Some people have more impact than they ever could have appreciated. Michael was such a person in my life. He was unconventional, and inspired that portion of me that seeks not to follow beaten paths. He was curious, and inspired my interest in philosophy, which became my major and led me to law school. He was adventurous, and led me on a 500 mile bike ride that has me touring yet today. He was introspective, and encouraged my self-examination. I wish for him that he could have appreciated more fully how important he was to those who loved him, and that his life would not have been cut short just as he found himself and was about to start his family. You will be remembered, my friend.
