Mike and I shared many loud and fun moments with friends and people we both admire surrounding us, but also some quiet introspective moments. I will always remember and cherish the warm radiant energy he carried with him wherever he went. And I want to share one conversation in particular because I think about this conversation we had often. It was right before I was about to pack up all my belongings and move to LA. He had just slept over at mine and Cara's house in Vancouver and while Cara was out we sat on the couch sharing stories about travel and dreams for future endeavors. I was about to head into the unknown, moving out of this cozy home with my best friend, and I was a little scared. Mike had such a calm demeanor and a conviction when he said 'It's all gong to be fine. It's going to be so fun and bring you so much growth, making movies and travelling.' I really believed him. The way he said it was so sure and so positive, nothing else could be true, so it became a mantra for me. He impacted how I see myself and the world around me and I can't say that about too many people. Mike lived a beautiful and inspiring life. He will be greatly missed in this world, but forever held in people's hearts.
