Mike’s desire was to create a community where no one was in need. When Mike saw someone was without, he would call, collect donations, and find a way for that person to get their need(s) met.
Mike believed in the power of community and wanted to take care of all around him.
Mike also had a thirst for knowledge. Mike would listen to books and read about how to understand the Lord better. Mike desired to know as much as he could so that he could help others. Many came to Mike for wisdom, comfort, and laughter. Mike would listen, hurt, and rejoice with all who needed it. Mike was also known to make the room laugh with little effort.
