I got my Bronco Driver more than a week ago and have attempted this post on multiple occasions, without success after being unable to find the words that could do justice to my thoughts and feelings.

I know how much the authors loved my son and I am amazed by the words they were able to find and how well they were put together, and I also know how hard that must have been for them.

I was so deeply touched and honored by this article that I will probably never be able to find the words that could express what it has meant to me and my family.

So for now I will just say Thank You to Bronco Driver Magazine, John Dixon and Christine Stites, and the rest of you who have meant so much to me and always will.

I have been truly blessed and so was my son.

And I Thank You so much

Great tribute. It was the 1st thing I read when I got my BD. After I read it I put the mag down and just sat there a while. It was another reminder that he left us too soon.

The authors did an excellent job, so did you, Valerie, & Michael for the way he was raised and carried himself. I can imagine one of the hardest things was selecting from all the memories of that fine young man to put on paper.

Thanks goes to you 2 for bringing Michael into our lives. How one lives is his testimony to be remembered, and Michael will be remembered well. Michael is your testimony for you raised him.
As far as difficult to write. When it comes to Mike-you need an article I'll write you an article, you want a book I got you covered there as well.;)

Sadly, I never was blessed with the opportunity to know Michael or his family. I've read all of the posts on here regarding him, and thought the article in BD was awesome!

I've always had a hard time understanding how God could take someone so special and young away from us too soon. I have come to accept and understand that His most precious and loved are often here for only a short time, but have the greatest impact on our lives.

I'd like to commend his folks for the wonderful young man they raised and shared with us, and to all of the members on here who helped him be who he was.

This is the greatest collection of people to be found anywhere. If I don't have the opportunity to meet many of you here, I certainly look forward to the day when we all get together for a little Heavenly wheeling!

That article was amazing. Like so many others, I only was able to experience Michael through the board here. I read through that article and can see how well he connected with everyone else in the photos. Thanks for sharing the story with us BroncoJAK and everyone.

A very well written article. For those of us who did not have the pleasure to meet Michael it was a great opportunity to read more about him. Thanks to the Starks for allowing the article to be submitted.

You know, I've typed this at least a half dozen times, can't get the words without getting tears in my eyes. It was a great pleasure meeting Michael and knowing him for such a short time, but has left a lasting impression for the rest of my life. Also without a doubt a pleasure knowing you & Val and all the rest of the great folks out there.

Thank you Alan & Val for raising such an exceptional son!!!!!!!!

I'm new to this board as a member, but I've been browsing around for quite some time and have read all the threads about your son, and just read the bronco driver article last night. I'm really sorry for your loss, it sounds like you had an exceptional kid and he will be remembered by many. I know I'm just a stranger to you guys, but I wish all the best for you and your family.

I'll be home on the 16th for the first time in 3 months. I've told my daughter to get this mag out of the stack of bills and other stuff that's waiting on me, because it will be the first thing I read when I return. If you ever wondered what sets the EB crowd apart, this would be it.
