This Site Is Dedicated To The Memory Of....

This is mainly a site for all of my friends and family to check out, but there are some individuals who are very special to me who will never be able to see this site. This site is dedicated to those special individuals who are no longer with us, both known personally and not.
You are all missed. I wish you were all still here.

Madeline Micheels (My Paternal Grandmother)
D. October, 2004

Henry John Micheels (My Father)
D. October, 2003

While I got to meet my grandmother, I never got to meet my father, and will regret that forever. Regardless of what else I ever want to do in life, I want to become a psychologist because he told me I'd make a good one. Ever since he passed away, I've wanted that more than ever. I love and miss you both!

Jurgen "Jerry" Hansen (My Maternal Grandfather)
D. September, 1993

"Dad" is someone who helped raise me. By living with my grandparents, I learned to enjoy school and reading, grew up with what I consider to be good values and I enjoy oldies music. He could be a lot of fun at times, and a real bear at others. His guidance and love for the family is sorely missed.

And his parents (my great-grandparents):

Augusta and Willhelm Hansen

Grandma was a spitfire who always told you how it was and if you didn't like it, well, that was tough luck. Grandpa was always the lovable teddy bear in the family. There will never be another pair like this.

Susan "SoftPawz" (PERSONAL FRIEND)
D. 2001

One of the fine ladies who I chatted with as a part of our little online clique, "The Hairball Club." She will always be remembered as a kind lady who cared a lot about her animals.

Ricky "RIP1Golf" (PERSONAL FRIEND)
D. 1999

The first of our group in "The Hairball Club" to pass away, Ricky loved golf and was a trip to know. He and I shared the love of website-making, and he had a site that he made for his business selling golf stuff. When he passed away, lots of the Hairballers went their separate ways because it bothered them so much.

William S. Rams (PERSONAL FRIEND)
D. September 14, 2005

Billy first came into *MY* life through my best friend Kelly. He came into *HER* life via the MDA summer camp. He was her prom date while I had sneaker boy, the joke of the night. He was a really lovable individual who you could always depend on to get you out of a funk of any kind. His 15 minutes of fame as far as with Kelly and I are concerned came on a ride in Orlando called Jurassic Park in 2004. Read more about it here.

Andrew James "A.J." Schwarz
D. May 2, 1993

A.J.'s story is the epitome of HRS/DCF/CPS (whatever they're calling themselves now) not doing their job. If you go to anaphe.org, you will find out exactly why I say this. He lived in the same city I did in 1993 and when he was senselessly killed at the hands of his wretched stepmother, the case that came out in the papers was one of THE worst cases of abuse that the state of Florida has ever seen. As a result of my intended major, he is the ORIGINAL reason and remains the single largest motivator in my quest to become a psychologist and help abused children. I made him a promise in 1993 that I fully intend to keep, part of which was fulfilled last year when I visited his last place of residence and paid respects at his gravesite. Along with the family members mentioned above, this little boy is in my thoughts every single day. One day we'll have the facility, AJ. I promise.

Jonathan Gregory Brandis
D. November 12, 2003

What can I possibly say about Jon...? One of the most talented actors in the 90's, Jon had a huge career ahead of him. His pictures adorned tons of teenaged girls' walls and he still remains one of the most-photogenic and photographed stars to date. Nobody knows for sure (nor will they ever) exactly why he decided to hang himself on November 11, 2003 (he died the following day from the injuries sustained), but he left quite a legacy and so very many confused and saddened fans, friends and family in the wake of the event. Jon's suicide is one to learn from so that others may be prevented.
