Mikie was the kind of person that would do everything he could to help other no matter his own situation. He had an aura about him that all children felt, so they were drawn to him making an instant connection and bond. Mikie had such a soft heart for the little ones. No one had to question how Mikie felt for them because he showed it in his actions towards them. He also had a hidden talent, he enjoyed making sketches and drawings, he was very good at it. He was great with his hands; he enjoyed fixing anything. He was a tinker, King. He had so many creative ideas. Mikie was loved by all who knew him. He will be missed by his family and friends and will forever have a place in our hearts.
