Sending prayers and condolences
I just learned of Mike’s passing and am so very sorry to hear. I knew him professionally and thought very highly of him as a colleague and truly decent person. My thoughts and prayers to his family – he spoke often of them with obvious pride and love.

Some people make you smile when you think of them. Mike Epplen was such a fellow! Never flashy or loud, you still couldn’t help but notice how well he went about his business. He was a kind, big hearted man with an exceptionally dry wit, who loved his family and friends and wasn’t afraid to show it.
May perpetual light shine upon him!
Prayers for Mike and to your family
