To the family of Mike Holdren: I graduated high school in 1987 and he was in my class. I saw him at a class reunion, which I know he’s attended a lot of them. He is a Gretna dragon to the core. My thoughts and prayers are to his wife and his son, friends and family. There are no words in the situation and we never know when the end will be live your life to the fullest like Mike did.

Dear Melinda: Mary Ann and I grieve with your family for the loss of Mike. He was so loved and valued by the Butcher family and his many kind acts and loving relationship with his grandmother, Kay Butcher, will never be forgotten. As Mike's uncle, I always enjoyed his enthusiasm for life, his sense of humor and his determination to lead a good life. I enjoyed the pride he demonstrated in his family and friends in his frequent Facebook posts. To me, Mike was an all-around winner that I was pleased to know. We send you our sincere sympathy and prayers.

I am so sorry for your lose. I am floored by this news. While I only spent a short time in Mike's life, his friendship holds a special place in my heart. In those few short years at LXA we shared so many laughs and life lessons. The ease with which we became fast friends was a testimate to the open, loving person Mike was. I had only recently been reconnected to Mike through facebook. I don't know how many time I thought I should drop him a message and never did. I regret that now. I do appreciate from his posts that he had not changed. He will be missed.

Micheal always brought a smile to my face. He always had a joke or a story to tell. When he was born I helped my sister Georgia pick his name, and whenever she was unable to care for him he was with me. When he was little I was always amazed by his cleverness, how he could take building blocks and make whole cities, the stories he would tell, and his beautiful art. I feel so blessed for having a part in rasing him, for the time my family and I got to spend with him, and for the joy he brought us. I cannot express how sad I am for his untimely loss and how much I will miss him. I am so sorry I am unable to attend the funeral, and my heart goes out to Melinda and Logan.
