Michael C. Chase

Michael Charlie Chase


The morning always comes with a new day, leaving yesterday's sorrows behind. Today is the day of our celebration for God's special gift of Mike Chase.

Mike was a loving husband to Linda, his lifelong partner. Mike is our best friend, a caring son, a brotherly cousin, and a beacon of light to anyone needing a caring companion. Most of all Mike is our hero!

Courageous in his battle, Mike went home on Thursday, July 8, 2004, to continue to serve those who need his special kind of friendship, his unconditional love, and his glowing sweet smile. Today there is a brighter star in heaven that helps to illuminate each of our hearts and to help fill the emptiness we now feel with the loss of our friend. Today, the sunrise and the sunset in Key West is just a little more beautiful because we know Mike is helping to guide, giving us strength, and showing each of us to live life to its fullest and to love each other without restraint, without restrictions, without prejudice.

Let us all rejoice in the knowledge and comfort that Mike is in a better place, without pain. Let each of us draw courage and strength from the ways in which Mike showed us every day in just being a true friend. Mike's life is a living testimony of the enormous difference one person can make on so many different people! Lets celebrate the friendship that Mike gave each of us and be ever aware of his continued presence and guidance in how we choose to live our lives through his example.

We love you Mike!
