Michael Anthony Smallwood Starks

Jason, I am so sorry to hear about the death of your brother. You and your mom have been so wonderful to our family. Just a year ago your actions brought my family so much comfort. My heart just breaks for you right now. Please know you are in my prayers. God Bless You, Becky Robinson & Brent Hansen

Georgie/Jason/Mom/Dad and the sisters.....This isn't supposed to happen to good kids with a plan - I wish it would have rather been me, I have no plan! Micheal was born to help others, maybe it's our turn now. We miss you Micheal.

I am so sorry for your loss. I know how much you loved being an older brother to him. My heart goes out to you and your family.

Jason/Shaneh/Family No words could describe how sorry we are to hear about your loss. Knowing you (Jason) I feel like I knew Michael too. Our thoughts and prayers are with you. May the love of those around you help you through the days ahead. "Perhaps they are not the stars, but rather openings in heaven where the love of our lost ones pours through and shines down upon us to let us know they are happy." Peace, prayers and blessings.

I wish to offer my prayers and love to your family at this time. I wish I could attend one of the services to offer my condolences in person, but it will not be possible. So please, all of you know, especially Jason, Kelly, George Jr, George and Jane, that you are in my heart and prayers constantly at this time. May God and his angels be especially close to you at this time. Veronica Brand

Jason and family, My heart goes out to all of you. Michael was a great kid! I am blessed to have been able to teach him. I always enjoyed his presence in my classroom. I am praying for all of you!!! God Bless, Joan Brand- Jensen

I have gotten to know Michael very well the last 5 months at USU. He had this presence whenever he walked into the room. He could always make you laugh and smile. He loved his family so much, and was proud of his shield tattoo and being a "Starks." The pain that is rushing through my body is undescribable. I knew of his dreams to become a firefighter, or work in his family funeral home. He had so much ambition and brought so much beauty into this world. There will always be a void in my life. I wish I told him about how amazing he was, and how much he was loved. I have never met anyone like Michael. I am proud to have known him and I am grateful to have had him as a dear friend. There are so many things I want to say to your family, and I have so many memories with Michael that I would like to share.... But as we all know he was an amazing person and had so much love for everything he did. I am truly sorry for your loss. I will always love and miss Michael. He will be in my thoughts and prayers always. I hope your family will be able to find closure and peace in the coming days.

Jason and Shayneh, We are very sorry to hear of your great loss. We wish somehow we could be as comforting to you in this difficult time as you were to our family just two weeks ago. Our thoughts are with you. Love, Mike and Sharra

Dearest Georgie, Jason, Shayneh and Your Wonderful Family, I love each of you and I am thinking of you now. I wish each of you peace and I hope you move gently through your grief. Many, many friends, including me, are here for all of you. With deep love and care, Marc

Jason- I'm so sorry for your loss. I just wanted you to know you are always in my prayers. God Bless you and your family, "Bree" Sabrina

Megan and Family I'm very sorry to hear about Michael, I still remember him being a little kid and getting teased by his big sister. Stay strong, he was a very happy and loveable person. We're here for you if you need us. Liz and friends

Starks family, We are so sorry to hear about the loss of Michael. We are dear friends of Megan and Ryan, and our hearts are breaking for all of you. It's clear Michael was a very special young man who was devoted to his family and who was dearly loved by all. There are so many friends praying for all of you during this very difficult time. You are in our thoughts.

I am so very sorry for your loss. I was shocked to hear about Michael's death. I got to know Michael as an adult leader of his Scout troop for several years. I was always impressed by his infectious good humor and positive outlook. He will be greatly missed. My thoughts and prayers are with you. John

I can't say how sorry I feel for the family. My heart goes out to you. Mike was always such a good guy to me. Just Monday I told him how sharp he was dressed, while my dog continued to chew on his freshly shined shoes. I feel for his brothers who from what I saw were closer to him than words can describe.

Jason, There are no words that will make the pain any lighter...I wish there were. You and George were so tremendous when my brother passed. You personally stepped up to make sure that he was cared for, that the process was going to be taken care of... I only hope that you would call on me for I would feel grateful to return the same considerations that you showed my family and myself. All my love, Kenni and family

Dear George,Jason and Shaneh and familey Our prayers are with you all. You guys were really great with our loss of our son Micahel which was also to young to leave us. But know they are in great hands. Your Freinds Phillip and Ruby Martinez amd family.

Starks Family, I am so sorry to hear of Michael's tragic death. I know I speak for many when I say he will be sorely missed. I had the pleasure of working with Michael at Ruth's Diner over the past summer. He was a fabulous busser and a joy to be around. You knew that if you were working a shift with Michael, you would undoubtedly have an eventful evening. We spent many shifts telling stories, playing practical jokes on each other, dancing, and laughing until we cried. Even now, I laugh out loud thinking about some of the dance moves Michael came up with. He was quite the entertainer. And he was first in line if you ever needed a hug. It was certainly not his time. I know with death there is never any closure to be reached, nor any resolution to grief, but I hope your family finds some comfort in knowing the indelible mark Michael left on all those who knew him.

I am sorry for the loss of Michael, he was a remarkable person and will be missed by everyone who ever had the pleasure of knowing him. We love you Michael!

Dear Starks Family: We are heartbroken over the loss of Michael. Your family has been so wonderful to ours. You are in our prayers. Shannon and Michael Lee

Shayneh & Jason,

Shayneh & Jason, We are so sorry for your loss. Please know that you are in our thoughts and prayers.

Jason and Shayneh, I am so sorry for your loss. While I didn't know Michael, it sounds like he was a very special young man. I pray that the comfort and care you've provided to so many, now finds its way back to you.

Dear Starks Family, I am so sad for your loss of such a wonderful son, brother and friend. For the short time we had known Michael we were very impressed on his humility, kindness and generosity. "We make a living by what we get, we make a life by what we give" Sir Winston Churchill (1874 - 1965) Much love and respect, Greg and Rosie

I went to school with Jason at Judge and was shocked to hear of your familiy's loss. I didn't know Michael, but the tremendous words I've read clearly show that he was a really great person. Your family is in my prayers and I'll continue to pray that the many memories you have of Michael will keep him with you always. God bless. I am truly so sorry for your loss

Jason, I would like to offer prayers of peace and comfort from my family to yours at such a hard time. What a difficult cross you and your family have to bear. I know Michael was loved greatly, and with that love he will remain close to you always. Gods Peace, and Love Jeff perrick Midvale, Ut

George jr. and Family, Your family has been an example in love and service. Michael touched many peoples lives... following in your footsteps.

Dear Jason, Shayneh & the entire Starks family, We were so saddened to learn of Michael's passing. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and the family in this difficult time. God bless,

I didn't even know Michael but have been following his story of the TV since I've been in SLC. I live in Birmingham, Al, and came here for the illness and death of my only brother. I can only say that I am so sorry for your loss. Michael sounded like a wonderful person, and I know he will always be with you and others who loved him in spirit. God Bless You and Your Family, Victoria

May you find confort in knowing your brother was loved so much by so many. Our Love and Prayers go out to you and your family. Ken and Kea Jewell

Dear Starks family, We are so very sorry for the tragic loss of your precious son Michael. Words can not even begin to express how horrific the loss of a child is. We are members of the Judge community and also members of a very exclusive club that no one ever wants to join. Our son Josh passed away two years ago. Not a day goes by that we don't think of and miss him. One thing that we can promise you is that as the days pass the intensity of your pain will begin to soften. While we never get over the death of a child, somehow we learn to live with it. Hold onto your faith with everything that you've got. Let God and those around you carry you through these very difficult days. Know that there are many of us who have gone down this path ahead of you who hold you in our thoughts and in our prayers. May his memory be eternal! Layne and Sandra Kresser

Jason & Shayneh, We want to express our sympathy on the passing of your brother. The comfort and kindness that you both extended to our family when we were dealing with our loss will forever be remembered. May God's peace be with you all.

Shayneh, Jason and the entire Starks Family, I was so very saddened to hear of your brothers passing. I can't even begin to imagine what that must be like for your family. I give you all my good thoughts and prayers and hope that there can be some resolution to this. I had only met Mike once but in that brief meeting, I could feel his love for life and family, the excitement of graduating and his search for a car. His smile was contagious and I found myself smiling when he was. I know in my heart you will see Mike again and your family will once again be whole. Please take care of each other during this time and let me know if there is anything I can do for your family. Sincerely, Heather

Our deepest sympathy. David, Bonnie and John Bennett

George, In God's eyes we are all family. My heart breaks for your and your family's loss. I pray in my heart you will feel the overwhelming comfort of God's love for you at this time. Just as you comforted me with beautiful words in my time of loss I want you to know I'm here in yours. Love, Andrea and Lucas

Mr. & Mrs. Starks, It was an honor to teach your son. Michael was a man of strong faith and commitment to the service of others. Although his life was too short, his mission of goodness is everlasting. He changed the heart and lives of all who knew him. May God's healing grace be with you in this time of great sorrow. Kandie Brinkman

Jason, I am so sorry for you loss. You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.

George, I am so sorry for your loss, I will keep you and your family in my thoughts and prayers. May God be with you! Major Andrea Van Leeuwen

To The Starks family. Our hearts broke when we heard about Michael.No words can say,only prayers for you. You have been so kind to our family and now Michael is with God blessing us all. The Catrows

Jason, Wishing you and your family our deepest condolences in your time of sorrow.

To the Starks Family, Chris and I are truly so sorry for your loss. Michael frequently visited us and so we had an opportunity to really get to know him. We saw a genuine, smart, kind hearted and wonderful young man in Michael and we are going to truly miss him. Chris really enjoyed helping Mike work on his beetle and I, of course, enjoyed being able to capture his spirit in his senior photos. Our prayers and thoughts are with you in this difficult time.

Jason & Shayneh, I was so sorry to hear of your loss. Your family was so kind and thoughtful with our family and others at our time of loss, I hope that comfort is there for your family also.Just wanted to let you know our thoughts are with you. Words just are never enough. Doug & Mindy Downey

Shayneh and Jason I will always remeber that sweet, chubby cheeked litle boy we took to the zoo, he idolized you both! What a great kid! And a great family... I am sorry beyond words. My heart aches for the loss I know you are working through. Please let your family know my prayers and thoughts are with you. If only the love surrounding you and yours right now were enough. Please let me know whatever it is that I can do. Just know that I love you and admire the love and the closeness your family shares. Jenny

George and Jason, Love to all of your family, Peter

To the entire Starks Family, My heart aches for you. I want you to know that I am with you in spirit at every moment. Each of us who have children who are Mike's age fear for them every day. There is nothing that I can say to make the pain better. I pray that you will cherish your memories as you celebrate his life and your family. Remember, "Death is not the end, it is putting out the candle because the dawn has come." Hugh B. Brown I am here if you need to talk.

Jason & Shayneh, I am so sorry for your loss. You are such wonderful people & I pray for God to wrap you in His arms. As soon as my Dad told me of your tragic loss I offerd a Rosary for your family at the Newman Center on Campus. I will continue to pray for healing and peace in you life. "You'll be consoled, if you unite your pain to the pains of the holy Virgin who lost her son & your tears of those of Jesus when he wept over the tomb of Lazarus" Saint Therese of Lisieux

George and Jane and family. We are stunned and unbelievably saddened by your loss. You are all in our prayers and thoughts and will remain so. Love, Frank and Kathleen Leonard

Megan and Family, We are so sorry to hear about Michael. I only met him once or twice, but he was an amazing young man and he will be missed. Please know that Forrest and I are sending you our love. Always, Tiffany and Forrest

Starks Family, I am so unbelievably saddened for your loss. As a friend of Megan and Ryan I've had the fortunate opportunity to get to know your extraordinary family--a family whose love and connection to one another is vast and deep. I can only imagine how difficult this time is for you all. My heart and thoughts go out to you, Megan, and your entire family.

Jason, Georgie, Jane & George, Mary, Megan, Kelly, Shayneh & Ryan, Michael and I not only shared the same birthday, June 12th; we also shared laughter and bright conversation during happenstance encounters around town. I watched Michael grow from a promising young boy into a stunningly enthusiastic young man! I share profound sadness and devastation with you. Utter shock and pain. I pray for healing and peace, states of being inspired by Michael's soothing soul and warm personality. Condolences from my temporary Pennsylvania local at mom and dad's house. Dante

Dear Starks Family, You are in our hearts as you grieve the loss of Michael. Although we cannot begin to know your pain, we want to reach out and offer our support in anyway we can. We are thinking of you adn sending our love and support. Lots of love to you Megan, and to your entire family. Love, Gena & Sal

Jason and Shayneh, I am so very sorry for the loss of your brother. My heart aches for you and your family. You helped my family so much last year with all the support you offered us during that very sad time - I wish I could do the same for you. Please know that we are all thinking of you and are keeping you in our thoughts and prayers. Chad, Libby, Ireland & Isabelle Crapo, Eve Bertran, Ron Crapo and Hailey Tracy

All Starks Family Members, Having spent much time in Logan this year while preparing for the TOU Marathon I can only pray and cry with you over this loss of God's brave soldier here in Utah. May all his friends and you family members know that he is helping each of you, and each of us who will know about his great loving ways to achieve our own best efforts. In God We Trust, may Michael rest in peace. And may his love be with you all in memory and in deed. God bless you all with your every wish, your every need and your every desire to be with Michael in spirit always. James

I knew Michael briefly because of his love for his VW beetle. I met him when he joined our VW club...Salt City Air Coolers. He was a joy to have around and i wish i had more time to get to know him. My thoughts go out to you all in this time of loss. He will be missed.

Dear Starks Family, I had the honor of teaching Mike while he was a student at Judge Memorial, and it was a pure pleasure to be able to work with him in the classroom. His smile was infectious, and his sense of timing for his witty comments was always impeccable. I will forever remember his laugh, his humility, and his enthusiasm for film. Your family is in my thoughts, and I wish you all much strength.

Megan and the Starks family, Beyond this time of sadness are the loving memories you will have of Michael. Although his physical body has passed, he will forever be in your hearts and memories. Keep him in your lives by rejoicing in these memories. My deepest sympathy to you all.

My thoughts and prayers are with the starks family. I did not know him in this life, but I am sure he will be missed. God bless and be strong.

Jason & Shayneh Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. You all helped us so much when my Dad died and having your friendship means a lot to us. Debbie, Caitlin and Ryan Young (Rimbach)

Dear Starks family - Your family has always been such an inspiration to me. It saddens me that such a great family has had such a loss. My thoughts and prayers are with you!

Jason and Family, My heart and prayers go out to you in this time of despair. Having known you, Jason, I am sure your brother was a wonderful young man full of life and love. I am so sorry for your tragic loss. Chelsie Acosta

Dear Jane-George-Family I am so sorry to hear about Michael's death. May he rest in peace. I have such fond memories of Michael and all the Starks family, and it doesn't seem possible. In times such as these I find great consolation in the words of Julian of Norwich: "All shall be well, all shall be well, all manner of things shall be well." Julian's words do not take the pain away, but they express our fundamental hope. Love and prayers, Owen

Starks Family, I cannot even begin to imagine what you are going through. I just wanted to send you my love and condolences. I too had the opportunity to work up at Ruth's Diner with Michael over the past summer. He was such a wonderful loving and fun person. I was always excited when I would come to work and see him there because that always meant that we were going to have the best time at work today. He was an amazing friend outside of work as well, he helped me move with your huge van when I was desperate and I knew I could count on him for anything. Especially for having the coolest sunglasses in town! The world is not the same without him. He is very loved and will be missed.

Starks Family, I cannot express the deep sadness I feel. It was an honor to teach Michael. I have so many fond memories of him. I remember his wonder smile, warm presence and open heart. He was a joy to be around. My heart and prayers are with you at this time. Michael will always hold a special place in my heart. May peace find you, Jeanette

Starks Family, Hearing about the passing of Michael has left a whole in my heart. He became an honorary nephew to me when Brian started to hang out with him. Those two were inseparable during the summer when Brian was in town and I cherish every moment I was there to watch him grow into the wonderful, caring, generous young man he was. Mike always brought sunshine with him wherever he went, along with laughter and fond memories. When my brother Doug passed away, Michael and your family were there for my mother and me. I can't even begin to tell you how much that meant to us. I knew that Michael was feeling just as much loss as we were, but because of his compassionate spirit, he made sure that we were taken care of first and foremost. Your family has comforted many people when called upon; treated others as if they were part of your own family. In your time of need, Please know that the Blakley family has your family in our thoughts and prayers

George, I felt such a pain in my heart when I heard about the loss of your son. I am so sorry for your loss. No parent should ever have to experience the loss of a child. Over the years that you and I worked together, I felt that you and I were family, so hearing of this loss hurts my heart at an even deeper level. Please let me know if there is anything I can do. My prayers go out to you and your family.

Kelly, My deepest condolence to you and your family.

Jason & Shaneh Jeff and I are heart sick to learn of the tragic death of your brother. No words can express how sorry we are. Our prayers and thoughts are with you.

Dear Starks Family, My family and I are so very sorry for the loss of your loved one. It is always hard to lose someone, especially such a young person. Jason and Shayneh made our hard time with the passing of my grandmother a bit easier about a month ago. I wish you as much ease as possible at this very difficult time. The whole Starks family is in all of our prayers! Much love to you all, Brooke Diana and all of the extended Diana family

I worked with Michael at Ruth's diner over the summer, and had a lot of fun getting to know him. He and I had a light-hearted vendetta towards one another, and were always goofing around and playing practical jokes on one another. I saw him as a very sweet, kind kid with a great sense of humor, and was always very fond of working with him. I remember when a few members of your family came to the restaurant to eat with Michael. It was plain to see that this was a family with a lot of love and closeness. Losing such a bright, young life as Michael's is unimaginable, and I just wanted to extend my most heartfelt condolences. I am so deeply sorry for your loss.

TO THE ENTIRE STARKS FAMILY , STAFF, & MANAGEMENT, OUR THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS ARE WITH YOU ALWAYS, ESPECIALLY AT THIS MOST TRYING TIME, WE ARE ALL HERE FOR ALL OF YOU , AS YOU WERE HERE FOR US ON THAT DAY THAT CHANGED OUR LIVES FOREVER, MAY GOD BLESS YOU ALL , AND MAY YOU ALL BE COMFORTED BY HIS PRESENCE IN YOUR LIVES, LOVE ALWAYS THE DIANA FAMILY

Dear SLC Starks Family, To Kelly, George, lilttle Georgie, Jane, Jason, Megan and Mary, I'm very sorry for the tragedy regarding Mikey. He was a great boy. I unfortunately was not there to see him growing up but I remember him as a very fine person with unlimited promise.

I'm sorry that we haven't been as close as a family should be, but please be proud for setting an example of how the Starks family could be with love, commitment and care. Love to all of you, John

Starks Family, Our thoughts and prayers are with you as you begin this new journey. I cannot imagine the pain you are all suffering right now. You are a wonderful family and have been there for so many of us. Please let us be there for you now. Kay and Harold

G, I am so sorry to hear of this. I do remember how much Micheal cheered us up at the shop each time he came in. Once you got him talking he was irresistable to converse with. He was always ready to help us out, and never missed a chance to do so. If you need help with anything george, I am just a phone call away. Much Love, Whit

Jane, George, and Family: I was shocked to hear of Michael's death. He was such a special young man. I have loved your family since I met them when I moved into Friendship Manor. Having lost both my husband and my 12 year old cat in the last year I know what you must be going through. May God be you. Jean M. Sixfin

Dear Jane, Father Patrick told me about Michael. I am so sorry. I remember when you were carrying him and decided on his name so his initials would be M.A.S.S. I will ask the Ogden OCDS to pray for him, for you, and your family. In God's Love, Jeanne Sottosanti

Dear Jason and Shayneh, It was almost exactly one year ago that you helped with my dad's funeral, Francis Kearns. You were so loving, empathetic, friendly, sincere, etc. Jason, you driving us at the last minute, on that snowy day, meant the world to us. You made the whole process easier for us, thankfully. And now, I wish so much that I could return the favor. In tears I sit here wishing you both comfort; comfort through your family and through your faith. I pray that you all have someone as special yourselves in your lives to assist you through the process of bereavement. I am so sorry for your loss. Love always, Theresa Kearns

Starks Family, I am so sorry to here about the passing of Michael. I know that he was truly blessed to be with you for the short time he was here. I have so many incredible memories of growing up with Jason and being around the Starks family. You were all very positive influences in my and I always admired the way your family interacted. There will never be a trip through Ogden valley that I will not stop and remember the many trips to the monestary. I met Michael only a couple of times when he was very small but I am sure he was an outstanding person given the family he had as an example. I feel your loss and my heart is with you all. -Alex
