Oh Michael Abate I'm so sorry to hear of your passing! You were like a big brother to me since I was 16! I will always remember and honor you for your humor the most, but also your spunk and standing and fighting ( especially FB) for your convictions! You have left an indelible mark on all our hearts and leave a beautiful legacy behind! I applaud you and salute you for your service! Our Heavenly Father has called you home! His lord said to him, 'Well done, good and faithful servant; you were faithful over a few things, I will make you ruler over many things. Enter into the joy of your lord." Matthew 25:21 I'm praying for …
I’ll miss you Bro..
