Mike was someone who could always be counted on. Mike helped because he saw things needed to be done. I remember, as a neighbor, Mike coming to my aid when trees head fallen or when I screwed up a DIY project. I could always count on Mike. I miss him already.

Janet is my Cousin whom we lost touch with each other over the years! Her Dad & my Mom were Brother & Sister! So very shocked to hear of the passing of Mike. Our condolences to the family.

I’m at a loss for words. My condolences to his loving family. Mike took a chance many years ago and gave me a job knowing I knew nothing of home remodelling and turned me into a handyman.First day on the job he gave me a can of paint for the wall and one for the ceiling and of course I switched them up and all he could do is laugh telling me it’s ok. Such an awesome employer and even better neighbor. I will always be grateful for that chance it changed my life. I will miss your jokes and smiling face when I would ride by your home looking to see what project you were working on. Rest in heaven

I remember Mike as being the outgoing person who loved to talk and loved on all his family. I loved his jokes regardless of how corny but hey I love corny jokes. He will truly be missed. He was truly a beautiful soul here in this earth. My condolences to the Donnelly family love u all

I am totally shocked by Mike’s passing. I could always count on seeing him outside (whether it was cutting grass, washing their cars, being with family, driving his car, doing projects around the house, etc.); it seemed like he loved being outside. He was truly a good neighbor, as he always gave us a helping hand with anything that we needed. His presence will be missed. Our deepest condolences and sympathy to Janet, Alycia Marie, Michael Sean and the grandchildren.

Mike has been such a great neighbor to us in Princeton Chase. He’s always ready to lend a hose, or a ladder, help us put up a dogline, whatever! He is the consummate neighbor. Just in the last couple months he designed a beautiful wooden sign that he volunteered to build and put up at the entrance to our neighborhood, that would serve as a a beautiful, permanent “bulletin board”, so neighbors could see what community events were happening, neighborhood news, etc. He even had a professional drawing of it made! In honor of Mike, we’re going to have that sign built and erected. Don’t know how yet, but we all agreed. We’re also going to put up a plaque on the sign, so we all remember our great neighbor and friend, Mike Donnelly.

I am not sure I have ever seen a father’s loving heart twinkle in his eyes and smile – both full of love, admiration and pride – as I have the times I’ve been around Mike and his daughter, Alycia. The stories of him and his love and respect for his family were almost as good. These include the delicate way he helped his new son-in-law discover that the outlet in the garage wasn’t working because a light switch simply needed to be flipped, after George led him on a version of a goose hunt to diagnose the problem (my details might be blurry). He seemed to have a special gift to lift others up in a real way even in hard moments when shame and doubt could creep in. Mike is a rare person that helps us all work to be better at seeing and connecting with all fellow humans around us. Janet, Alycia, Mike, George, Katie, Jake, Owen, Bailey and Allie, I am so sorry that he is gone. I know he didn’t want to leave you all so soon. We all wrap you in love and warmth as you work through this hard time and hard new normal ahead. We are glad you all had the experience of him and his love for you in your lives and are sad you are without him going forward. Warm, loving hugs.

I still can’t quite believe Mike is gone. I haven’t seen him in a month in a half because of working from home. We worked together pretty much every day for at least 10 or 11 years. He was a blur, always moving. Unless he was checking the weather, or looking at cars. You didn’t go looking for Mike because he would catch you before you caught him. Stand still, he’ll be zooming by any second now. Mike cared about all the people in his life. He asked about your family and he really wanted to know. I think that’s because he was so proud of his family and so devoted. Mike was a company man, but first and foremost he was a family man. He had a great laugh, too. Every Friday I would tell Mike as soon as I saw him “Hey Mike, you’re the greatest” He would cuss and tell me I was full of it. I meant it though. I keep expecting if I just stand still he come zooming by any second. Rest well Mike, you earned it.
