I am so sorry to hear of Mike’s passing. I have so many fond memories of my friend. Mike was the first person I met when my family moved to Atlanta in the early 70s. We became instant friends. Mike introduced me to soccer and encouraged me to join the Green Panthers. We played together on that team for close to 10 years and won many championships together. Mike was a fearless goalkeeper and great team leader. All of the guys on that team remain good friends to this day. Soccer ended up being a huge part of my life and career as I was able to play in college and coach for 30 years. Mike started it all. We shared our love of music and attended our first concert together, Elton John at the Omni. We lost touch for periods of time throughout our adult years, but we’re able to reconnect in the last five years. We were able to talk on the phone several times and he always remembered my birthday.
I will miss Mike here on earth, but look forward to reuniting with him one day in heaven.

Our prayers and thoughts are with the family. Michael was my cousin and very well remember the day he was born. I was staying with Allen and Shirley in Warner Robins, Ga. Allen was in the Air Force and I was there staying to help Shirley. One of the greatest times of my life. RIP. We love you

My sincerest condolences to the Osborne family. This is a sad time for all and although I had only known Mike for about a year, it seems that we became friends right away. I will miss Mike. It was my pleasure to be a part of his last birthday in August, as he proudly grilled and served us his awesome barbecued ribs.
Everyone who knew Mike was aware of his love for John Prine and Elton John. So..Elton said it best. Life really is " like a candle in the wind." Rest in peace my friend, the best is yet to come. We love you.❤️

My condolences to the family. Loosing a loved one leaves a open space in your heart. Mike touched each one of our lives in a special way. For me, in particular, I remembered one day a doctor misdiagnosed me as having cancer of the uterus. I drove, crying my eyes out, to Mike's work. He took one look at me and told his boss he needed to leave. We drove home that day, he never left my side comforting me telling me it will be ok. It meant the world to me but, as many of you know that's Mike. At times he was the most caring person. He had a heart of gold. I will miss his "Roll tide" rest in peace Mike you are with the angels now.

My condolence to the family. Mike touched our lives in several ways. I remember one time years ago I had a previous cancer scare. I drove to his work crying and scared. He did not hesitate one minute, he left work and took me home and comforted me the rest of the day. That's Mike. He had a heart of gold. I will miss his "Roll Tide".

Memories.....those are the things that have been flooding down my face since the call on Saturday night, like a movie that keeps turning in my head, of being kids at Aunt Haden's house, then waiting for you when we'd go visit your parents at Avondale Estates, and you'd be off at football practice, to the texts about "Bama". Oh how aggravating! The rival between Georgia and Alabama, but the love between two cousins that began when we were just kids that lasted our whole lives. I hated when you were in California! What was a Southern boy doing in California? I didn't understand, but oh, when you called to tell me that you were coming home! That was a new level of peace and happiness, home where you belonged. It never occurred to me, not once, that shortly after you came home, that God would call you home. Not in our lifetime did I ever imagine that anyone would call to tell me that you were gone. It never once crossed my mind. I was not prepared, Michael. Death cannot take away our memories, nor will it end the love. As you said after our last visit "its like there was never time between us". We'll carry your memory in hearts. Rest in peace my dear cousin and my dear friend. I love you.....Loretta
