Dear Fallon Family,
My prayers are with you during this difficult time. I’m sorry that Michael is not with us as he was, but I am reminded that he is healed of his illness now and that we are left with fond memories of the friendly, fun loving person he was. Micheal had a smile that totally overwhelmed his face. That was my favorite part of talking to him when I was a kid and that’s the way I see him when I think about him now;smiling.
God Bless You,
Christina Bass

Mikey was one of the kindest, most gentle persons I knew. Such a big, goofy man-child. He was one of my favorite younger fraternity brothers and always a joy to be around. Luis and I introduced him to some crazy adventures — I know he NEVER forgot one special night, with a special girl. A kid in a candy store. God bless his loving soul.

My deepest heartfelt symphathies go out to Mikey’s family. I only just found him on facebook 2 months ago and was so happy to have reconnected. Both Nigel and I had called him and tried to get him to come visit. Maybe we should have done more. We’ll miss you bro’. xoxoxoxo

I’ve missed Mikey since I left LA in 1992 and was so elated to reconnect with him just recently, only to lose him again. Today is trully a sad day for me as he was my Pledge Brother. It’s hard to lose yet another Brother. I hope the family takes comfort in knowing how loved he was and how many lives he touched even after 17 years of not seeing him. As Tim and Bryon mentioned, not a day goes by that I don’t see a Reyn Spooner and I think of Mikey wearing his and all the fun we got into. Go in Peace Mikey….I love you! Your Brother, Luis
