Devin and Conner’s dad, Mike, lost his battle with colon cancer this morning. The boys were by his side, which is what all three of them wanted.
Thanks for all of the love, prayers and words of encouragement.

Vivienne,
You and the boys are in my prayers. It is never easy to lose someone you love and I’m sure it was hard to support your boys during this trying time. What a great blessing it was for them to be with their dad during his final moments.

It’s been a long hard journey for him, the boys and you. The last 3+ weeks have be more than trying. I’m glad that he is finally a peace and that the boys will be able to take a deep breath and start moving forward again. What a privilege Mike had by having his boys by his side and what bravery and strength they showed by being there. You my friend have taught them well!
Now breath….
