Carroll and Junine, I was so sorry to hear about your son. May peace be with him.

Leon and family, I am so sorry for your loss. I know there are no words to comfort you now. But please know I am praying for you all. Sincerely, Kim Weaver and Brandon Biery

Dear Hegg Family,

My thoughts and prayers are with you all as you mourn the loss of Michael.

Simply as an acquaintance and neighbor, I knew him as an absolutely lovely, sweet and solid guy. We&d bump into each other in the elevator or coming in or out of the building usually - he always smiled. I admired how composed he was - quiet, thoughtful and quick to laugh.

Last Saturday I believe was the last time we said hello - just an elevator ride with a little light laughter while comparing notes on the construction sounds going on around us in the apartment building. He looked great and was smiling as usual.

I was just devastated to learn the news of his passing and questioned/doubted it a dozen times before acceptance kicked-in. I just would&ve never guessed.

I am deeply sad for the loss of this wonderful young man in all of your lives. May his memory be eternal.

Sincerely,

Mary Lee Pappas

(I seem to be the only one who remembers him walking a CUTE and HAPPY boxer. Whether it was his or not, she was the happiest dog I think I&ve ever met in my life, and I hope she is doing well through this as well.)

My thoughts and prayers are with the Hegg Family in their time of sorrow. Your son, husband & brother is in a truly better place.

Dear Leon & Junine,

Our condolences to you and your family. Our hearts break for you in your loss. We will be praying for you and your family. If there is anything that we can do for you, do not hesitate to ask.

Sincerely,
Shannon Mathis

Peace of mind is a call away. We’re here when you need us most.

Leon and Junine,
I am terribly sorry to hear about your loss. Joey informed me on Monday. I am sure it is very little comfort at this sorrowful time, but please know that you and your family are in our thoughts and prayers. May you all take comfort in each other and in the memories of happier times with your son.
Vicky (Hegg) Hoebing and family

I don&t even know where I can start to tell you how much my heart is breaking for your loss. Leon, Junine, I know it has been years since we have been in contact and I would have never imagined that this would be the reason for it. I am so sorry about Mike. He was a wonderful kid! I will always remember him following me and Travis around when he was little, just wanting to be involved in whatever we were doing. Even though we did not stay in contact, I know from speaking with Travis that he grew up to be a fine young man. While this may provide little comfort, I want you to both know that I will be thinking about you all in this difficult time and asking the Lord to comfort you both in a way that no one here can. No words can take away the grief, or wipe away the tears, but I pray that knowing your family is surrounded by love helps in some small way.

My deepest, sincerest condolences.

Nikki Olin

I am sorry for your loss. God Bless You and the whole Family.?Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live:? John 11:25 Although he may not be with us here on earth we will one day see him again, it may not be tonight or 5yrs from now but just remember he will always be there watching and by your sides.
I am sry I was unable to make it with my parents, but I did not feel a that was a place for a fussy 4 month old. I did not want to disturb anyone with him. So please accept my apologizes and condulances.
**GOD BLESS**

Carroll & Junine;

So terrible sorry to learn of the death of your son, Michael. There are no words to convey how sad I am for your loss. I just want to let you know that I am thinking about your family and sending prayers your way.

Cathy Nelson Nichols (Mrs. David)

I will always remember Michael with a smile on his face and he was a true and loyal friend to my daughter, Renee. I remember picking him up for school and bringing him home, he always smiled. That is the way I will always remember Michael, it was our priviledge and honor to have him in our lives. May God give you peace in this trying time and know that Michael is smiling down on us.

Leon & Junine,

I can&t convey how sorry I am to hear about Michael. Just losing my Mother last year is so hard for me even to this day, much less my child. What I remember of him is his cute little brown hair & that cheesy smile. He was such a sweet little guy. I wish that I would have got to know him as an adult. Please acept my family&s condolences & if there is ever anything I can do, please let me know.

Sincerely,
Lucy & Dave Douglas
