Ike passed immediately when struck by a hit and run vehicle New Years Eve at approximately 9:30pm. He had a wonderful night seeing the family, playing with the other dogs and children, running around the pool deck as Mike and Caleb played. The night couldn't be topped by anything but going to heaven.
We remember a beloved friend, constant companion, Mike's first "son", a unique personality, patient with children and puppies, kind to others, obedient, a comfort in times of trouble, playful and goofy, reliable, trustworthy, exhuberant, a cuddler and frequent sleeping companion to Mike. Ike multiplied the joy of circumstances and events such as walks, camping, swimming, work, and family get togethers. He provided a sense of security to his family at home, emotionally, and to Mike at Gold Creek. Ike bridged the span of Mike's childhood to adulthood, from being single to marriage, and from being an only "child" to being a "sibling" to Mike's sons. His long life, full of happy memories, will be cherished in the hearts of those who knew him and love him.
Please pray for my immediate family, and for any who had an attachment to Ike, perhaps yourself; that the Lord would stand in the gap with comfort, peace, and inner incomprehensible joy that only He can provide.
