "We can make your garden and landscape dreams become a reality" seemed like the perfect business for him to start. The last time we saw him he seemed to have finally found happiness we helped him wrap Christmas presents from Santa for his children with whom he had his first home visitation with. He then came back with more gifts for the children to wrap for his wife and mother in law Christmas eve. It just seemed like he was finally on his road to happiness again! He had his children the joys of his life for Christmas and he seemed so happy!!! We are bewildered and shocked at the loss of our Dear friend Michael. Michael we think about you day and night and miss you so much! We hope you find peace in your resting place and can now be with your father. Love, Mark and Jill

Sorry about the pictures of the kids being sideways! Also, those aquatic enhancements were created by Mike and the picture to the far right is Mike power washing his own house when we first started the business. Again, my condolences to the entire family, Ellen 1-772-202-7088

To Michael's Loved Ones, Michael worked for me and was a hard working, reliable and honest person who was always willing to go that extra mile. A man who was looking forward to more time with his children, who was turning his life around and who was so optimistic about his future will be sadly missed by many. I was so very fortunate to meet his son and daughter, Ethan and Kiera, who loved their Father and was adored by him. Michael's two main topics of conversation were his beloved children and his excitement that the pressure washing business was taking off! Safe journey Michael! With respect, Ellen Hartwell ellenhartwell@mac.com
