How will you #LLM and honor him?
Victoria Caro: Um, so for the rest of my life, I will llm and never be embarrassed to spread any extra love. Um an extra hand. I will always be there for somebody to talk to no matter what. Um, Take the extra time to understand their side and never be scared to reach out to somebody and be available as a best friend. Even though people might say, oh Tory might not know them very well or whatever. You know, Michael would always be there. So I will always extend an extra hand no matter what
Lance Christensen : The amazing thing about Micah was that he just found joy and happiness and so many things that he did, and he just really brought so much happiness to people around him because of that. So, for me to live like Micah, I think it's a constant reminder that I need to cherish every single day and live life to the fullest.
Mariana Hughes : Uh, but in my classes, I always have taken for years and years, I've always taken a class picture of each of my groups of students, and Micah was my students. So he's in that picture and I often in my classes as we're talking about whatever, you know, I'll talk about the kids on the wall and, you know, this kid, um, you know, study this or this kid, you know, worried about this or whatever. And um, and definitely Micah's example as a kid on my wall will continue for my students in my classes as someone who was positive, uh, made space for everybody, every type of person um, was welcoming. Uh, he was really kind and he could help everybody else feel at ease and I will continue to um, share his approach to life with my classes so that my students, um, can learn from him. He had a lot to teach all of us. So I will continue to do that and I want to help with the Foundation, whatever I can do to Um, support that effort. I think it's a really important um, thing for our community to have a way to continue to celebrate him and live like Micah. So the Hughes family is behind you. 100 1,000%. We love you.
Savannah Eagle: Like Micah, for the rest of my life, try and be as positive as I possibly can be. That one I think screams in my brain when I think about him, enjoy the little things in life, even if they feel unimportant, because for him every day was a celebration, those two main things to remember.
Zac Bulgin: This one's a no brainer, make people feel welcome wherever I go, because that's what he did, no matter if you were a part of his circle or if you weren't, you felt like you belonged when you're in his presence and that's what I want to go Do. I want to make sure that the people around me feel the way that mike made me feel, and I think it's just really cool that his legacy lives on in so many ways, so it's definitely not just that, but that's probably the one that sticks out most in my mind.
Ricky Tibbett: Always remember Micah as this person who is friendly, outgoing, loving, fun person and then I'll, I feel like that's one way where I could honor Micah and just be more fun and to be more friendly with people and understand people. And I feel like that's one way where I could really honor Micah.
Sadie Eagle: To live like Micah for the rest of my life, um, I want to be the best version of myself and I want to be the best friend I could possibly be because I know that Micah always gave 100% to everyone in his life.
Isabel Hughes: Moving forward and throughout the rest of my life, I will try to live like Micah by being kind, sincerely greeting everyone that's in the room and really showing up for my brother's the best that I can.
Christian Hughes: Um to honor Micah's memory for the rest of my life, I try to treat everyone with kindness and respect the way he did. And I really try to remember that life is precious and I try to live life to the fullest every day.
Bob Hughes: to live like Micah Foundation and and how we're all going to live like Micah is that we're going to pay it forward and we're going to realize that all the little things that we stress about in life mean nothing, and it's all about our relationships, um, and how we treat people and of anybody in this world that I came in contact with, Micah was always the one that treated everybody who came in in touch with, whether it be a total stranger or somebody who knew forever the same manner with a smile with a sense of inclusion and how can I make you laugh?
Tiffany Puckett Bulgin: To live like Micah, to me means to be present where I am all the time, and to make sure people feel more valued and heard and seen. And that has impacted me over the last few months, and I endeavor to continue to honor him by by making people feel heard and valued.
Kelly Christensen : to live like Micah to me just means to be more present for my family, my friends and my coworkers and just be there for them and kind of really be a better listener and yeah, listen more, talk less and just support Ronne and steve and Keeks and everything that they're trying to do for the Foundation, you know, all the different, uh, I don't know things that we're going to do in the future for him and just get some scholarships for kids that just live like Micah did and just kids that are gonna be great recipients for all that comes out of the LLM.
Michele : fill. But I do believe the one thing that I have learned is that he really loved who he was and really was unapologetically him. And so for me it just looks like to, not to live unapologetically me and to live out loud and to love hard and to live like I don't have tomorrow and to be inclusive and to realize that we only have one life to live and I want my life to be remembered and much like how Micah and just even a portion and um, so definitely live my life full of love, gratitude and um, I wanna have fun. Yeah,
Suzy and Ron Kara: I think one of the best ways we can honor Micah 's memory is and carry on. LlM is to lead with kindness. Lead with an open heart, lend a helping hand wherever you can. A little bit goes a long way. You never know who you're talking to when you're speaking to someone. Always lead with kindness, openness, and honesty. And first and foremost, foremost, love.
Salma & Cloe: Live like Micah every day by constantly checking up on one another, because that's exactly what he would do to all of us.
Jake Carreon: I'd say the way that I would want to carry on Micah's legacy every day is just making sure that all my friends have exactly what they need and I will always have their backs.
Robby Hughes: I think the best way to live by live like Micah is to just be present and be appreciative of everything you have. Um, one thing that I always admired about Micah is that, um, he was stretched so thin with work And driving to and from Orange County, but every weekend, I mean he would drive all the way down, he would go see his family, he'd make time for his to call his grandparents every day and be on the phone with him. He'd be sitting on her couch, 20 minute phone call during Sunday football or something. He would never complain about it and he would always just be present and be around and be there for everybody who needed him. And um, I think that's something that we should all try and try and replicate in a way. I mean no one's gonna be able to live
Casey schmitt : Um, just to always constantly think of him think of how he would approach situations. I know he's he's with us all and you know, it's live like Micah and I try to do that every day. I try to have fun with everything I do every day and you know, it's he's definitely uh, definitely with us.
Lee and Brook Price: Hi again. Um so we're thinking about what Micah did, that we would like to emulate and live like Micah that will help us out and I don't even know if I can do it, but he always had that way of making everyone around him feel extremely special and everything he was doing at that time was the best
