Mike was one of a kind and always kept our neighborhood rocking, he was always up for a chat or to share some fresh baked cookies. We will miss his smile and silly hats. Always loved
There were three of us. Mike, Kevin and myself. My brothers from other mothers. The comeradery we had between us was something like the three amigos, minus the talent.
We hung out as often as we could get away with. After high school, I joined the service. Every time I came home, my BFOMs were never too busy. They were always there to wisk me off on some wild adventure. Good time’s or bad time’s, Mike would always listen and share. Kevin describes Mike as the one who kept us in touch and up to date with one another. I agree with him. I will always remember and love Mike Sansom. He made me smile through the bad times and laugh like hell through the rest. Rest in peace brother.
I’m going to miss hearing and fighting with Mike!
Mike may you rest in peace now that you are together with your mom and Grandma. Although you will be missed I find peace in knowing you won’t have any more suffering. The rest of family left here will be ok, and you will live on in our memories forever. Till we meet again.
Mikey I’ll miss you so very much and I will always hold those memories we made so close to my heart. You were such an impact on my life and I will be forever indebted and honored for just knowing you. With much love your “little brother”
