So sorry for your loss. Prayers for you to find peace through such trying times. Didn’t he also have a younger brother named Kevin? I didn’t see his name in the obit. Although I could be wrong
Kevin who?
I will always remember going over to his house when I was little. My sisters and I got excited for Christmas time because he always asked us to do all of his Christmas wrapping for him. We all loved doing it because that’s one of the few times we got to hang out with Uncle Mike, plus when we left our sides hurt so bad from laughing with him because he was funny and had an amazing personality and a genuine heart.
From the CARNEY’S: Kevin, Deb, Misty, Ryan, and Meagan and from our kids (Misty):Deleigha(19) and Charles(13). (Meagan):Trinity(14) Donovan jr(9) and Declan(5);Declan and Mike had the exact same cleft lip on the exact same side!!!) And even though they weren’t able to meet this amazing man and he wasn’t able to meet these amazing kids. Just know Uncle Mike you were greatly loved with all our hearts and we will all miss you more then any words can express!!! Love you uncle Mike!!!
My grandma told me you girls were paid to wrap. And just an FYI, your kid could have met MY grandpa had you all taken the initiative. Don’t cry for sympathy.
