“I met Michael (traveling man) just last year and became fast friends enjoying paddleboarding or a glass with him at Gil’s. The conversations we shared were heartfelt and real. It saddens me to know how many will never experience his kindness.”

“I worked with Mike at Cincinnati Children's Hospital. He was an amazing guy! He contributed to our leukemia research in countless ways, and his leadership in the Division was instrumental in compelling more clinicians to partner with researchers. My heart aches for the number of people in pain right now. I wish I could help. My condolences to all.”

James Bower wrote a sympathy message

“We were shocked and saddened to hear of Dr. Absalon's passing. My son's pediatric physician, we only had reason to meet with him a few times, but each time his intelligence and deep care for his patients was absolutely clear. We are also very good friends with one of his young cancer patients for whom he has been THE rock throughout what has been a very emotional and difficult situation. In a medical system dominated by time keeping, he took his time. He will be deeply missed.”
