  46. Just joined Facebook in the last week or so and this is one of the first pieces of news I have read. Feels so empty to see his face pop up with this sort of news. Redan was a VERY tight family and we all feel sorrow when part of it is pulled away. Seeing the names above for the first time in 20 years brings back so many good memories and I am glad that Mike was in many of them. I didn’t know the entire Dorolek family, but I new Joey very well – and am passing Joe and the entire family my condolences. Brian

  47. I know this is so much later and I hope it brings joy to know that Mike is still being thought of regularly by those who treasured him. An old friend from Redan reached out to me and this was the first bit of news he shared with me.
    Mike was such an integral part of my high school experience and such a wonderful person. I’ve read all of the other messages and they are right- Mike was so much fun and super funny, his laugh still resonates in my head today, and I can see him vividly, smiling as usual. He was a great person through and through. Ironically, I was just recently looking at old photos and, of course, he was in so many of them.
    He made such an impression on all of us- he will never be forgotten.
    To his wife and children- how blessed you were to have this man as yours. I hope you all are still surrounded by his beautiful memory and can feel him in this time. I’m so sorry for your loss.
    Sending love and light in every day to come~
