Dear Michael, One year ago today we all hoped beyond hope for a miracle. This miracle never came - as you are no longer here with us. As we celebrated this new year it was bitter sweet as we held on to our love ones and remember those we lost. One year ago on that night I received your last text that I still have locked on my phone. I shed a tear as I read it and then felt a peace over me remembering your love is still around. May your smile continue to shine in heaven and your love continue to bring a smile to our faces. Miss and love you Mikey!!! 0:)

Mikey.. I can't honesty say that I have thought about you much lately. As you're up in heaven with your mom and grandmom, I am sure that you know that my mother has joined you all up in heaven. I'm sorry that I haven't thought about you but I know that you are not mad. I know that you understand the pain I am going through with mami being gone. But I wanted to let you know that I have gone to your grave and tried my best to help maintain its appearance. You don't deserve to have it messed up and I am sure that sherley and the rest of the gang will be passing by to visit you. But I couldn't start the new year without saying happy new year brother. I miss you and I love you bro. Take care up there. God bless you.
Sincerely, Orlando

Dear Mikey, My little brother... what can I say that hasn't already been said??? It took me a long time to even get to this point... The only reall thing that's become the main focal point of this whole thing is that God took you way too soon. :-( Since I met you, you have grown so much over the years. There were good times and there were bad times although not between us. You were always there for me when I needed to talk and no one else was around. You were and still are a true friend. You've touched people's lives wherever you were and somehow, when we were together whether it was with me and Luis at Famous Pizza having pizza and beer or at the club just chillin', you always seemed to brighten everyone's lives... and I knew that by watching the look on people's faces and how they reacted. We've had so many great times back in the day... I miss those days. I know that in recent years we haven't really talked much but whenever I talked to Sherley or Luis I tried my best regardless of how much was on my mind to ask about how you were doing. Out of touch and far away, you were always considered family to me... and when I was told that you were in the hospital I cried. And when I found out you died, a part of me died with you. Only a handful of people and God knows why I feel the way I really feel now... and my tears fell like the rain and the feeling in my chest was heavy. Sometimes it still is but the tears have ceased because I know now that you are in a better place and your suffering has ended. I've tried so hard to do you justice for you... your tribute, the pictures, etc... I was there for you until the very end and to be honest with you, I wish I really wasn't here, writing this to you because after this, there is no more for me to do. Together, we along with other people formed what we call the family.. but now that family has one less person.... I dont understand why God had to take you when he has others who were suffering more than you that He could take. This is so hard for me to do... writing this. I can feel my tears coming back again and my chest getting heavy again because I know I will never see you again. I want to take this one last opportunity to tell you that I love you very much and if I ever did or said anything to you that made you mad or whatever, I'm sorry. I don't know if I ever did but just in case. You were such a great person, full of life.... I will never understand why God chose you. This was the only thing I had left to do... so I want to say thank you Mikey. For your friendship. Thank you for your brotherhood. Thank you always being a part of my life. I will never forget you and I hope that I made you proud in whatever I do in my life. I know that you are now in a better place with your mother. Even though you are not around anymore, I refuse to think of you as being dead... I prefer to think of you as being away on a journey. A journey that I know one day we will see each other again. I will miss you very much little brother. Until then... see you later. I ask that you do one thing while you're up there... watch over us all and pop in every once in a while if you can. I love you and miss you bro... May God keep you in his blessings and may you rest in peace. :'(

it was my first year at Bassick High school. i knew no one from the school. but then one say i read there were auditions for the musical Grease and i decided to go and try out and that is where i made my new friends, and among them was Mikey, from that day me and Mikey were great friends we hung out at his house we did more performances with Slam productions. We stayed friends all through high School and even after the fact he graduated before me and i moved away to a new place and new school i moved back and we attended the same college and did a few more performances and Mikey was and still is one of the best friends i made and could ever ask for. but the one memory i will never forget is when he gave me the role of jack Dawson in spirit of titanic and acted side by side with him and that performance i hold very dear since it was our last one together before he moved away.

You are the first to leave us but you will never be forgotten. I will always carry your memories in my heart and forever replay in our videos. I remember a project that Luis gave us n for all have I can't remember the story but we had some laughs. It was taken in bassick n we were going from locker to locker, we were making it as we went along. I wish I had more time to get to know you better now, but the short time spent wit us was one to cherish. God wanted you n I will never question Him. I do want to thank Him for giving me the wonderful pleasure of u being my friend. Love u Mickey...

I've had the grand privilege of meeting and knowing Mike. We met under unusual circumstances as he was sort of "drafted" into what would ultimately become what we used to call "S.L.A.M Productions" (Student Lions And More). Through this small production company we spent a lot of time rehearsing dance routines to the music of New Kids On The Block, Michael Jackson and the movie Grease. Mike would just laugh at the musical selections I would pick but go along with it. Somehow our show went on tour where we entertained students from different schools in Bridgeport including Waltersville school where he attended and his mother Dorothy Dennis worked. Somehow we also went to St Joseph's Manor in Trumbull and entertained the elderly. This was all done on a volunteer basis and nobody ever complained. If we were offered a school lunch or cookies we were happy. Mike was always thrilled to participate and enjoyed getting up on stage to entertain. If you didn't know him well you would likely see and shy guy. So it surprised me how enthusiastic he was to continue doing shows with us which ultimately landed him a role in the McGiveny Center's adaptation of "West Side Story" where he played one of the Sharks and was asked to learn the lines of a character named "Chino" to serve as his understudy. I remember sitting on the bleachers of the gymnasium with him helping him learn his lines in case he had to go on. Once he learned the lines he was hoping that the other actor would somehow be unable to go on-lol He later got cast in an original theatrical production called "Marginal Saints" where he played one of the gang members in in a show dedicated to entertain and educate youth about the dangers of gang violence and teen pregnancy. His final stage production involved students from Bassick high school (where he graduated from) in their school where he played a man involved in a dramatic love triangle on the Titanic ship. It was such a prominent role in the play and I remember being so proud seeing him up there on stage doing his thing. :) When we weren't doing shows we volunteered back at Waltersville school to decorate their basement dress up as monsters to scare the little kids at the school. Our time was usually spent creatively, productively and having fun. He was always happy to be on board to be involved in things that made others happy. He was a great guy and always had a positive attitude. Our last conversation took place on new years day when he wished me a Happy New Year via text where we conversed briefly about his plans to come back to Bridgeport CT after being away for so long. He told me his plan was to come here around April. I told him "I'll see you soon" and he said "Yes you will lol". Never in a million years would I have imagined that his trip back would be months earlier and in this way. I will never get that chance to sit and laugh with you as we had done so numerous times in the past. This is such a great loss and one I will never understand. Mike, as you look down on us from Heaven know that you were loved and will be missed. I will see you on the other side. In closing I will leave you with the words you last sent me that will forever be engraved in my heart: "Until next time Keep it Metal and Keep it Filthy".

Jesus said to her, "Your brother will rise again." Martha said to him, "I know that he will rise again in the resurrection on the last day." Jesus said to her, "I am the resurrection and the life. Whoever believes in me, though he die, yet shall he live, and everyone who lives and believes in me shall never die. Do you believe this?"
- John 11:23-26
We were all in high school and Ricky was already in college, studying art and photograghy at the University of Bridgeport when we decided to participate in Bassick's "Boogie Woogie LIps & Hips" show. I believe the event took place in 1995 and the circle of friends in which Mikey was a part of was already formed and we were shaping ourselves into what we called "the family". It was myself, along with Luis, Ricky, Mikey, and Joey. It took a little time but we all finally agreed to Ricky's idea of performing to a mix of the New Kids On The Block (NKOTB)- not all of us were thrilled with the idea because Ricky was actually the only one who was actually a fan of theirs! We practiced for weeks, making sure that we got all the moves right while at the same time setting up and creating the backdrops. It was a lot of fun. We had so many goof-ups and to this day I am not sure if there are any actual footage of us on tape rehearsing the numbers that Ricky had picked for us. Poor Mikey and Joey- they had the hardest time learning the moves and they would get mixed up more than I did! But we learned it pretty good. The day came and the audience was packed to watch the show and overall it was a pretty good show ... until we came along!
For the most part we were doing pretty good... I dont know about the rest of the guys but I wasn't exactly thrilled to wear the American flag shirt (laughs- for the record, Ricky hounded me to wear it until I finally agreed to do so). We got up there and began our performance and to be honest, I really dont remember all of the songs that we used in the mix as I try hard to forget the embarassment I went through that day! I know one song was "Please don't go girl" and "My favorite girl" but as I remember, there was five of us so we each had our own part to do or something like that. My memory of Mikey is in the above photo I attached with this story as, during the show, I think that Mikey had gotten nervous and began to mess up- if we turn right, he went left and if we spinned left, he would go right and just lag behind. We kept it going and we had gotten a pretty good ovation for what it was. But in the back of our minds we were all like "What's he doing, follow us, follow us!" (laughs again) We look back on it now and we can't help but laugh at the craziness that we have all had to go through... Because of Ricky! (laughs again and I could see Luis standing next to me right now going, "Yeah Ricky!" As embarassed as I was that day doing the show, I will never forget that night which was full of memories and fun. My point is this... Mikey was a part of the family- to me, to my cousins, to everyone. He was always willing to do anything to help us with anything we wanted to do. He was very thoughtful of others. It is safe to say that Mikey had a place reserved in the "Familia" all along and we couldn't have hadd a better friend and brother in Mikey. When one of us fell, he was there to give us strength in his own way. And his strength gave us all strength and at one point or another, we were all there for him whenever he needed us because that's what families do.
Between 2000 and 2001, my brother Ruben was DJ'ing at a club on the West side of Bridgeport. I would go just about every weekend to release the stress and at the same time, spend time with my brother, Luis and Mikey as well. We had a lot of fun together- many laughs and great times. Those memories are burned in my heart forever and it was a great honor knowing Mikey as the person he was and who he came to be and how he died. If anything, one of his greatest qualities was that he never, ever changed... and if he did, it was for the better. I am proud of him, and I am proud of the fact that I can call him MY BROTHER because that is who he became to me and when he passed away, he took a part of me with him. God has blessed him in so many ways and God has blessed us all with having Mikey in our lives and giving us a chance to know Mikey as he was- smart, funny, loving, imaginative, down to earth and overall, one of my greatest people I will probably ever have the honor of knowing.
I am deeply saddend at his loss but I feel at peace knowing that he got what he wanted... to be near his mother. And even though he is not here with us, that doesn't mean that he is gone- he is simply away for the time being and we will all see him one day. But until then, we can all rest easy knowing that he is in Heaven with his mother and grandmother. And to leave one last memory burned in your minds about Mikey... when we let the balloons go, three of them stayed together (not tied), as they ascended into the sky, never separating... to me, that was Mikey, his mother and grandmother taking him with them to where he belongs.... home.
Mikey, we all miss you dearly but I know deep inside that you aren't suffering anymore and that you are with your mother, up in Heaven, looking down on all of us sending a piece of you to stay with us. We will see each other again one day but always, ALWAYS remember... it's never GOODBYE... it's "I'LL SEE YOU LATER." I love you little brother, May God bless you always and may you rest in peace.

You are my heart, my cousin but we were close like brothers. We grew up together and we shared alot of great moments together. In your final hours I had the pleasure to hear your voice one last time... you called to tell me your plans which was to happen in a few weeks. You chose me to call... now I feel like you were saying your goodbyes. That last conversation we ever had I will cherish in my heart forever. You were a great person who always stood stong when times got tough. You stood up and helped others when they needed you but most of all you blessed each and every single one of us with your love. It is hard to believe that you are even gone... I look at my phone waiting to hear your phone calls... I expected one almost every day. Now I have to get use to not hearing from you. There have been times I wanted to call your phone but stopped myself to realize your gone. You may be gone cuzo but you will never ever be forgotten in my heart. I never had the chance to ever tell you how proud I was of you for being the postive person you were. You looked up to me and I remember you came to me about everything when you needed advice. We talked about some of the craziest things but I am going to miss our game times together. Catching up on Wrestling News and lastly to hear you tell me about your dreams. You have never gotten in trouble, you never stood me wrong but the Lord has taken you for a reason. What that reason the Lord only knows. What I do know is you are in a better place. You walked that path to a new journey to join Mom. When you arrive she will be waiting for you. I hope it's beautiful up there in Heaven and I hope the Lord gave you your wings because you will are my angel. I Love You and I will always keep you in my heart. Stay blessed Cuzo we will one day meet again. God Bless

I wasn't given the chance to really get to know him as well as my family has due to my age and our locations, but he was there for my childhood and grew up with my parents as well as my aunts and uncles. Though he is not my blood relative i still see him as an uncle due to the fact he was so close to us and in God's belief,which he followed, we are all family. i relize he dead a happy man which is all one can really ask for and im happy for that, but the fact that he is now in enternal rest alnog with his lost loved ones and the angels above is all i need to keep my head high and continue my life knowing he is watching me and is hopefully proud of me. You will forever be my uncle and i will cerish the wonderful stories I hear about yoo from the family. rest in peace. sincerely, Edgar jr. a.k.a boobie

I want to share with you all about Michael's prophetic side. About two months ago Michael had an encounter with God that lasted three days. He just stayed in that realm with it because he didn't want to lose it. He summed it up for me one day and I had it on my cell phone so I will share it with you all here: Michael's word from the Lord about the "Spiritual Enforcers": "I saw three of them. They were representing God to the churches. I knew they were serious. I knew one of them was God but didn't know what the other two were, but believe they are going to come into churches and sit in the front row and have people concentrate on the things that were supposed to be heard in the church. They looked like people but were angels. They were going to get into churches and help them hear and make correction. So things have to be in a little bit of bad shape for the enforcers of God to be sent in. It's a time when the people will need to focus on God and when they focus on God things will happen because they won't be focusing on human standards but on God. The angels knew exactly who Jesus was. " Another comment he made, "That's why I knew there was something different about them spiritually. Then it made sense that they were angels because they had more spirituality than we do as humans. …So it must be bad like I said." Michael was a worshipper of the Lord Jesus Christ. He loved to walk and pray. He would get on a roll and not stop. It was always good to just let him go at the top of his lungs. He would declare the wonders of God. He would state his magnificence, his awesomeness, his position in heaven with the angels. He understood the awe and fearfulness of that realm and would cringe saying that the whole world is going to have to bow down before Him . Michael would love to press into God and get prophetic words. He was very careful to be sure of what he was hearing before he would share. He pressed us hard to get words from the Lord for him as well. He would call or text with something from the national or international news that he felt God was focusing on, as a watchman on the wall for our nation. He expected us to take it and pray it through. We called him eagle eye, because he often saw things in the spirit that we weren't seeing. Michael was drawn to that deep music and it almost had him. But through that he developed a heart for those musicians. He cried out for them because he heard their cry to be understood and listened to. He guarded over their spiritual progress hoping more of us would develop a heart of prayer for them as well. Michael will be dearly missed. Although we didn't meet as a church we always said, "We are the church!" May you be blessed by this side of your brother and friend. He prayed for you..lifted all on his cell phone up to the Lord for the fire of God to come on you all. He was a mighty man of God

Dear Luis and Chris Valez & Michael's Extended family. My name is Jim Dierickx, and I am one of Michael's friends here in the Quad Cities, I live on the NW Iowa side of the Quad City area . I want to say that you all have my deepest sympathies and my thoughts and prayers are with you all, in your time of loss.
Your brother was a good friend and he was a believer in Jesus Christ, and over the years I have been there for him and he has called me at many late hours like I told him to do, I wanted to be in his life. And we would talk and pray and I tried to encourage him as much as possible.
It was such a shock when I got a text from Karen Blogrem around 1:45 AM on Jan 3, 2012. That Michael was in the ICU at Illini, I rushed in to Illini ICU to pray for Michael, and even though I saw his passing with my own eyes, I still haven't grasped that he is gone. I still think he is going to call me, or I will call him and get his message saying, "that you know what to do, leave a message if you want to", that used to be his cell phone voice-mail message.
I remember one time back in the summer of 2008 Michael went with me and Karen Blogrem to Pine Ridge Indian reservation where the Lakota Sioux are located, to do ministry and missions work. Michael helped minister to the tribal people and really liked it we were there for a week.
A few years in the past I had Michael come over to my house on thanksgiving to have the Thanksgiving meal with my family and me. My oldest son really liked and looked up to Michael as well, especially on the trip to Pine Ridge.
Also over the years when my business was located in Davenport, IA , Michael would come over and do odd jobs and earn some extra money, and we would sit down and talk and pray as well. It was always good having him around and I was glad to be able to have some odd jobs to do. I even trusted him so much I gave him a key to the building so he could come over whenever he wanted. I really liked having him around.
And we would pray together as I said, for my shortcoming and his struggles as well, walking out our faith in Jesus Christ. It was so sad to see him leave so soon form this earth at only 33, but that is the same age that Jesus died as well. I know that from your Brother Michael's faith in Jesus that he is there with Him now I God's Heaven sing with the Angels. In Rev 18 it says," that God will wipe away every tear, and there will be no more sadness, death, decay, sickness, lack or disease; only peace, love, life, and happiness and the Light of God." So Michael is in no more pain, and like the 2nd Verse of Amazing Grace goes, " When we have been there 10,000 years shining brightly as the sun, we have no less days to Sing God's praise then when we first begun.
I am also reminded that he is not truly gone if we have him in our memories, and I will remember him forever, your bother Michael was a nice and awesome young man. And again, my whole-heartfelt condolences go out to your family, on the loss of your brother Michael. If any of you would like to call me to hear more about Michael please feel free to call me at 319.936.2504 or e-mail jim@4dde.com
