While in college at CU, my Uncle Myke quickly established himself as the cool uncle. Although I was very young at the time, one lasting memory sticks out. He would often come over in his bright yellow motorcycle and black leather jacket. For a five year old boy, nothing could have been more exciting but […]
One of my favorite memories is from Li-Ming and Myke’s wedding. Kara and I were dancing, and the picture of it encompasses a feeling of joy, freedom, and adventure. All of these things make me think of Myke and some of the adventures we shared, like hiking up Pioneer Peak and going on an epic […]
I’m Myke’s brother Alek and today would have been his 42nd birthday – it’s so sad that he is no longer with us. There are countless stories I could tell about him, but here’s a short one from almost exactly 14 years ago. Myke and his soon-to-be-wife Li-Ming had come out to Colorado in late […]
I met Myke at least by age 12 but probably earlier as our families both attended Sacred Heart church and it’s possible we were in Sunday School/CCD together but I don’t remember exactly. We became good, close friends in middle school, through high school and beyond. I remember taking tennis lessons at the B.A.C. with […]
As many of you know Myke liked games and challenges. During the family’s 2018 trip to Hawaii I was in really good shape as I was a varsity athlete at the time and Myke had the bright idea to challenge me to a running race. 3 miles round trip to the Obama house down the […]
One of my earliest memories of Myke was getting to be the flower girl at his wedding. I don’t think I really knew what a wedding was for, I was just excited to look like a princess. My biggest impression of the day was the joy that surrounded everything. I remember the silence in the […]
You know when you have an idea and you share it with someone and they get super excited to help you figure things out? Myke was always that person and one of his favorites was helping to plan a surprise. My name is Wendy and I’m married to Myke’s brother Alek. When my husband was […]
Here are a few of my most memorable pictures with Myke including from the glory days of “operation bro powder”, an annual skiing and snowboarding trip with the brothers. The big smack talk before and after was almost as good as the skiing/boarding. I will mostly miss Myke’s intellect and companionship trying to untangle the […]
Myke was such the outdoor guy and loved being in the woods, on top of the mtns and fishing on the water. There are so many great memories but here are a few with pics. CLIMBING and BIKING – For Myke’s Bachelor party he wanted to get outdoors and had an idea to head down […]
Myke will be always most fondly remembered by everyone who had an honor to know him. As many people wrote about him on Facebook, really one of a kind. It has been a great honor for me to meet such a wonderful couple as Li-Ming and Myke. Furthermore, it is so admirable how supportive Li-Ming […]
