It is with a heavy heart that I write this small tribute and offer my deepest sympathies to Andrea, Chance, Erica, and the many, many people who were blessed by the spirit, joy, and humor of Mike Willie. He made us all roar with laughter at Outback, and I truly have never met anyone else like him who could find the humor in the darkest times and make others feel better as he did. May the memories of Mike's laughter and kindness give you comfort in the days ahead.

It won't be the same at MBMHI without you! Birthday celebrations will be different on 2nd floor without your signature cheesecakes and chocolate coffee cakes. You were always so thoughtful leaving desserts behind even when you were off campus for the day! I miss you calling me Mary Tyler Moore already! Praying for your family!

Andrea, Mike was a sweet, funny high school friend. He actually graduated with my younger sister at Overton but everybody who knew him loved him. (That I was two years older, knew him and counted him among my friends speaks volumes to his great gift of bringing joy to all who knew him.) We are all going to be praying for you in the days ahead. God bless you and comfort you as you begin this journey...

Mike- Your humor, intelligence and playfulness will never be forgotten. I can't help but smile when thinking on the adventures we had through those rough teenage years. My prayers are with your family and close friends, as I know how hard it must be to lose someone as amazing as you. Keep on laughing, buddy.

I will miss Mike so much! I worked with Mike at Erlanger HealthLink Plus in 2005 and we became fast friends. This is also where I met Andrea, Chance, and Erica. Mike always had a new joke to tell and loved to make others laugh. He was such a generous person and would give you the shirt off his back. He was an inspiration to me and he could always brighten anyone's day. Mike didn't like to take credit for some of his accomplishments, one of which I am attaching the link below. He won an award for The Veterans History Project which was such an honor. He was also an excellent chef and we will all miss his Christmas fudge. Rest in Peace my friend. Prayers and peace for family and friends.

Mike. You will be missed. S o wish I had more time to hangout with you. I will miss your calls on the first of the month with the group and you always trying to get me in trouble. I enjoyed the Christmas get together we once did in Nashville wondering what you would bring. To your family great man and a wonderful person. Fly high my brother. Barrett Stevens. WMHI.

Mike was one of the very few bright spots of my angst ridden teenage years. I am thankful for all the laughs and stories I have to share with my children! Sorry I didn't reconnect with him while visiting my parents in Chattanooga. My prayers to his family. "May God surround you with His comforting peace and infinite love."

I am really not sure where to begin, except that I am deeply saddened by Mike's passing. We shared some wonderful years together during our employ at Erlanger. We were more than cohorts, but friends and much of the time, family. Our team shared so much together in our individual life's journey. It was just a few months ago that I received a very touching message from him - one of gratitude for believing in him. How could I not? Mike, you will always hold a very special place in my heart. Rest in peace dear one!
