The world has lost a great man and I’ve lost you my good friend.
Never is anyone more genuine, loyal and kinder than you Mitch.
You always stood up for what was right and fair, mostly for others.
My children loved you and are very sad mate, Brad and Ella especially.
You also knew that Evil and bad things Prevails when good men do nothing, that’s why you always did something to make someone’s life better, and got a few whacks on the nose 😂, but you didn’t stop mate. Admired you for that.
We both had a very dry and sarcastic sense of humour, anything was fair game if it was funny.
I’m still hoping this is a prank, because I’m not sure I believe your gone mate.
When is my time, let’s meet up, I’ll be in the warm place down under if you’re allowed to visit for a day.😂
Love you mate ❤️ you won’t be forgotten my friend. ❤️

My big cuz Michael, I'm so lost for words, I still can’t quite believe you’re gone. We all had so much fun growing up together as kids, cheating at Scattergories to wind Andrea up, rolling eggs downhill in Paisley, holidays to Egypt and checking out the pyramids. Thanks for breaking your ankle the day before we went to Disneyland Paris by the way, and getting us on first for all the rides with your crutches! Only you.
You had such a funny sense of humour and never failed to make me laugh and smile. Thank you for looking after me at mums funeral, for scooping me up when I couldn’t face it. It gives me some comfort knowing that you’re with her now, and that you’re both no longer in pain and back to your silly selves. Look after each other and we’ll do the same down here. Love you so much, Shareen xxx

In my long career at Pepsico there are a few special people who have stayed with me; Michael was one of them. He was a pleasure to work with; kind, generous and a team player in the true sense of the word. And we laughed-a lot. His sense of humour was off the chart. My every sympathy to his family. Rest in peace Michael.

Mitch. For well over two decades, all my adult life, you have been my best friend, more than my best friend, you were my brother. We went through so much together. Whenever life gave me a kicking, whenever I gave myself a kicking, you were there for me. When things were great and life was flying high, you were with me. You kept me balanced, forward looking and on the level.
Your passion for equality and fairness, your willingness to stand by these beliefs. How you would always be the upstander and see thigs from other people’s point of view. Your razor-sharp sense of humour and ability to speak to me with a wry look or mere turn of your head. These were your best qualities, the reasons I admired you so much and the qualities I try echo myself.
Our friendship wasn’t always growth and guidance though was it. Crikey did we know how to have fun and laugh! The great raid of Wokefield Park golf course. The Miracle of Istanbul. The endless meet-ups at De Hems. The stag dos (Brighton). Colours. The road trips you pretended to hate. The NYE’s. The Grand Nationals. The UCL finals. Dock Gate 4. The back of Dan’s van. The Marbella schnitz. I could go on and on and on. We often laughed until it hurt and often wanted to do it and re-live it again and again and again.
We didn’t speak toward the end, I never knew why, we not once had a falling out, I guess now I’ll truthfully never know why, but it doesn’t matter one bit because had the time of our lives together through ‘the wonder years’. You will live with me forever and you will be with me forever.
Thank you for everything, brother.
Buck.

Michael - I will always have such happy memories of our time working together at PepsiCo....we were all so lucky to have had the chance to work with you as a friend and colleague.
You made a massive impact on everyone that you worked with...and for me personally you were one of the very few people that understood & appreciated my taste in music! (You had fine taste!)
My love and deepest condolences to all of your family & many friends.

I’m so sorry to hear about Michael. He is and will be very much missed by all of his former colleagues at Pepsico.
Michael was so supportive, a really close team member with a fantastic sense of humour who could always be relied upon. And he really helped me personally when I first moved to Pepsico’s head office, knowing nothing about the team or function. He was so welcoming and this was typical of Michael’s kind and selfless nature.
My deepest sympathy

Michael, As soon as I arrived at PepsiCo you were there to help and support me, telling me how to play the "game" and more importantly make me laugh with your quick wit and sarcasm ! You really made us feel like a team and had such a huge presence. So clever and passionate and full of energy. You were a true shining light in the Demand Planning Team and it was a pleasure to get to know you. You will be forever in our thoughts.
