Michael Black Obituary

The Black Family would like to express our gratitude for the outpouring of love and grace that we have experienced over the last few days and thank our Lord Jesus Christ for His sustaining power that will carry us through this challenging time. Our hope is that the pain we are feeling can be used to challenge all of us to live each moment to its fullest potential. Michael was always the life of the party. He was fully alive, and he had a huge heart. He loved people and was always willing to reach out and make new friends. From leading teams in Africa, to inspiring his football, baseball and rugby mates to reach for excellence, Michael was always looking to serve the people around him. We are so thankful for his life and thankful for the time we got to spend with him. He was a son, a warrior and a true man of God. Please continue to pray for us as we walk through this difficult time.

Gary, We went to youth group and Church together at Christian Center Open Bible Church in the 80's. I was so sorry to hear of your loss. He is a handsome Young Man of God. Our children are almost the same ages.
I just found out today and wanted to reach out to you even though it has been so long since we have seen each other. I will remember you and your family in our prayers.
Love in Christ,
Wendy Doxey-Hsieh

My daughter knew your son in middle school and early high school before we moved to Arizona. Her heart is heavy thinking of his fun memory - may God bless each and every one of your dear family.

You don't know us, but we are so saddened to hear of your loss. We lost our 21-year old son last week as well so we know your pain. Heaven received two warriors last week.
