Today the city of Port Colborne said goodbye to a fine young man. Mikey McIntyre, beloved son, grandson, brother, uncle and friend to many more, died. At the ripe old age of twenty two.
Death is known as a constant companion. We’re all going there some day. I am more than twice his age, yet I highly doubt that so many people will turn out for me when the time comes. Standing room only. This man was loved.
He was quietly spoken, to the point of invisibility, as one speaker noted. That is a neat trick when you stand six foot six and are built like an outhouse, like Mikey.
I can’t claim to have known him very well. I can say that the loss is mine. That today I stood with and watched and listened to those he left behind. And I was left feeling, frankly, a little envious of the Gentle Giant. To be loved so much by so many is something that most spend whole lifetimes trying to achieve. Mikey did it without even trying. In only twenty two short years.
Carl that was so Beautifully said..My heart Is Broken My Son was My everything.. My Gentle Giant was So Huge in Many ways. The Magnitude Of Friends Is Overwelming
(((HUGGS))) Mikey sure was a character…how can anyone not like him…he was Mikey. We Loved…Love him ta bits. I didnt make it to his funeral but I still shared the moments. I still respected him from my home…R.I.P Mikey.
That is beautifully worded Carl. He was larger than life. He will always be missed. Thoughts and prayers to the family.
Beautiful words Carl 🙂
Mikey was a great young man, a great person always there when we need an extra player, May you RIP you Gentle Giant
Mikey was one of the kindness hearted young man who enjoy his family and friends. He always was there if you needed help or just someone to listen he was their . Mikey was the true meaning of a big caring heart. We all had fond memories of him to cherish and keep close to our hearts. He impacted a lot of people over the years with his gentleman ways. Mikey you will be missed but never forgotten . R.I.P. Mikey
Hi there! This post couldn’t be written any better! Going through this post remindds
me of my previous roommate! He continually kept talking
about this. I’ll send this post to him. Fairly certain he’ll have
a very good read. Many thanks for sharing!
