His name was Mike McKeon.
He liked to skydive.
He built a race car.
He could be ridiculously funny at times.

He was the 1st guy I worked for back in 1992.
Mike was a great business man but a terrible treeman.
Over the years, as I grew as an arborist, I also grew to hate Mike for the way he approached this bizz.
I never immagined he would leave this earth so early in life.

Never hate anyone. Its very very hard to lose someone you hate...or thought you hated anyways.

No need bro. You and the rest of my arb. family are still around to keep me in line (or online).
I just woke up missing Mike today. Dont know why.
Googled his name and found this memorial.
He died in 2008.
Wanted to get his info on the Buzz so he could be imortalized within the archives of the BUZZ

Mabey they have Treebuzz in heaven and he will read this later.

What did he die from.I know in pass experiences when people have passed away ,I have regrets.The key is to learn from them.I had a really close friend die of cancer in 05.I had tremendous guilt because I wasnt really there for him,when he needed me most.Then 2 years ago my sister was diagnoised with cancer and I tried in every way to do every thing possible for her,so I wouldnt have to live with the regret of letting someone I love down again.She passed away in April and do I have regrets yes some,but mostly that I cant see her again.I think guilt,pain and regret are great teachers if we are willing to listen and be taught.Its weird but my friends passing taught me how to love more and I believe my sister really benefitted from that.So it gives me peace.Romans 8:28.
