Mike Mccune Death, Obituary – It wasn’t too long ago when I learned the tragic news that Mike McCune, a buddy of mine from when we were both in middle school, had passed away recently. During those years, Mike and I were in the same class together. My heart hurts so horribly whenever I think about him going through this with all of his loved ones because it brings back so many painful memories. Jill Vincent McCune, Eliza & Jack… At this time, you are in both my thoughts and prayers. I hope everything is going well for you. I’m hoping everything is going well with you. At this very moment, I am thinking about you.
After being separated for a period of time that spanned several years, Mike and I were finally able to get back in touch with one another as a direct result of the teaching and coaching responsibilities that I held at ELCA. We felt that our relationship had come full circle as a result of the fact that we were working together to coach football teams at middle schools, which was a pretty exciting possibility for the two of us. Because they were one of my go-to teams to watch play football, I kept a close eye on Michael’s middle school football squad. When Jack was in elementary school, Mike’s son Mike attended my school and was one of my students.
Jack was a member of my class when he was in middle school, and both Mike and I coached the athletic teams at the school. We reasoned that taking a picture of the whole group while we were participating in one of the activities would be the most effective strategy for ensuring that none of us would ever forget the fantastic day that we had just experienced. Mike was the only person on whom I could depend to bring up embarrassing or silly memories from my younger years. He was always there for me when I needed him. He was the one person I could count on in that situation. This was something that he did on a regular basis.
Mike, we are going to miss having you here with us, but we wish you the best of luck on your journey and hope you have an amazing time. I was shocked to learn about the demise of your good friend, and please know that you are in my thoughts and prayers as you go through this challenging time. It would appear that you are keeping a lot of happy memories to yourself, which is admirable. This is a really encouraging development. I would be grateful if you would pray for the people in my family and circle of friends who are the closest to me.
