I remember seeing him at the first time on their Wedding in Thailand. He looked so kind. I met him every time that he brought his family back to Thailand. I still remember that he liked to go to the quiet places like Museum and Bang Poo. Such a wonderful family.
Please accept my condolence and may he rest in peace.
Best Regards to family

Mike was a neighbor to us in Boardwalk for many years. Affable, quiet but quick to sum up a person and their needs, he was the quintessential neighbor. He stated in touch after leaving our little neighborhood, frequently with pictures of his loving, growing family. Our hearts break for them as the start a new Lufe without him. Rest Mike, your job here is done. Loving thoughts for the family & many friends from Robert & Geneva Ziller.
Words cannot convey the emotions I have been feeling for the past few days after hearing of Mike’s passing. A kind, gentle, quiet spirit Mike’s presence was always felt when he was in a room even if he never uttered a word. I often wondered what he was thinking as I shared my insecurities, frustrations and struggle with life on life's terms.
For Mike's wife, children and family know that your pain and heartbreak is widely felt.

I worked with Mike at Suburban Heights Association, and he was a valuable member. He was always willing to volunteer, contributed a lot of good ideas, and he was a key player in getting our new Suburban Heights sign purchased and installed. We will certainly miss him.
Mike was someone I was happy to call a friend. His love for his wife Tai, his son Nick, and daughter Holly was obvious when I first met him. He was a man who would offer his help to a stranger and soon call them friend. He was so pleasant to be around and "life is good" is what he would often say. He and his family helped me through a rough patch in my life for which I will forever grateful. I was blessed to have his friendship. My condolences to Tai, Nick and Holly.
I met Mike K... “Cleveland Mike” nearly 20 years ago at the lowest point in my life. Mike took me under his wing and showed me a different and much healthier way to live. He saved my life during this time! Mike was always smiling, cracking jokes and loved to have a good time. Wether it was going to meetings, doing service to help others, weekly breakfast or dinner outings, football watch parties at his house where ALL were welcome, traveling to conventions, enjoying coffee or throwing the frisbee, or starting a business together(Point Freedom Investment Group) with our boys Rick, Jeremy and Jay... he lived “Life is Good” to the fullest! He was such a brilliant and loving soul to so many. Now, don’t get me wrong, if you knew Mike then you know he knew how to ruffle your feathers every now and then. Having said that, I think most would agree that the good in him certainly outweighed all else! One of the many things I admired about Mike was his passion to try new things. He had a strength to step outside his comfort zone and go for it! I would also like to tell his beautiful wife Tai and their lovely children Nicholas and Holly that Mike was an AMAZING person that touched countless lives for the better of humanity! I will miss my dear friend and trust in all that he taught and shared with me to carry on and enjoy life. The world is a much better place because of Mike and all he accomplished! Rest in Peace my PFIG brother! I love you! ❤️
Such a wonderful force in our spiritual community.
This is Mike arriving to work last Christmas for our ugly sweater day. He won! He said Holly helped him decorate his sweater. He always brought something interesting to the lab. He will be missed.
