Cecily , Jill and The White Family,
We had the privilege and joy of knowing Michael through his marriage to Jill , my best friend and of course his beautiful daughter Cecily. I was honored to be a part of their wedding party and later attended Cecily’s birthdays and seeing them at St. Andrew School. We also enjoyed Michael’s friendship and presence at our son’s birthdays and Holy Communion. My husband, Michael, who also worked at AT&T enjoyed talking and sharing a friendship with Cecily’s Michael. We were deeply saddened when finding out Michael had passed. He was a loving father to Cecily and when we saw him we knew she was his world . May God grant peace and comfort to those who loved him most. May Michael be welcomed into God’s loving arms as he enters his kingdom of eternal life and happiness.
Words cannot express how much, Michael will be missed. We loved him so much and he was an amazing Uncle to Joseph and Adeline!! We had some really good laughs and enjoyed all of his visits when he came to Rockport. We are praying for all of you!! Rest In Peace my beloved brother in law.

Cecily, Jill and family. It so hard to lose a loved one especially so young. Thinking about you & praying for you. He will be with you always through all your memories together. ❤️❤️
Michael – you will be dearly missed! Your birthday was only 1 day before mine but many years before I was born…So, I loved messing with you about how “old” you are by calling you “grandpa” 🤣. I also loved messing with you about your many, many Facebook posts with pictures of food 🤣. I will miss you cousin!
Cecily – From my own experience losing a parent is so very, very hard & I will be praying for you…Praying that you have many friends & family members around to support you. Your dad adored you will be watching over you.
Robert & Charles – Unfortunately, I also know what it’s like to lose a sibling & I am so sorry for your loss. I will also be praying for you as you learn to go about living without your brother.
George & Carla – I’m so sorry for your loss… mom & I will be be here for you when you need us.

Mike was a great guy and always fun to be around. I will miss my golf buddy very much! Praying for the family!
One of my earliest memories of Michael is him on the beach in Port Aransas with Rojo. He carried a genuine smile, an unfettered zeal, and an unmistakable love for his family. Those traits never diminished in the years I knew him. My deepest condolences on the loss of such a beautiful soul. My love to you all.
Rest In Peace Michael
I always enjoyed hanging out with you during family times and look forward to play golf or cooking out for pool party at Bryan and Debra. You always had a good heart and Spirit. You will be missed. Sorry for y’all loss George, Carla , Robert , Charles and Cecily.
There’s so much we don’t understand, so all we can do is to hold on and trust in the God who does. Praying for comfort and peace as only He can give. You have our heartfelt sympathy.
Our thoughts and prayer are with you. May he rest in peace.
I am so very sorry for your loss. I hadn’t seen Michael since high school but we connected on Facebook and chatted every now and again. He was a great guy and it was obvious how much he loved Cecily. My thoughts and prayers are with the whole family during this painful time.
