Hey folks -

Michael was one of my best friends. For those who don't know, Michael died almost 5 years ago (7/11/2001) by a drunk driver. All that is left of him is his artwork, and the passion he drew with. I wish you all could have met him. His memories, laugh and passion for both art and the Lord was like none else.

I am writing to share this because it has been almost 5 years since I have written anything here. The Wednesday night Michael died, he was at church, in worship. Like any other Wednesday night, Michael left church and got in his car with his girlfriend, Patrica. A drunk driver took his life...

Folks, no one is sure when their last breathe will be. We aren't promised any length of time here and so, I ask you to consider his life and his artwork. More than that, I ask you all to consider knowing Jesus as your Lord. Thank you for enjoying the art Michael did. - Tim M.

Who the hell are you to preach to me! or any body else who reads this. Religion is just an excuse for control. whatever you may believe is your look out but dont try forcing your beliefs on others! For all you know Jesus may never of existed. What basis have you got for belief? If God is so great then how come my sister died from cancer. where was he then? Gods is just an excuse for illiussion. so stick that up your pipe and smoke it!

My dearest Michael,

It's been 5 years and I have stop to question what I've really done with my life in that time. I miss some of the people from my past and for some reason my heart cannot let go. I recently visited the site of yours and Trish's accident and I cried. I hugged the pole where your picture is. Why can't I hear you talk to me? It's been a while, but I truly feel completely lost.

I don't understand the world we live in and it scares me. I try so hard to make a difference, but I don't think anyone notices, nor cares. It's difficult sometimes being here and feeling helpless in the harsh grasp of reality. I've decided to go into my life's calling and do social work. This way, maybe I can make a difference in the life of a child. Impact someone the way you impacted me.

I miss you friend.

Love your little buddy

Love your art your great i too have been forgiven by jesus christ may he bless you and your art

hey Maythegodscondemyou! dont flame the dude for beleiving! i am also a strong beleiver in Jesus Christ, and i have seen miricals done. and not on tv or videos, i Was THERE! it is amazing to feel the love of God. i hope he finds you somewhere. and as for your sister, i feel your sorrow at her loss, but God has a plan. nothing happens exept for a reason.

Jesus is Lord! Don't ever let Him go and hold true to your convictions and calling!!! Awesome art!!!

Michael,

I visit your site and see people still comment. You’re touching lives even after yours has ended. It amazes me. God never ceases to do that. So many miracles EVERY DAY we take for granted. And yet, here we are. 6 and a half years ago.

I’ve been through so much. Mostly from my own doing. I finally hit bottom....well I had to reach up to touch bottom. But my life has a meaning now. My life finally has a purpose. I feel like...brand new. I feel loved. I feel God every day in my life and my heart. My soul is refreshed every time I breathe. I never knew what that could feel like. I’m going to be a nurse soon. I’m going to get married. And someday if God so chooses to bless me...I’m going to be a mom.

I miss you everyday, but I finally learned how to keep you in my heart without being sad and lonely and depressed without my friend. Other people have learned to by now. So why not me?

I’ve learned that everyday is a gift. I’ve learned how to keep those who matter close to me and to be kind. At least I think I have.

I hope that you’d be proud of me right now. I hope that you love me and check in from time to time. My heart still calls out. I hope.

All the love your little buddy can muster...

In Christ.
