An awesome man, who made such an impact on so many lives and will be missed by so many.
Gone too soon. He made the most of this life and those of us who knew him were so blessed. Prayers for all of his loved ones. Peace and blessings to you all..
So sorry to have him gone so soon, Yes he was a great person remembering from a young age. He was always helping us all with his calls from over seas to his unexpected visits from far away. He sent our parents money from time to time when they were struggling back home. I know how hard it is to loose a parent especially when they are so close to you. Time will heal the sorrow but the memories will never go away. I am sure he was thinking of Beps care in his last days. Love you all and we will miss him very much also. Not only was he a great husband and father but a great brother also. Butch
Mick, as we called him, left us way too early. He was a loving inspiration to all of us. He enjoyed life and helping anyone in need, always with a smile or a joke. His sense of humor will be greatly missed. He was a great brother and always helped me through tough times. I will miss our long phone calls so much. God Bless Beppie and my neices & nephews Ann
Aube clan, May his laugh and sense of fun always be part of your lives. His was a life of quiet acts of charity and kindness. Always saw him lend a helping hand wherever he perceived a need. Loved his laugh. Always a smile. He could be knee-deep in mud and chaos and there he would be smiling and working away. No mountain too high. The torch is now passed to all of you to continue his legacy. May God comfort you and hold you close to Him. Our deepest condolences, Debra (Tesar) and Sven Grahn
Mike was a genuine patriot who will be missed by many. He loved his country, family and friends.
We served together on the SAC MSET team during the ’70s. I also spent some time with Mike and Gary while exercising and bending elbows at the Aube-Myers auto body shop, in Bellevue, following his retirement from active duty.
Sincerest condolences to Mike’s family during this time of grief. God bless you all

My remembrances of Mike are of a man that I wish I was more like. And probably would have been if I had been able to spend more time with him (and Bepe). He was a tremendously positive influence on many many people. I remember him for his humor and his gentle loving ways. His compassionate eyes evidenced his loving spirit.
Best wishes to his family as they adjust to his no-longer physical presence in our world. His continuing spiritual presence will be felt by many. bye, Mike, I’ll be catching up with you sooner or later.
Mike was one of the first neighbors to greet us when we moved into the neighborhood back in 2010. He would always say hello when we saw him tinkering in his garage and would always invite our family to the Gifford Farms Fall family festival. Always willing to help and our kids adored him. So sorry to hear of his passing, he was a blessing to many!
