Mikeals little brother here...

It's been amazing to see everyone's experiences with Mikeal, and it hurts so bad to have lost him so early. I've always looked up to Mikeal in every way, and entry level tech as I am, it keeps amazing me how much he truly had an impact on the way we build and do so many things.

It's been a really hard time knowing I can't ever reach out for wisdom, insight or just a brotherly talk about our families.

I couldn't be happier to have had the opportunities to film TacoConf while on a double bike with Max, or bring my wife and kid to film NodeConf at Walker Creek ranch. Memories I'll never forget, but also saddened I never got more over the years. I always felt like I wasn't up to snuff to do anything tech, and always dreamed of the chance to work with him. Knowing I never will hurts harder than anything I've experienced, but knowing that everything I work on now involves his fingerprint is inspiring.

I love you bro..
