A reception will follow at Knights of Columbus Hall, 923 19th Pl, Vero Beach, FL.

Mike was a great man indeed. Played golf with him often. Never ever did I beat him. My best to Char, Nan and Luke.

For Mike, the Sun and Moon have been replaced
With the light of Jesus’ face.
He won’t have to be ashamed
Because the savior knows his name.
May all our tears be washed away.

You are so missed, my Friend.
Families of Sharon Seldner
And son, Sam, Corporal Jorgenson, US Army, with whom Mike was so generous with his knowledge about available aircraft careers in the private sector.

I’m sorry for your loss Nan and family. Sending healing prayers and hugs.

Mike was a friend and a good man. From personal conversations, I know he loved his family and his country. He was a devout catholic. He was also an avid, accomplished, and super competitive golfer. May he rest in peace.

Our deepest condolences for the loss of your father. You are in our thoughts and prayers during this difficult time.

With love and support,
Todd and Jenifer Bishop

Mike was a blazing success as fighter pilot.as
human being and friend. In my many years as pilot I can say I never flew with any better. Our world is the lesser on his passing.

With deepest sympathy to Char and the family in their loss. May God comfort you and give you peace. With love.

I enjoyed every on of our many conversations over the years and always had great respect for Mike, and everything he stood for

May our good Lord welcome Mike into paradise

When I reflect on Mike’s strong religious faith, love for his wife and family, and military flying career what comes to mind is a poem written by John Gillespie Magee Jr titled: “HIGH FLIGHT”
The first and last passage of this poem seem appropriate in representing Mike’s life that begins with:

“Oh, I have slipped the surly bonds of earth and climbed the skies on laughter-silvered wings,”
The poem ends with:
“And, while with silent lifting mind, I’ve trod the high untresspassed sanctity of space, put out my hand, and touched the face of God”

Rest in Peace my friend and may God be with you.

Dear Nan,

So sorry you have lost your Dad.

Thoughts and Prayers!

You were a best buddy at the Rock, High school. Turns out you are
MY HERO in every way. God Bless You .

Mike Bever-we’ll miss you. You embodied the values we were taught.

Char and Family,
I know that you are all feeling a tremendous loss with Mike’s passing. As Christians we believe that he is in a better place and is waiting for us. As I think you know, Mike had a significant impact on my life beginning when I was 16 years old. I admired him and his attitude about so many things. It was because of him that I became a Navy Pilot and I think it always bothered him that we landed on Aircraft Carriers and Air Force Pilots landed on 10,000′ runways. He often told me that he could land on Carriers too if his aircraft had tailhooks. He was funny, honest, witty, wordy, committed, kind but not mushy, athletic, personable, loyal, religious and he was to me one of my oldest and dearest friends. I miss him.
