Message: To Jeff, Cindy, Karen, Amy, Katherine and children, and the rest of the Rutt clan... My deepest condolences on Mike's passing. This news has shocked and saddened me, and my heart aches so much for each of you. You are in my thoughts and prayers constantly. I am a better person for having known Mike (and each of you). My memories of times gone by with all of you many years ago will always bring me great joy. Beach trips, the Bahamas, eating escargot at the Lincoln House (I still can't believe you got me to eat snails and like them.), practically living on Lincoln Heights Avenue, cruising around with Mike in his bright blue beetle, gosh... I could just go on and on. Do you remember when the cops showed up at the house looking for Mike because they thought he stole gas at Sheetz? LOL! He hadn't taken a receipt, so he had no proof he'd paid. To this very day I take a receipt whenever I pump gas, and I chuckle each and every time. I have many other funny memories to share with you sometime. Mostly, I just remember Mike as being kind. There was never a mean bone in his body and he loved his family and friends with his whole heart. I have no doubt that he has been an amazing husband and father. He made the most out of his life... It was full and blessed, indeed. I believe that Mike continues to love and protect each of you. I think Heaven is much closer than many of us think, and that he is still very near to all of you. I will continue to hold each of you close to my heart. Love, Sue

Message: I really got to know Mike during Vav’s biology class when we were in 10th grade. He and I were lab partners and I remember specifically thinking how nice he was and how happy I was to get to know him. We hung out throughout high school, including on the swim team and in multiple classes. Our first semester of college I drove down to UMBC, and he and I spent the weekend hanging out, playing guitar, and going to the inner harbor. It was a fantastic break and he was a much-needed friendly face. While I haven’t seen him in a handful of years, it leaves a hole in me to know he isn’t around. I’m honored to have gotten to call him a friend.

Message: We are deeply saddened by the loss of Michael Rutt. Michael will be truly missed and we will include him in our daily prayers.

Message: Of course most of my childhood was spent playing with Amy, but I remember Mike listening to The Cranberries, always being there to see him off to dances, prom, graduations, his wedding (where I had my first glass of red wine, how fitting). I always wanted Mike to think I was cool, and when we grew up and both got jobs in IT I felt like I finally found a way to bond with him. Of course Mike and my husband became immediate friends and we enjoyed double dating with Mike and Katherine in KOP before they moved to FL. My favorite memories though are being at the shore with their whole family. To get to hang out for a week 24/7 is a blessing when you all live far away from each other. That is where this void will be felt the most. You were truly the best man, father, husband, son, brother, nephew, grandson, cousin any of us could ask for. Love and miss you, cousin <3 till we meet again.

Message: I first met Mike back in 2012 at work and I quickly learned two things about him. One he was the most talented developer I ever came across and two his character was of the utmost. So talented and trustworthy that I begged him to start a business with me. Mike, I thank you for our long conversations, and of course an occasional lunch at Panera just to catch up. You were one of the most genuine people I ever met and just truly great to be around. I am just so thankful to have had the opportunity to be your friend. My deepest condolences to your family.

Message: I knew Mike from Swim Team and Band. He was always so nice and would talk to anyone. You are all in my thoughts and prayers.

Message: I had the privilege of working with Mike at APG. Mike was a great guy, a great developer, and had an awesome sense of humor. I am heartbroken this morning. I give my deepest condolences to his family and friends.

Message: I had the honor of working with Mike on the project of Microsoft Office integration with mission command application back in 2011 to 2012. He was an awesome programmer, a hard worker and a supportive teammate. He was smart, but yet humble. He had a lot of fine attributes to be successful in many things. It's really a great loss to this world and much greater loss to his loved ones. May you find strength and comfort during this difficult times.

Message: We are so sorry to learn of Mike's passing. We have many sweet memories of him from Kindergarten thru Senior High. He was a special friend to our family. Your family has our deepest sympathy.
