My heart goes out to each of you.
It’s never easy to lose a loved one, but when it’s a shock it makes it all the more painful.

Mrs Ritchie I’m sorry for your family loss my thoughts and prayers are with you all at this difficult time. 🩵
Sorry for loss. Praying for your family.
Mikel was always good to me when we were kids growing up we hung out a lot. He taught me how to ride his banshee which we both thought was the coolest machine ever.
I also had some good trips in his old 72 Chevy truck I think it was took me to razorback basketball games and things like that. He will be missed, prayers for the family.
Praying for you family. Losing a loved one is never easy. I pray the Lord comforts you in your time of need
