We were so saddened to hear of your passing! You were such a character in Dick’s CR life! I am sorry for all the lost time between you too. Looks like you were still that same guy right up to the end! Please Jump family let us know when you plan a service, would like to try to make it!
You will be missed. Though only seeing you a few times during your hospital stays, you were truly a patient I looked forward to seeing and getting a chance to talk to. Rest In Peace Mike.

Kim, Justin, Steve and Kathy, it’s been so long since we have seen Mike and Kim. How time flies as we come into our Senior years. We have some special memories from the old “Home port” to cherish of your group. Take care Kim and Mike , may you rest in peace.
Marvel and family,
So sorry to hear of Michael’s passing. I know he had health issues, but that does not make it any easier to lose a loved one. His family was a rock over the years and I am sure he appreciated it greatly all the love and care he received. He is in my prayers and thoughts as well as the whole family. Death, though there is sadness is really a celebration of life that is brought into focus. May God help you heal your broken hearts. I am sure when you think of the good times you as a family enjoyed, it will bring a smile to your faces. Again my deepest sympathy for your loss.

Dear Marvel,
So sorry to hear of Mike’s passing. It’s never easy losing a family member and especially not a child. As a parent we all hope to go before any of our children. Please express my sympathy to his wife Kim and my deep condolences go out to you and the rest of the family.
Sincerely,
Teri Monroe and family.
To the Entire Jump Family,
Sending you my prayers and love.
I believe I have known Mike almost my entire life, im truly sorry for your loss.
