Thank you Tina for your thoughtful comments. I agree that Michael had a choice in his youth – and in his teenage and early adult years he certainly had no role model. Finally, hopefully, he is at peace.

Excellent analysis and perspective Stephanie. I have felt empathy for Michael for years as I grew up “with” him and so wanted to see the youngster we all knew grow into a man we all wanted to see. I read a blog post by Karen Swim (from her Words For Hire blog) discussing Michael and “Personal Branding” and comparing it to dating your audience. She asked the question “Will you casually date or embark on a fiery love affair?” The only problem is, I don’t think Michael had a choice; to start, I am sure he didn’t. I wonder if when he was old enough to make one, it wasn’t already to late to change his mind. My sentiments are the same as his brother, Marlon; hopefully now, finally, he is at peace.
