Mike , man where do I begin. You always had a joke for somebody. Some were questionable but you had funny way of delivering it anyway.Thanks for all the good times we had , from the days at your auto shop, to working with us doing Plumbing, then asking me getting you started with Lowes some 25 years ago…We’ve had many,many laughs over the years. And I sincerely will miss the talks we had. I’m sure your hangin out with Maur , Mom, Pop , Memie and Brother Mike . Sorry bud but there’s no slots up there in heaven. Give ‘em all hug for me

I always enjoyed trading jokes with you. Most them we shouldn’t have been saying at work, but you have to find a way to stay sane, right? You were always helpful and kind, a pity that more people don’t share those traits. But your work here is done, rest easy my friend.

My deepest condolences to to Mike’s family. I loved working with Mike he was a very good friend and coworker. Mike always had jokes for everyone and was a very happy person and always came around to make sure I was alright and always told my my husband make sure you take good care of Linda cause I have the same illness as his wife. He will be deeply missed. God Bless you Mike! Your friend Linda Pantoja 😔

Damn Mike I can’t believe you are gone, working with you the last 15 years has been a fun and crazy time. I honestly will miss the terrible jokes and you telling customers that I wanted to be a doctor lol. Rest easy brother.

I was Truly sadden by the news of Mike’s passing. I’ve only known him for a short time. We worked together at the Lowe’s store. He was Such a sweet kind man. Always had a joke to make me Laugh. Even had the Nerve to try to match make. He would tell the guys, Sharon Single. We would Laugh. My prayer is that God would Comfort and strengthen each one of your hearts. You truly have my Prayers and Condolences.
With love ❤️ Mike

Words can’t express how much I’m going to miss you and your crazy jokes. There were times you would tell a customer one of your jokes and I’m standing there thinking god you’re going to get fired. Your response would be I don’t care. We had so much fun working together. You made some of those god awful days much easier to deal with. Lowe’s is not going to be the same without you. RIP my friend.

I can’t believe my buddy is gone. If I was having a bad day, he was always there with a joke or a hug. It was a pleasure to work with you for all those years.
Rest in peace Mike.

Mike was a terrific example of what we all should be – caring, giving and willing to help another person. His never ending sense of humor kept life light and shouldn’t we all be willing to stop and smell the roses when they are in bloom. You will be missed my dear friend. We were better with you, but we will strive to carry on your light.
Mike Byard
My deepest condolences, Mike was a good dude, worked with him for 12 years, the jokes, the laughs, sometimes deep conversations about life, see you on the other side brother.
Michael Filipkowski
We grew up together in Westview and considered Mickey to be my best friend. When he moved to Silview I would ride my bike to his house to visit. We both had auto repair businesses when we were older. I also remember going to the Massitti’s for Cub Scouts. I would always look for him whenever l went to Lowe’s. Going to miss you save me a spot.
James Falkowski
Going to miss you man!!! I’ve known you for over 20 years when i first started working at Lowe’s and definitely left a huge impression on me with all of your jokes and trying to hook me up with every customer that would come to the desk! Was great to see you after leaving Lowe’s and then coming back to work at your store and dealing with you every day was always so helpful and was always willing to help each other out when needed. Rest easy man you have a lot of jokes to tell everyone upstairs now!!
Steve & Karen Conrad
You just couldn’t ask for a better next door neighbor. He’d always keep an eye on things for us when we were away, even bringing in the newspaper from the driveway so the house didn’t look vacant. He never expected anything in return and was always ready with a joke.
We’ll miss you, Mike, as we still miss Maureen.
Rest in peace, friend. You’ve earned it.
