Michael P. Leither

Im so sorry for your loss.Your family will be in our prayers.

Mike,

It

I am devastated that Mike is gone. He was my best friend.

I know I already signed privately but just another note to let you know you are in my thoughts! I will be thinking of you all tomorrow and Friday as you deal with saying goodbye to Michael-a temporary goodbye!

I only had the opportunity to meet Michael a couple times, but I do remember the first time was at his cousin Chris’s wedding, we sat together at the meal the nite of the rehearsal, and I recall being impressed with his polite manner & personality. He certainly will be missed by many.

Leroy and Scott, I know exactly what you are going through. I have had the heartache of dealing with a death like this in my family. I was talking to my grandma about what she experienced during the time my uncle, committed suicide and she said you will replay things over in your head and want to play the blame game-don’t! And above all, she said it was her faith and religion that got her through that time. So lean on that right now and days to come.

My brother used to be in a band and he wrote a song surrounding our uncle’s suicide. It was a call to anyone and everyone to not give up and to not give in. I wish Michael had realized just how important he was and contrary to his last message on facebook-that he is unforgettable even if he wanted us to forget him. At least now he can hopefully finally find himself and find some peace and finally be happy! Thats all we’ve ever wanted for him.

Oh, my dear Michael how I wish you were still here. I never thought I would get a phone call saying you had died. I know you were loved by so many, myself included. I remember the times in my life when you were there playing with Scott, Chris and Joey when we were visiting gramma. Now you start another journey. May this one show you the love of Jesus. May his mercy and grace keep you safe. May you be surrounded by the people who loved you who have gone before especially your dear grandfather Al, who loved you dearly and your Uncle Al. Let them hold tight to you and may you find rest. You will not be forgotten Michael. You will be in my prayers and in my heart.

Scott and Family,
Our most heartfelt, deepest sympathy goes to all you during this time of great loss. We did not know Michael personally, but if he was anything like his brother, he was a very loving and caring man!!! Our thoughts and prayers are with all of you during such a hard time in your lives. Know that Michael is now safe in God’s arms and watching over all of you. He has God on his side to help protect you and will now have eternal life. May God bless all of you.
Love,
Aaron and Tina

Because of Michael’s love for other people and the desire to help other people more than himself has donated his organs so other people could live. Our Michael’s love will now keep on living in other people. May God protect these people and help them spread Michael’s love even more.

Goodbyes are not forever
Goodbyes are not the end
They simply mean I’ll miss you
Until we meet again.
Thank you Mike for accepting me into your family as your sister in law. I am blessed to have known you. I miss you dearly and may you rest in peace. Love Stacy

My Dear Michael, I know you are happy and safe with your Heavenly Father. But you Dad on earth deeply misses you. You were a true gift from God to me and Scott and everyone who had the pleasure to know you.Even though you were on earth with us way too short, you were loved EVERY MINUTE of EVERY DAY. You will be in my thoughts and part of my heart every day until we are together again.

Mike you will dearly missed!!!

THROUGH LIFE FRIENDS COME AND GO OUTLINING A PATH THAT YOU CHOOSE. AND THEN THERE ARE THE FRIENDS THAT FILL THAT PATH AND MAKE YOU WHO YOU ARE. THE TEARS ARE FOR THE GRIEF I FEEL TODAY AND THE SMILES AND LAUGHS ARE FOR THE MEMORIES YOU LEFT IN MY HEART AND LIFE. THANK YOU MIKE FOR SHARING YOUR LIFE AND FRIENDSHIP WITH ME.

Michael,

I love you so much that you would not understand. I hope that you are in a happy place and will always look over me. You will be missed very much and one day we will be together.

I love you,

Scott Leither
