I was thinking of Mike today and how said his death was. I worked with Mike many years ago when he was the LP manager at Sears in Dearborn and I was the Operations Manager. He was a great guy and is missed by many.

Mike
Everyday I wake up and the first thing I put on is a bracelet that bears your name. I carry you with me as a constant reminder of your sacrifice and that your family carries on without you. God bless your family as they carry on and thank you for watching over us.

My name is Reggie Barnes and I am a Retired Detroit Police Officer and I was also one of the members of the DETROIT POLICE HONOR GUARD. I participated in his Home Going Celebration in Honoring his Sacrifice.

I remember that day as if it was yesterday, because that is the day I Retired from the Detroit Police Department and stayed to do the detail. I was one of the Honor Guard Police Officers at the end of the Blue folding the US Flag.

I send my prayers and heartfelt condolences to the Family and I wish them much Love.

Warmest regards,

I remembered that day so well. I was the sergeant on the desk the day Michael called on the radio for help. I remember this event so well. Mike was an good officer. Above all he was an outstanding person. No one can imagine the terror in our hearts knowing we lost one of our own and how it happened. The guy took Mikes scout care to drive himself to the hospital, leaving Mike behind. I know vey few can appreciate my officers and the work they performed that night and the assistance we received. I never had a chance to thank all and the officers that came to work early to assist. Thank you all. Till this date I think of that those events of 2002.

My faithful servant.
You were called upon to serve others.
You were asked to see, what no man should ever have to see.
To go through, what no man should ever have to go through.
But you did so with pride, honor, and integrity.

My faithful servant.
You were called upon to defend those, who could not defend themselves.
To provide justice to those, who did not respect it.
To lay down your life, if the time called for it.
Again, you did not question what was asked of you.
You did it with love, compassion, and loyalty.

My faithful servant.
In times of adversity, you prayed for strength.
In times of triumph, you praised your Lord.
You served your Country, State, and city proud.
Your service will forever be remembered by the many lives you’ve touched.

My faithful servant.
When your service on this earth is finally complete.
I will welcome you home with open arms.
I will embrace you and proclaim,
“Well done thou good and faithful servant.”

Rest in peace my brother...you will never be forgotten.

I was only 5 years old when i witnessed this happened, i came up stairs when i heard all the commotion. I did not listen as i was told to stay downstairs and i followed them out the backdoor and into the backyard, where i seen everything. In such shock i ran inside and didn't say a word, i didn't know what to do. You are a hero to me and this country. I respect you and anybody in a uniform with all I got. Rest in peace Michael, God Bless your family.

Mike, It's hard to believe it's been 11 years since I've heard you laugh or seen your smile. You always brightened a room when you came in. We all miss you and think about you always. Dad is with you now and I know you both are watching over us. Love and miss you.

11 years this afternoon we said goodbye......
11 years this evening we shared our last meal.......
11 years tonight we lost you.............

11 years have passed but you are not forgotten. Our children are growing up quicker than I'd like. They are strong, kind, loving, smart, intensely loyal, and sweet. They are the joys of my life.

Thank you for watching over them when I cannot.
We love and miss you!

46 years ago today you entered this world, but at 35 you left us too soon. The memories that have been made through those years are ones that we all will remember, cherish and keep us going day after day. You were a great friend and everyone misses you. Happy Birthday Mike, we love you.

Thank you family and brothers of officer Scanlon. I had the pleasure of meeting Officer Scanlon one day as I stopped by the eighth, he's the first person I ever met and became a friend to immediately. He even drove my classic car that day. I was so hurt when the city of Detroit lost officer Scanlon. He was truly one of our jewels.
