One said, in part, "I just want to say Micah was one of the hardest working and most humble people I have ever met."
Another co-worker said, "There are not enough words to describe who Micah was. He was always such a positive light - always laughing, smiling, and joking. I’ll miss seeing him at work and it truly won’t be the same without him there. He was the type of person that could make you smile no matter what type of day you were having."
Authorities are asking anyone with information to call the Crime Line at 1-888-LOCK-U-UP.
