We will miss his loving spirit and his quick wit. We’re so happy we had the opportunities to enjoy him at the River and at our Reunions. What a great guy!
There are just no words to express the loss that so many of us feel. I will treasure the times that we all had together more than I can say. Some people are special in this world….Mike was one of those people and will be missed beyond measure. I feel truly priviledged to have been counted as a friend. He will never be forgotten.
Karen – im sorry – and im sorry i lost contact with ya’ll—Monte was a real friend to all he met– always willing to help–i remember our good times at SFA–sitten on the front porch smoking, drinking a little and wondering how we were going to pay our enormous 75 bucks for the next months rent–it didn’t matter much everybody was broke anyway–i remember his trip to come see me in Lajitas, Tx. and our trip down the Rio Grande–and the way we tore up the Arkansas river on a trip on it–Karen tho GOD has him now he still loves you just as much as he did while he was here with you and Kelli, Krista, and Micheal–he was a good man and i am pleased to have known him–wish i had stayed closer contact to ya’ll–you and him were fun partners and GOD will take care of ya’ll–johnny savage
Krista, Marc, Jake, Luke and the entire Marrs family–
We’re so sorry for the loss of your precious dad, husband, and grandfather. I know you all have many happy memories of him, and we pray that they’ll be a comfort to y’all, knowing that he’s in no more pain. I’m so glad we got to spend a little time around Monte on his trips to Fredericksburg! Prayers for all of you–for comfort, peace, strength, and healing–from the Immel family in Fredericksburg.
Love you all!
Scott, Jenny, Cole, & Brooks Immel
When I think of Mike, I think of fun and laughter and that’s what I will miss so much! What a joy he was to be around as he made everyone feel so loved and special. I pray that God’s mercy and compassion will give you comfort and peace in the days ahead. With a heart full of love, nk
Mike made me laugh so much. That is how I will always remember him.
Karen, No words can express how sorry I am for your loss. We will be praying for you and your family during this time. Kim, Clint and Lauren Smith
Karen and Family.. may the Lord’s love comfort your hearts as you grieve the closing of Monte’s life chapter here on earth knowing that there is a greater reunion and eternal chapter ahead! He was truly a special person, as you all know better that we, fixed in our memories. God grant great comfort and blessings to you!
God never made a funnier and more insightful man than my buddy, Monte (eventhough he did cut his breckfast eggs up in a weird way).
He loved life and always made the world more enjoyable for those around him. I will miss him forever!

Karen and family,
Just want to wish you my condolences. Monty will be missed. I enjoyed our conversations and had a lot of respect for him. He was a great friend and neighbor. He will be remembered always. God bless your family and if there is anything we can do please let us know.
Thanks,
Justin Steblay
So sorry for your loss. He will be missed by all of his classmates. At least we have a lot of good memories that nobody can take from us.

Karen and Family,
I am so sorry for your loss. Monte was a very special person who enjoyed life to the fullest. His sense of humor was one of his true attributes. I have some wonderful memories of the times we all spent together many, many years ago when all our children were growing up. May your memories of him give you comfort in the difficult time of grief. My prayer is that God will grant you peace and comfort.
I can’t say the sadness I feel at Mike’s loss. He was such a great, crazy, fun guy with a beautiful family. He was my first car date. I pray for comfort for his family, and for all of us, his friends. We are thinking of you from up here in Maryland.
Karen and Family: I have thought about you throughout the year and want you to know that Monte will not be forgotten. His sense of humor and wonderful personality lives on in my memories of him. Blessings to you all from an old friend. Linda
