I knew Michael and lived with the Tuomi's as a young man. Michaels family although they didn't have much, were kind enough to take me in as one of their own when I had no place to go. I'm proud to say that much of my success as an adult can be directly attributed to the positive experiences gained with Michael and his family. As a child, Michael was a very timid and shy and deceptively bright. He loved to play video games and hang out with his big brothers and his close friends. He loved and cared deeply for his mother and his two older brothers. Michael was also a little prankster, putting things in your shoes, hiding your personal items from you (never with ill intent, only for laughs) I can honestly say that he's never done one malicious thing to anyone, in fact I believe he is incapable such a thing because he was such a gentle, caring soul. Although Mikey, took some wrong turns as an adult, I believe if given more time and support, he would have been able to recover from them and live a happy productive life. Michael was often misunderstood because of his appearance. The tough exterior and tattoos hid the kind, loving person he really was. I can't understand why anyone would want to hurt Mike because he gave so much of himself away to benefit others around him. Never selfish, always thinking of others first, he was a true gentleman and a diamond in the rough. A devoted uncle, caring brother and a good friend. He will be sorely missed. God only takes the good ones first. Good luck in Heaven kiddo.
