Hey Michael, I’m sad, deeply sadden about your passing but I’m very happy that I’ve met you. When you came to the DGTV community, you showed me that kindness does indeed exist through the darkness time. You always uplift people’s spirit when you come around and share some jokes that will never be forgotten among friends and families. Thank you for helping me believing that no matter how rough things may be, you gotta keep smiling and pushing is still something that’s possible to do no matter how many times life gets you down.
I’m gonna miss you so much, man. Thank you for being part of our community now and always. Our Deaf & Hard of Hearing Gamers (DHHG) team will always remember what a epic person you are and how you share your positivity with us.
I’ll see you around, brother. Keep protecting us from the shadow, Mr DareDevil
Thank you to Mike’s family for giving us a family member we needed.
Michael was a fantastic friend and he will be sorely missed. Hearing his voice in The Angels/The Nerd Nest game nights was the highlight of my weeks. I wish I had spent more time talking with him this past year, but I am so happy he found a new community on Twitch.
Love you, Michael <3
I didn’t met him in person. I met him through playing video games online. He was always friendly and helpful, and made you feel welcome and glad to be around him. That was really special. I am sad only found him a couple of months ago. Sincere condolence to his family and friends.
