What can I say about Mike, he was a very giving man, I will start with that. The way he saw family was not just of blood but of bonds, he had a presence when he was around. I thank Mike for putting carpet in my home and being here with my family when I got out of the hospital after major surgery. He made sure I was comfortable with an air conditioner, and checked on me the weeks following. No matter of someones faults or their past, no one deserves how he passed. We are human, and he was one awesome human, fly high Mike, watch over us all as you always did while being on earth. To his daughter who is so sweet and loving, your daddy will always be in your heart

Mike was my lil brother and I say that with all of my heart yes he is my ex’s brother Jalin Collins. But My live for Mike never changed. He is my children’s Uncle who loved them something fierce especially his niece Justice Rayne that was his girl he was there the moment that lil girl took her first breaths of life. And his live continued thru the years then theirs his nephew Kaine Micheal who happens to named after Mike we just switched up the spelling to be just a lil different. Who he loved to teach him to do and say all the naughty things a young uncle teaches his first nephew then their are the younger girls Arianna Marie and JayaLynn who Mike lives just as much we didn’t get see a lot of mike for our paths took different Joyner ya but never went without checking in on me and the kids and making sure we were always doing ok. That was mike the person who put himself before others. That’s is the mike we all know and love. He will forever be in our hearts unfortunately we cannot make it to mikes funeral and it saddens us deeply to be able to attend. But Mike knows just how much he ment to us and to me I’m ok with that. REST IN PEACE MIKE. ?????

Mike was a part of my family, like a brother to me, an uncle to my kids. He was a very kind hearted man with a heart of gold and a legendary smile. He would do ANYTHING for ANYONE even a complete stranger. My husband and I always loved his surprise visits any time of the day or night. Never knew when he would show up or if you would wake up to him sleeping in his truck in the driveway if he got into town in the middle of the night and didn't want to wake us up. Mike was a man that loved kids. He loved everyone's kids like they were his own. My kids will miss their Uncle Mike telling them to "Say Somethin" I will miss Mike greatly. He was not just a great friend but a part of my family. We will hold his memory in our hearts and strive to be as kind, as helpful, as fun, as loving and as selfless as Mike always was.
