I am so sorry for your loss. Mike was such a genuine, kind person. Way back when I first started doing DV training for police departments, Mike was a friendly face and always made me feel welcome and appreciated. We had some cases together way back in the day and I am so grateful to have had the opportunity to know him even a little. Praying for peace and comfort for you, Trish, and the rest of the family.

Sorry to hear about the loss of Mike. He was a great friend. Larry Kurtsel
I'm deeply sorry to hear about Mike’s passing. He was not just a colleague at the Brownstown police department but also a fellow Warthogs member, even though my time with the club was relatively brief, despite this his presence was always felt in both realms. What stood out most about him was his unwavering honesty and directness—you always knew where you stood with him, no sugar-coating, just straight talk. His playful spirit and love for fun infused a sense of liveliness into our workplace and club activities, creating moments and memories that we will always remember. My condolences on the passing of Geppetto. May he rest in peace, and may his memory bring comfort to those who knew and loved him. Kevin Watson
