I am so sorry to hear of the loss of Mike. I worked with him through the Lawyer for the day program of the CLA. I do not think I ever talked to him when he was not in an upbeat positive mood. He spoke so lovingly of his wife when discussing upcoming weekends or plans. My thoughts and prayers go out to his entire family. The world was a better place for having him in it. I will mourn his loss but smile when thinking of the man he was.

Michael had a unique ability to turn what is mundane and ordinary and make it better, exciting and more interesting. Every experience and conversation was heightened by his infectious personality and I will cherish all the memories we share.
I'd like to share my last memory of Michael as I feel it perfectly depicts his disposition. I had plans with my wife to take a drive and go on a hike on a nice weekend day a while back. Because of COVID our car was moved to a nearby garage and we could not access it that day. This got back to Michael, almost immediately, via a shared friend who saw us walking back to our apartment. Within minutes I was receiving texts from Michael regarding "rights to access one's car", a fair amount of legal jargon I did not understand and asking me what he could do to resolve this situation. I told him that was not necessary after going back and forth for a while. In fact, I was kind of relieved we were not taking an hour and a half drive to go on a half hour hike. Luckily, I was able to de-escalate him - I've seen his determination many times. This was Michael. A loyal and selfless friend who was always there for you no matter the circumstance.
My deepest condolences to Cathleen, the Dyer and Devanney families. My heart is with you.

The tree which we will have planted will be a living symbol of what the World, his wife Cathleen and his family, has lost with the passing of Mike. May he rest in peace.

It was always a great day when I bumped into Mikey. He had a one-of-a-kind, infectious personality and a presence about him…witty, fun loving, extremely bright, and one of the most likable guys out there. A great conversationalist, he could go deep on a lot of topics. With connections to Holy Cross, Uconn and Notre Dame, he was quick to take a jab at my BC Eagles, which always led to a fun back-and-forth.
Mr. and Mrs. Dyer, you raised a great person that had all of his priorities in order, and knowing the amount of people he touched, his memory will live on. Brian and Cathleen, I’m so sorry you lost your best friend and am praying for peace and comfort for the Dyer and Devanney families. Mikey will be missed by an entire community.

Mikey Dyer was one of a kind. I have never known anyone who was always so happy and positive. Whenever you saw him, he had the biggest smile and he just brightened your day. I was lucky enough to meet him at Holy Cross through his roommate Gerard. Although I was two years older than him, we became close friends and spent a lot of time together.
My story is one of many at Holy Cross where Mikey was beloved. He had many friends. It is no wonder why - Mikey was funny, smart, happy all the time, and deeply loyal. All of the things you hope and strive to be. To Mikey, these things came naturally.
Hearing the news of his passing at such a young age was just devastating. I will miss him so much.

To the Dyer and Devanney families,
Mike was always so genuine, friendly, and easygoing - and had an amazing sense of humor. He had an infectious laugh and was absolutely hilarious. I will always remember our conversations about sports, especially football, baseball and the Whalers, and how much of a blast it was to have Mike at the Superbowl parties. I am a better person for having been his friend, and his presence made ECHS a better place. My deepest condolences to Cathleen and your entire family. May you find peace through the many great memories you have.

I met Mikey in the early weeks of freshman year of college. We lived in the same dorm, one floor apart, and quickly became part of the same group of friends. Because we were both Sociology majors we also shared a number of classes together throughout our time at Holy Cross. I can remember getting frustrated early on because he often waited until the last minute to start his assignments and usually did better than me on them.
Mikey had a knack for coming up with nicknames and bestowing them upon our friends. He called me "OK" (a shorthand for part of my AIM screen name, a now dated concept) and said it - always - in an extremely deep baritone voice, drawing out each syllable: "Ohhhhh Kayyyyy"
To know Mikey was to know his distinct and contagious laugh. It's hard to describe but if you've met him you know it. I can hear it now, along with that drawn out OK nickname. Thinking of those things makes me smile to myself. I'm grateful to have known him and to have shared so many years of laughing with him.

It is with great sadness that I heard of the passing of Michael! I fondly remember him as the goalie of the East Catholic Soccer team and one not big in size but with a big heart. Who will ever forget that wide smile seen often in school, on the soccer field, and even at the gas station when I saw him a few months ago. My sympathy and prayers are with both families at this most difficult time!
God bless,

I had the pleasure of knowing Mike while he and I were students at Holy Cross. Mike was the epitome of kindness, a fun guy with a big smile who saw the best in life. I have always been "too polite," erring on formality at the expense of being friendly; Mike was the perfect guy to make me feel welcome and one of the guys despite this. Mike was always the nicest man one could imagine, the first one to embrace a new guy in a social situation. He made me feel welcome from the first time I met him, smiling, laughing, and clearly working hard to make me feel included. I will never forget that his immediate instincts were always positive, never negative. He was very well-liked by all because he did so much to make everyone smile. Mike was the guy who gave me my college sobriquet of RMJ. When I think back on my happiest times at Holy Cross, they were often the parties I attended with him. The world has lost someone who made it a much better place.
