Obituary of Michael Jay Briggs

"You tread lightly upon this Earth, never wanting to leave a mark At home with the wonders of engineering, physics, and science In awe of nature's beauty even in the creepiest of insects Reveling in the vastness of the universe and the infinite Always looking to preserve a future for the next generation Your heart was reflected in how you lived your daily life The friends you made, the problems you solved, the love you shared As you take your place with the stars in heaven Let it be know, you did leave a mark on those that loved you You will be missed, Husband, Father, Brother, Son, Friend. Raymond E. Briggs, Jr."
