I've known Michael ever since he was a little boy. I had two little girls and he would come babysit them. They had the most fun with him. He was a good guy. He had a very caring heart & my two girls loved him He made lots of goodies for them when he watched them. I'm not quite sure what they were, but they were sound asleep and very happy by the time I got home. He'd always say, "Oh never mind I don't need the money." I'll just come see you and visit you and the girls again whenever you want. But I'd make him take money or no ride home, lol.
He definitely got his great personality from his wonderful family, the whole big bunch of them. I had a lot of fun with him at the A!nual Fish Fry. Him and I would do taste testing of the alcohol.
He could make me laugh He had me laughing so hard sometimes, I'd have to run to that damn out house. I really loved him. He had such a good smile and he was good with animals and those kidss. His girlfriend is such a loving young girl & very kind. I'm sorry I just heard of this passing. I wondered why I hadn't heard anything back from him cuz he'd talk to me all the time on messenger I'm so sad. I'm sad for your whole family.What a joy it was to get to know him I know he's smiling in a better place I joined to keep him in my heart and remember where the good guy he was He really was a very very good guy I'm very blessed that the Zwiesler family was so kind to introduce me to the Petits That's where he got his good kind heart and personality from everyone in the whole big bunch of family originating from the Zwiesler bunch. Much much love and so many BIG HUGS to each and every one of you MIKE AND TERESA You are extraordinary parents thus, extraordinary children that's a huge blessing May God be with each every one of you I'll be keeping you my prayers and in my heart as always. 82 reach out right now and grab that hug that's coming to you I hope I get to see you tomorrow Please don't be sad I know it's hard but he was so full of life I'm crying but I'm also laughing cuz he would just make me laugh all the time What a great guy and to his fiance you two made a beautiful couple and you're very nice young lady to be so kind to me every time I saw you God bless you sweetie stay tough. I will be praying for you hun.

I knew Mike in high school, he was fun, positive, and energetic. He was a kind soul from the moment I met him. I am sorry for your loss. I ran into Mike a few years ago in quick passing and he hadn’t changed, happy to see you with an infectious smile and wished me and my family well. A true loss but now with our lord and savior.

To all the Petite Family, Our condolences on the loss of your love one. Too young to crossover. May he rest in peace, and his spirit always be with you. Prayers to you all.

I was deeply saddened to learn about the passing of Michael.
I remember Michael from our Highland Park High School days. We went to senior prom together- he was such a kind and joyful soul. A true caballero :)
It’s clear that his presence left a positive impact on everyone fortunate enough to know him. I’m not surprised. :) His warmth, humor, kindness, and vibrant personality made him truly unforgettable.
The last time I saw Michael was at the Mexican Fiesta in Topeka. He was driving away and stopped when he saw me. I asked him if he was mayor of Topeka yet ( I have no idea why I asked that— I guess, trying to be funny.) Michael smiled his wide joyful smile and played along asking if he could count on my vote. :) Of course, Michael. You’ll always have my vote. What a gift to have known him. :)
Sending prayers and love to his family at this difficult time.

Mike and Teresa,
We are so sorry to hear about the loss of your son, Michael. The loss of a child, no matter the age, leaves a void that is unimaginable. May the memories that you hold so close to your hearts, help you through this difficult time and may you find peace in the grace of God.
Keeping you and your family in our thoughts and prayers.

Mike was too cool in school! He was always kind and would do anything for you if you asked. My heart hurts but I also know he is free.
Many hugs and a lot of love being sent.
Rest easy, Mike. You will be missed.

I just want to say how sorry I am for your loss. Mike was ALWAYS so kind, not to mention VERY handsome!! He was a dear friend, and I am truly heartbroken!! May you find comfort in knowing that he is resting peacefully now.

Have fun Mike laughing and playing in heaven and walking those streets of gold.

Mike and Teresa: We were so sorry to learn of Mike's passing. We never got to meet him, but if we was like his parents, he must have been a very likeable person! Please know you are in our thoughts and prayers at this time, and always.
If there is anything we can do to ease this burden, please let us know.
We know that God will not abandon Mike. That promise is true and it holds us together in these difficult times.
God bless and keep you.

We were sad to hear of Mike's passing but touched to see the wonderful tribute to Mike is today's paper. We were privileged to have Mike as a member of our family for a time and always knew him as a loving and nurturing father and all-around nice guy. He will be missed by many but he will never be forgotten by those who know how special he was. Our sincere condolences go out to all his family. Leon & Carol Long

Teresa so sorry to hear of the loss of your son. Prayers to you
~ Louise Radcliff - August 23, 2023
I have the best memories of Michael from Highland Park. We often sat next to each other in classes. He would have me laughing so hard with his shenanigans. For some reason he started calling me Patrick and I called him Michelle. I had often thought about him over the years and our fun times. I send heartfelt condolences to his family and friends. He is gone way too soon and he will be missed. I am grateful to have known him and will never forget him. God bless!!
~ Patricia Pfannenstiel - August 23, 2023

Mr. and Mrs. Pettit and family,
I am shocked to hear of Mike’s passing and so very sorry for your loss.
I can remember playing over at your house and in the backyard in the treehouse numerous times back in elementary school.
He will be missed tremendously.
You have my deepest sympathy,
Elizabeth Speed Simmons

My heart hurts for you all. I wish Michael would have been with you all when I ran across the Pettit/Zwiesler clan at Buffalo Wild Wings, a while ago. Mike was so fun and had such an infectious laugh and personality!! Praying for a sense of peace that only God gives.
Much love to you all,

Mike was my oldest friend, we met in kindergarten. Although I moved around a lot, fate would reunite us on a baseball field. And we immediately remembered each other. He even remembered my middle and original last name. The only friend that had ever and been able too he did. Meant the world to me that he remembered I had, had another identity. When I got my first car from California auto body, I drove over off Wisconsin street picked Mike up we went to white lakes mall. Love to all the Pettits, so sorry for your loss love you guys..
