Some of the best memories of my life were hanging out with Mikey at the roller rink in Sauk and of course the Anderson garage in Poynette. He has been one of the best friends of my life and I truly wish we'd seen more of each other these past few years. His passing leaves an empty spot in many hearts, but he will never be forgotten. My heart goes out to the entire Anderson family. Rest well my old friend.

Mikey, I am going to miss you so much. You are and will always be my very best friend. I can still see you trying to show Gavin how to use his new fishing pole you got him for Christmas, even though he was only three months old.

To Ronald, Shirley, Ron, Cheryl, Ken, Donna and the rest of the family. My heart and my prayers go out to you. Mikey will be greatly missed by everyone who knew him.

The world has lost a genuinely wonderful, loyal, and caring person. Mike would give his friends, or even a stranger, the shirt off his back. He will be deeply missed by all who have met him.
