Mike was very kind, & generous…he could always make us laugh. We had a lot of fun hanginng out, eating, cooking & playing games w/ family & friends! Sorry to hear of your loss.
I have very fond memories of Mike. He had a great sense of humor and was always kind to me. I remember boating with him and enjoying dinners and many laughs. He will be missed. I pray God’s comfort, strength and grace for Mike’s family and friends.
Mike and I were childhood friends back on 4th ave in Marion. We grew up across the street from each other. We shared many a fun time riding our horses together and hanging out at the farm. I hadn’t seen him in years but remember him fondly and cherish all the fun times we had with our friends and horses. My deepest sympathy to his family and current close friends. Jean Schorg Schnell
I didnt know Mike but wanted to light a candle for him anyway…,he looks like a fun guy.

With deepest sympathy to the Duckett family. Childhood friends from 4th ave. in Marion. May God bring you comfort and peace.
