I have nothing but fond memories of Michael. He was the brother-in-law most like me. When I saw Mike, I saw me.
Cancer does not discriminate. I know it wore down his body. I know it exhausted his strength. And I know it took him many years too soon. But cancer couldn’t take his smile. And what a smile it was. Everything good, everything wholesome, everything pure about childhood was found in his smile. But there was more—a hint of mischief, a sense of self-confidence, an unmistakable kindness. It was the kind of smile that drew people to him.That smile was there the first time I saw Mike. And it was still there the last time I saw him. The ravages of cancer, radiation, and medication could not wipe it from his face. If anything, Mike’s smile was brighter and more joyous the last time I saw him. Cancer was helpless against it.
Cancer couldn’t steal Mike’s popularity. To know him was to love him and to root for him. We should all be so lucky to have as many friends as Michael Verderame did. He touched more people in his short time on earth than most of us could in 100 years. From his doctors and nurses to his family, friends and coworkers, no one entered Mike’s orbit without being inspired by him. Cancer was utterly helpless to interfere.
Cancer was unable to break Mike’s spirit. His zest for life and competitive fire burned brightly to the end. His confidence and adventurousness were undimmed. He took everything cancer could throw at him and kept going. He endured what would have hobbled the toughest adult. He found energy in the face of draining treatments. He maintained a positive outlook in the bleakest of situations. Where was cancer’s victory in that?
Cancer couldn’t steal his fatherhood. It had no chance to break the bond of love he had for his wife Korri. Cancer never had a chance. Mike was an amazing Dad, a wonderful husband, a great brother-in-law, and also my friend. A friend who I will miss immensely. He had a special bond with my daughter Vanessa. “Vanessa’s my favorite!” he would always tease, while loving all his nieces and nephews.
Cancer ripped a hole in the lives of everyone who loved Mike Verderame. Cancer left us devastated and heartsick. Cancer robbed the world of someone who would have done great things—someone who would have made a difference.
Mike and his family lived by these words the past year: Anyone can give up. It’s the easiest thing in the world to do. But to hold it together when everyone else would understand if you fell apart, that’s true strength.
If only the world had more people like Mike. Be like Mike.
Cancer did not beat Michael Verderame. It never stood a chance.

So sorry to hear about Michael"Vert". He was a great person and friend. I have many memories of Vert from our Salve days. One that I will always remember is if you didn't see Vert out on a weekend you would always see him at Sunday evening mass with his buddies Tom Misto and John Fitzgerald. He never missed church.Keeoing all his loved ones in my prayers
