We honor Mike for the incredible heart, dedication, and energy he shared with our youth and community. His passion for uplifting young people went beyond his role, it was a way of life, a commitment to helping each child feel seen, valued, and capable of achieving their dreams. Though he is no longer with us, the lessons he taught, the smiles he inspired, and the confidence he instilled continue to live on in the lives he touched. Every laugh, every encouragement, and every moment of guidance stands as a lasting testament to his love and devotion. Mike’s spirit remains woven into our mission, reminding us that the greatest gift we can give is belief in others, and the impact of a single life can ripple for generations.

​​​Mike dedicated his time and energy to both our farm and Play Grow Learn programs, always ready to lend a hand wherever it was needed. At PGL Camp, he ensured the children had every toy, game, and activity they could enjoy, carefully helping set up and take down each day with a smile. His presence made the programs run smoothly, and his thoughtfulness created moments of joy for countless kids. Though he is no longer with us, the care, effort, and kindness he shared continue to inspire our team and the young lives he touched.
