My sincere condolences to the Kaker family; you are in our thoughts and prarys. Michael was one of the best co-workers you could ask for. His friendly, easy-going style made him instantly likeable. He was always ready to take on new challenges at work and at home. I loved talking technical items with him at work and then chatting about building home networks or laying wooden floors during lunch. Our conversations were never boring. No matter the topic, Michael seemed to know a little bit about everything. He was also a devoted family man who was always taking about his adventures as being a dad. I will miss you greatly, Michael.

I will always have great memories of when we were young and with me living across the street there were many games of basketball played, lots of jumping on the trampoline and Mike bouncing me to the moon and just good ol hanging out...I missed everyone so much when I moved to Saginaw but Mike was kind enough to come visit me... Thanks Mike for making my move easier and making Lakeside not seem so far away!

Mike was a very nice person and calm while on the court but yet an intense player. I am sure Mike and Monte have already worked on the Pick n Roll one more time. We wish the best for the Kaker family.

My deepest condolences to the Kaker family. I had the pleasure of having him and his family over to my house one New Year's Eve. My husband was so excited to have another male friend over to watch college bowl games while us ladies laughed and talked while playing Mexican bingo. Though we didn't get to see them as much as we would have liked, Mike was an awesome man to be around. We love you Jemmy, Emma and Vince. We will always be here for you. Love always Tony, Cecilia and Adrian Jimenez

Michael was a good man, a dedicated employee and a friend. I thought about him last week as he told us his hone was always open to Chris and I and we planned to visit in Jan - I didn’t call. I am really sad about that. Michael was always respectful, but stood his ground and I respected his input. I wish I could be there to see the family and express my feelings but I cannot. He will be missed but always thought of lovingly!
Peace of mind is a call away. We’re here when you need us most.
