What can I say. The shock and disbelief is so raw.
You was like a brother, always had a smile. Always there to help when needed. You called me Special (lol) My memories of you make me smile that I have them, but cry knowing there will not be any new ones
Your love was your family. Your children, especially Mikki, Eesh and Lachauna, and grandchildren, Leah, Relly, Jaydan, Zi Zi and most recently Marnz, they were your Heartbeat. Dee was your Heart, hers is now broken. For 25 years you were each other's prop. The song Stronger in Love, describes your relationship.
Sledge, you was taken too soon but your legacy will live on in your children and grandchildren. Fly High Sledge 🕊🕊

It’s hard for me to come to grips with the way Mikey’s life ended. A man who has done so much positive things in so many lives, including mine. “Likkle cuz” he would call me. Anyone would know Mikey has a good handle on driving. He was one of the best driver, if not the best to ever sit around a steering wheel. When I first got my license, I was privileged to have sat next to him in the passenger seat on many occasions to experience how he handled a vehicle. Not only was I the passenger, but also the driver, next to him. Mikey taught me how to handle a vehicle on the streets of NY. We would switch places driving from Brooklyn to the Bronx, to Queens, to Philadelphia. I learned driving in the streets of New York from the best! Such an honor.
Mikey decided to move from NY to Miami Florida. He bought me a ticket to fly down to spend Christmas. I was in College then, but Mikey still asked my mom for permission. I had the best time experiencing Miami. I knew then, that’s where I wanted to live. Although that became a reality, Mikey not long after, migrated to England. We spoke on and off until 2 weeks prior to his final trip to JA. He expressed he didn’t want to leave till his grand baby came. Mikey loved his children and deserved to be with his family. Mikey, you will be missed.
