My 2 Michaels...Mike Ciervo & Michael Bakken....They even looked a bit alike. Mike B. Was my son Michael’s BFF, soul mate and kindred spirit. For 20 years Mike B was a fixture in the Ciervo/Parker circle of family And his amazing spirit infiltrated into all aspects of Michael’s and April’s lives. Michael Bakken was well loved, liked and revered for his ballsyness. Yesterday Mike B had a massive heart attack at his job and passed on to a new realm and hopefully new cosmic adventures. Garland L Parker and I loved you Michael B and will miss you in so many ways for a very long time. And you have left a large gap in so many lives that can never be filled. Rest well and may you continue to explore your perfectly stealthy moves in heaven....and most of all I hope you find the peace that you deserve. 🌠💕🌠💕🌠⚘

Happy new years everyone. I enjoyed ringing it in with my girl Miley Cyrus. This year and every after is going to be missing a great dude, Michael Bakken. A great guy taken too early. I’m sure he would be making fun of me for something right now, for good reason. I miss the fuck out of you already bro, can’t wait until our next chill. Truly punk until you die brotha, see you when i see ya 🤙❤

Conversations with Mike were always thought provoking. He spoke passionately with eloquence and wit that is unrivaled. My memories of singing our favorite songs at the tops of our lungs will last forever. Rest In Peace, Mike.

My son Mike Ciervo’s closet friend and confidante.... He was handsome,funny smart and stylish... and he can never be replicated He was a generous soul with a tender heart. Please consider making a donation to Saint Judes Children’s Hospital. The kindness of your gesture will please him wherever he is and the skies will brighten with his wonderful smile. He was and ever will be my other Michael 💕⚘💕🌠💕🌠

The warehouse guy that stole my heart. Kinda had to talk you into dating me, but I’m glad you caved. I will never forget the time we spent together and the laughs we shared with the girls. They idolized you and your humor. Thank you for being a father figure to them and making sure they were always protected and happy. We loved snuggling up with you to watch AEW.. and thankfully nothing got broken with all of the excitement. I am going to miss your face. Even though we didn’t work out as a couple I was thankful I still got to see you at work. Rest easy handsome.. much love from us three girls ❤

Wow! 🥺 I just learned of my client Michael Bakken passing! It really hits hard when a client passes. Mike was my extremely loyal every 4 week client, on Saturday mornings bright & early at 8am for the last 8/9 years! He never missed an appointment with me and it was very important for him to be ON TIME to our appointment! Mike would always be there, with his beautiful leather jackets, he loved so much and his band tee’s! I love that he had such a sense of style, it was very important to him! Seeing Mike was like seeing family! The conversations were endless & we watched each other grow & mature! I will miss our appointments, you were far too young! 🖤

It’s been years since we’ve talked but you were always such a huge part of any band I was in and a staple—always riding with Mike Ciervo to our shows; always coming out to support, rocking out like crazy and having the most enthusiastic conversations. You were such a good dude, full of energy and full of life. I’ll miss you, Michael Bakken. RIP 😔💔

Michael Bakken what to say about you besides I will miss you. *Insert lots of vulgar languages* rest easy boy. 🤟

There was a time when you were the only person that really understood me, I’ll be forever grateful for your friendship. ❤️🦔

I had the pleasure to work with Michael for the last 13 years. He was great guy. So tragic, he will be sorely missed. Always enjoyed our conversations. He was an incredibly loyal and hard worker. RIP Mike...
