To the Griffan family,
I am so deeply sorry for your loss. Mike was truly one of a kind—caring, loving, and always such a joy to be around. I never once heard him speak a bad word about anyone.
The love he had for his family shone so clearly in his eyes whenever he spoke about you all. It was impossible not to feel it. Mike had a wonderful love for life and lived it to the fullest, especially on the dance floor. Watching him dance Clare sets at the Doonbeg Social Club was something special—full of laughter, energy, and pure happiness.
He will be remembered for his warmth, his fun-loving spirit, and the love he shared so freely. May…
RIP Michael , Condolences to all the Griffin and Dillon families

I will miss my godfather, both baptismally and literally. He was "the man" and reminded me of my late father. That generation will never be duplicated. We stand on the shoulders of familial giants. May he rest in peace and may his extended family rejoice in a life well lived. Peace to all
Sincere sympathy to the Griffin family on the death of Michael
May he rest in peace
