Michael Allen Boyle. Twenty two years of age. Born in Lebanon, Oregon and grown in Reno, Nevada. We, friends and family, share a fragment of our thoughts and love for an extraordinary man.
"To our beloved son Michael Allen Boyle: you were a gift to us from the moment you were born. We both treasured you through all of your short life. You will always be remembered and can never be replaced. Everyone felt a great level of trust with Michael. Your mother and father will always love you and cannot wait to see you again." -Joni, Mother
"He will be survived with his friends and parents, Joni Spade and Allen Boyle. We'll miss him." -Allen, Father
"He would tell me how good I would be over there [over seas]. Everyone would ask me why I joined the army? Mike would tell me, 'So you can replace General McChrystal. You were the best of all us."" -Travis M.
"He would do anything for you. If you needed something handled, he would handle it. He welcomed any and everyone with open arms. Everyone got respect from him. He would always fight over the stupidest things and always win. He never turned his back on you. When you were down and out, he was by your side. He made everyone a better person. He saw everyone's good side. He always had a plan. He made us who we are." -Aj R.
"'What did he want us to do?' -Sean G… 'Whatever we wanted. Always do better. That's all he ever pushed me to do.'" -Dillon Q.
"Mike was an outstanding man who always saw the best potential in everyone. He was more supportive than anyone I had ever met. I would have done anything for this man, along with every single person he had an impact on in his short life. Thank you for believing in me when everyone else gave up on me." -Matt R.
"He lived ferociously. He was a champion in all regards: scholar, gentleman, professional partier, son, and friend. He pushed our potential beyond our preconceived limits. He had a strong head and stronger heart. We were boys and then men together. Legends never die. We love you eternally." -Kyle Y.
"To infinity and beyond! B-YAHHH!" -Michael Allen Boyle
Finally, please note that friends and family set up a fund in Michael's honor to aid in the success of underprivileged youth in athletics programs. Please contact any Wells Fargo Bank to make a donation.

Updated: Wed 3:50 PM, May 29, 2013
RENO, NV - The man who shot his friend to death two years ago will not go to prison.
Matthew Mahaffey was sentenced Wednesday after pleading guilty to voluntary manslaughter.
He will not go to prison, as prison time of 22 to 96 months was suspended as part of the sentence, as was a consecutive sentence for a deadly weapon enhancement. However, he will have to serve nine months in the Washoe County Jail as part of five years probation. He has to report to jail by 5PM Thursday, May 30. He also has to pay restitution and fees.
It was July of 2011 when he shot his friend Michael Boyle. Mahaffey was waiting to pick Boyle up outside the Aces Ballpark when he fired his gun, thinking someone was trying to break into his truck.
