Cousin Mike, I’m Thankful for the adventures and knowing you. Though we haven’t seen each other in decades, you were always a good guy and will be missed. You are finally free and transcended.
To Mikes family and my dear cousin Lisa, I’m sorry for your loss, and glad y’all were able to go on ocean adventures together. How lucky are we to have basked in Mikes joy and laughter in our own lifetimes. Finding the balance in this life for the next one.
The next adventure awaits! 🌺

My condolescences to the Taft family.
We had a nickname for Mike at work, ‘Smiley,’ because he always had a smile on his face. His enthusiasm and knowledge were respectable.
Mike and I attended Central High School together. He was all around a great guy. Friend to everyone. Always a smile on his face. Would go out of his way to help you. May he rest in peace, and thank you so much for your service, my friend…Godspeed <3
He served his country and was a fellow Navy veteran as myself.
He treated me with kindness and dignity, and I saw that he did the same to others around him.
He will sorely be missed.
God bless the Taft family and your loss of your loved one.
Respectfully,
The Martinez family
