Micah was a fifth grade student at Mount Vernon Middle School, Micah was a warm and caring person to whom other students were drawn. She loved going to school and being with her classmates. Students and staff members will miss her presence a great deal. Micah loved her precious time spent cuddling with her dad and her beads as she always had to have them close to look at and hear. The motto at the middle school is 'You matter', and Micah truly mattered to her family, friends, classmates, and educators. She will be remembered fondly.

Feeling Blessed that we got the time to work and get to know Micah. She will be greatly missed.

Micah stole the heart of all that knew her. Her smile and giggle always brightened the day. Many hours were spent riding the bike and walking in her gait trainer in the hallways of the elementary school. She loved watching the bubbles as kids would blow them for her or sitting in the leaves during recess. When she was out of her chair her favorite thing was to crawl over to sit on someones lap, student or adult! She LOVED taking her nap in the pea pod. We loved having her at Washington Elementary!! She will be missed by so many.
We are so sorry for your loss! love to all of you! The Meades and Sievers Families
May she rest in ☮️ with her mother!
Our hearts break for each one of you that Micah left behind. No loss is easy but the loss of a child is always difficult. Her memory will always keep her close in your heart. Take comfort in knowing she is running free and enjoying her new life in eternity. One day you will be together again. Thoughts and prayers! Sending love, Kelly Autry and all your family in North Carolina.
I’m so sorry for your lose. Please accept our heartfelt sympathy. We love you all very much and will keep you in our thoughts. Schumacher and Tallman family.
I was honored to work with Micah. She had a very big smile that would light up the room. I will miss her giggle and her yelling at me for stopping the car at stop signs and lights. She was such a joy to work with. I will miss her terribly.
Oh sweet Micah, you were not only a student but a great teacher. You taught your teachers,fellow students and friends about love and compassion. Without speaking a word, you made the world a better place. We will miss you.
Our deepest condolences to the entire family. Or thoughts and prayers are with you in your time of sorrow. Uncle Brian is probably already “pestering” her with his love . RIP little girl.

My name is Julie Dye, I am an associate at Wash. Elem. I had the pleasure of working with Micah in the 2nd grade. It was the year of her heart surgery too. She was so strong. The kids loved her and always wanted her included and would always ask if they could read to her. She was a blessing to all of us at Wash. Elem. Now she can run free and play all day. What a wonderful soul and I am glad to have known this precious girl. I pray for her family, especially her Grandma Jan, who adored her and loved her so .
Above all, my condolences to the family and friends of Micah. In early 2017 I helped the 4th grade class of Jessica Thede write a book. The students therein extended a loving warmth to Micah and helped create a page with and for her. I have attached it to share. She and her classmates indeed are precious people.
Hugs and prayers to family and friends of this special child!
You have my deepest sympathy in your loss of Micah. She was caring, loving child of God and will be missed
My thoughts prayers and love to my cousin Brian Oxley and family. I’m so sorry to hear about this! Aunt Julie and the entire Oxley family are never far from my mind. How I wish I could could stop anymore loss or suffering for our families I can not! May this beautiful little angel Micah find peace and love with God and Heaven! I’m so sorry again please if I can do anything let me know .
I have had the opportunity to work with Micah as a guest teacher in her classroom. My favorite time was when I read a book to her one-on-one and something struck her as being especially funny. I don’t know if it was my voice or the rhythm of the words, but her reaction was so special. I have thought about it many times since. It was pure joy! I am glad to have that special memory of Micah.
Your family is in my thoughts.

My name is Patrice Jones and I work for Grant Wood AEA. I have known Micah since she was in Pre School at LECCEC in Lisbon and then for her elementary years at Mt. Vernon Elementary. Micah was a beautiful and joyful little girl. I remembered she loved to snuggle in her pea pod in Mrs. Irvin’s room. Her giggles were infectious. You will be truly missed and forever loved. You were an angel on earth as you will be in heaven. You are loved, Micah.
Condolences to Micah’s family. I hope you can find comfort in Jesus’ promise at John 5:28, 29 – “Do not be amazed at this…all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice and come out, those who did good things to a resurrection of life.” After this promised resurrection, we can look forward to being reunited with our loved ones in peaceful and happy conditions on earth (Psalms 37:11, 29).
I miss you so much Micah It is 2019 now and I still can’t process how this happened! Me and Gunnar talk about you all the time! I miss you so much! I hope your heaven is purple and pink just for you! P.S I know you can walk on your own now! I love you still and Always will,Avery
