I met Mike back in college through Dave White who I was friends with at Clemson. Mike would come down to South Carolina to visit Dave, and ended up becoming friends with all of us through his many visits. We always had so much fun together tailgating, going to football games, trips to Columbia - the list goes on and on. The last time I saw Mike was at a football game in Syracuse. A few of us decided to drive up to Syracuse to see them play against Clemson, and we stayed at Mike's house. Mike was such a good host and both him and Dave showed us their hometown and made sure we all had a great time. I have nothing but good memories whenever Mike was around, and my heart breaks for those who were closest to him. He was truly a genuinely nice and caring person that always had a huge smile on his face.
