Kathy and I are stunned at Mike's passing. He was a genuine Christian in life, not just in word. His devotion to serving God was obvious, as was his love for his family. Psalm 116:15 says, "Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of His saints." The word "precious" comes from the Greek word "yaqar" and in this verse, it means "costly." Mike's passing was not an act of God, for his passing is costly to God's Kingdom work on Earth. It is also costly to all those who knew and loved Mike. Yet God has made His peace available to us all to strengthen and comfort. Our prayers have gone forth for Heather, the family, the staff at BellHop, and Mike's friends. We will see him again and join him in worshiping before the throne of Jesus.

I met Mike over 30 years ago through his sister Cindy. At the time I thought it was very unusual to leave a good job as an investment property manager. A decade later I learned about how God calls and how true believers respond.Mike was a kind guy with a lot of common sense and wisdom and I am sure he set an example for many around him. He deserves his place in eternity. Richard D\u2019Al

Rich & I -- Karen (Sabin) Richey -- offer our love & deepest sympathy to Heather & all the Sabin family. We prayall will feel God's Presence & Comfort today & in the days to come.I have known Mike since 1963 when I met his dad, Roy, & we were married in 1964. So... I have literally seen Mike"grow up" & have been a part of his life. I totally agree with the statement "Mike has been the 'rock' of the Sabinfamily". When Roy passed on to Eternal Life in 2001, Mike was a tremendous help to me in helping with the funeral arrangements for his dad. He also used his beautiful gift of singing at the funeral service. Later he helpedme with doing my taxes for several years. I will miss his great smile & hugs, & there is no one who can sing "Oh HolyNight" like Mike. I have many memories of the early years of going fishing, ice skating, picnicking at Houston Woods &of course, Christmas time, birthdays, & weekends. I re-married in 2004 & introduced Rich to the Sabin family. He immediately felt accepted & at home with them & they with him.Rich & Mike enjoyed each other's company & liked to exchange stories & jokes. We both will miss Mike very much.I do know if anyone is ready to meet his Heavenly Father face-to-face, it was Mike. When he did, I know he heard thewords, "Well done, good & faithful Servant"!! Now we'll look forward to being reunited in our "Permanent Home".With Love & Prayers,Rich & Karen

I am so sorry to hear this news, and sure it must be a terrible shock to everyone. I met Mike at Bellhop Cafe several years ago, and would play there about once a year. Mike was always ready to talk about Jesus, always giving a good report, always exhibiting generous fruit of the Spirit. Now that he has been promoted we can be assured that the coffee in heaven will be good. I'll miss you, Mike.

While growing up I always remember Mike and Heather, mostly from Family Reunions. I adored Mike and always thought he was so fun. He would play with all the kids and he was very outgoing. I always felt important when he was around. I haven\u2019t had much interaction with him as an adult but my mom loved her \u201ccousin Mike\u201d so much. When she was diagnosed with cancer, he was there, when she passed, he was there. There were always memories of playing together as children being shared when they were together. I\u2019m very grateful for their connection and the love they shared and for Mike\u2019s willingness to always be there for her. He spoke at her funeral and I will forever be grateful for that. Heather, Julie, Sarah and Emily, thank you all for being so supportive of his desires to reach out to others in their times of need. I truly understand how hard things are for you right now and I pray that you will be able to find the comfort and peace that Mike would want you to have \ud83d\udc95

Heather and the rest of Mike's expanded family ... so sorry to see of Mike's passing. I did not know Mike well but his obituary paints a very nice picture of his full life and his impact on his family, friends and the community. A great testimony! Best wishes as you come to terms with this sad event.
