Our church has supported his family during this time of searching for answers, and we ask that you continue to lift them—and all who were connected to him—in your prayers. He will be deeply missed.”
Michael was known not only for his musical gifts but also for his quiet strength, kind spirit, and unwavering dedication to his ministry. Whether in rehearsals, midweek services, or early Sunday morning sound checks, he showed up—faithfully, humbly, and with a heart fully surrendered to the call of worship.
