View all 86 ReflectionsI knew Michael from college known as “Bev”.
He was an individual that used humor to bring unity especially to our soccer team w/ played together.He named
Me “Lazybones” due to my hustle on the field which stuck going forward.
Saddened to hear of tragedy knowing he was a very giving person.
My thoughts & prayers are to his family. No doubt he s an Angel above looking down & watching over others like he did hear in this life.
Will miss ya “Bev” never forget the journey we shared w/ attending NCJC & was fortunate to cross paths in this life hope to see ya in the next !
