Condolence From: Dalia Ackner
Condolence: When Michael joined our team at Adobe several years ago, he came in highly recommended by peers and managers from previous projects. Michael lived up to these expectations and exceeded them. A trusted employee, who contributed above and beyond his assigned work, Michael’s positive and can-do attitude and high level of energy inspired the rest of the team. Michael was a great engineer and a wonderful team player, who clearly enjoyed what he was doing. And whenever his family and his kids came up in conversation in some of our weekly one-on-one meetings, I could tell he was lighting up, even over the phone. Michael will be remembered for a long time here at Adobe. And he will be greatly missed. My condolences to the family for this great loss. My thoughts and prayers are with you at this difficult time.

Condolence From: Margaret Lem
Condolence: I just returned from my one week personal time off. As I was catching up on my emails, I could not believe what I saw. Michael and I had email exchanged (listed below) this past Monday 4/16, when he had just returned from his personal time off and I starting mine. Michael knew there is job change for me at work and was thoughtfully asking if there was any news on my front.

Condolence: Michael was one of the first people we met in Texas when we moved here last year and we connected with the O'Rourke family right away.

Our hearts and prayers go out to the his family to find peace and comfort.

Condolence From: Shawn Gaither
Condolence: Michael, I will miss your uplifting spirit and never-ending energy. I have worked with many people over the years, but few could ever match your intensity and ability to just get things done. The days of the Capture team were by far the best I ever had at Adobe and you were a big part of that. Know that you touched many people at Adobe and that we are all better people because of you. We will all carry a piece of you in our hearts.

Condolence From: Joe Nolan
Condolence: Such a loss. It was always a pleasure collaborating with Michael during the 15 years we worked together at Adobe. Michael's work ethic, positive attitude and general good cheer made him an exemplary co-worker and friend to many. May I be wise enough to carry forward some of that positive energy that I now realize Michael was generously gifting to us over the years.
