Our son Mike was so full of love. He was the guy always willing to help a friend or family member, his kindness had no limits. Mike’s smile lit up the room. When he was 14 a friend offered him a pill. A local doctor was selling scripts for opioids. This devil killed so many. For 20 years he battled, most of the time no one would know, but fentanyl changed the game. The cleaner his body got the more deadly it became. In the end, it was Kratom which is a legal substance that was laced with fentanyl that took him from us. We will never know the details of his last moments. We do know that we do not want our loss to be yours.
In Mikes honor, we started the Mike Summers Memorial Fund. Mike was a lover of the outdoors and of seeing kids smile, one hundred percent of the monies collected are dedicated to helping kids who do not have the means to get on the slopes. The funds cover tickets, lessons, equipment rental, and even ski gear if needed. Our family wishes to thank you for helping to give kids the joy of learning a new sport, and of being outdoors in a safe environment. It would make Mike so very happy to pass his love along.
No one is exempt from this loss; we are a strong and loving family. Do not think it won’t happen to you. Please educate yourselves and your children about this danger that is in our community.
