Remembrances

I was two years ahead of Mike at Kenyon, but was quickly wowed by him during MUN. Confident and persuasive but not arrogant, knowledgeable and ambitious but not nerdy or overbearing, he was a genuine team player who truly wanted everyone to succeed. He brought so much energy and enthusiasm to his passions, and gave his all to so much. Mike was so perceptive, and was always ready to offer a shoulder to those in need. He was an all-around incredible guy, an inspirational figure who brought out the best in others. I lost touch with Mike a few years after college, though I'd wonder what he was up to. This is such a sad loss to anyone who knew 'Husky.' RIP, Mike.

I remember how we all called Mike "Husky" because he was such an exuberant, playful puppy of a man.
We were friends in college, but we reconnected in a big way online just a few years ago when we discovered that we had almost identical taste in movies. I remember a night last summer when my notifications started blowing up like nobody's business; it was because I'd tweeted about how Godzilla: King of Monsters had blown my mind, and Mike saw it and had a similar reaction, and he had to talk about it RIGHT NOW to someone else who felt the same way.
I don't know if he ever saw Godzilla vs. Kong. Or what he thought about it. I wish we could have geek's out one last time.
Rest in peace, Mike. I'll think of you every time I watch a Mike Flanagan movie, and I know that's just how you'd want it.
