Micah Ryan Strong - Online Memorial Website

When Micah was about 2 or 3 we had a pond behind our house. Each day he would sit in front of the back door and look at the pond as he would eat his afternoon snack. One day I asked what he was thinking about. He looked up at me and asked if there were fish in the pond. I told him I didn't know but I thought there were. He sat there for a moment and kept eating. The next day Micah asked if we could have a picnic by the pond. I made some snacks, took his hand and we walked to the pond. He smiled and was happy. Micah then asked if we could feed the fish. Boog what are we gonna feed them? I asked. He looked at me with the biggest smile and said. We can feed them my teddy grams. So we walked around the pond throwing teddy grams to the fish.

Micah... I followed his class all day... He knew how to make smile. "Hi, Mrs. Mills" and "Have a Good Evening" at the end of my day!!! He was so Repectful with "Yes Ma'am, Thank You and can I do that for you!" I always told him that he was the brightest star in my room. We had our moments but I enjoyed every minute talking to him. When he needed help with his work, would come and ask me could he sit back at the table with me! He always rised his hand like he was taught and never backed down!

His favorite word in class was "EPIC" and since his passing, I have been hearing that word on TV or in other peoples conversations. I know he is with God because I asked for him to give me a sign and I have received my sign. I will Truly Miss Micah, he was my Bright and Shining Star!!! May you Rest in Heaven Micah Strong for I will see you again.

I remember when your mother and I started dating. It was a tough time in my life. Somehow you would find a way to make me smile. You would ask if I needed a hug, although I did and you knew it, I would say no. You would turn it around and say you needed a hug. You knew nobody could say no, you always knew how to get them helpful hugs in there. I have very few proud moments in my life, my three other children, your mother, and you becoming my son are the top four. The day you asked if you could call me daddy, I wanted to cry. I was very proud that you would want me to be your dad. I can remember when your mother told me one day that you got suspended from school for fighting. It seemed odd that she wasn't really mad and was laughing about it. She told me that a boy had told you that your dad can't be white, so you hit him. Well it was hard for me to be mad since I got into a fight in high school because a kid tried to tell me that my dad wasn't black. Well, I guess we showed them.lol. I just want to thank you for the time you gave me. It may have been short but, you made it feel like I was there from the beginning. You will ALWAYS be in my heart and my thoughts.I love you

LOVE ALWAYS,
Daddy 

I REMEBER WHEN WE WAS IN FOURTH GRADE WE BECAME FRIENDS. I ALSO REMEBER WHEN HE FRIST CAME TO EMMA DONNAN HE WAS SUPRISED WHEN HE SAW ME. AND I REMEMBER IN MATH CLASS ONE DAY HE SAID HE WAS EPIC. I ALSO REMEMBER WHEN HE TOLD OUR FRIEND DESRIEE HE WAS GOING TO BUILD A CLAY CAR THAT WAS RED THIS SUMMER HE WAS SO EXCITE.

 I LOVE YOU BEST FRIEND FOR EVER. YOU WILL NEVER BE FORGOTTEN

Whenever I saw Micah in the hallways, he would always say "Hello, Dr. Stollar." He knew how to make someone feel good about themselves. Micah was always happy and friendly to everyone in the school. He worked hard as a students and encouraged others to do their very best. Micah will be missed tremendously at Emma Donnan Middle School. He was a shining star.
