Michael Behring was my first husband. I´m so blessed because he is the father of our daughter Katherine Renee Behring. He was an entrepreneur who wasn´t seeking riches but was the epitome of his father and his mother seeking truth and God consciousness. His death may have been untimely but as life has proceeded I believe he was lucky to die young.

Michael, to think 20 years have passed. I will forever hold you in my heart as the best brother-in-law anyone could have ever hoped for. I remember those early days, you teaching as a young adjunct professor at Florida Atlantic University, while duly taking graduate courses. Yet, your kind and joyful spirit found the time to share with us your great love for music, creating many happy memories at your home in Tamarac with Nancy, friends and toddler Renee finding her way up to the highest shelf of music albums lining the living room wall. Those were such fun and happy times. With a twinkle in your eye, you brought so much joy to so many during our early days in Fort Lauderdale. You are in my heart forever.

Michael Behring was a genius in "the art of the deal". He had many hobbies and was an avid collector of musical instruments, albums, vehicles art books and more. He loved his life and was always on the go, often traveling from one Coast to the other simply to hear a live music performance. He was also continuously seeking spiritual knowledge through reading books on Spirituality. His life was full though his passing untimely. Sant Kirpal Singh said, upon meeting him "He is a beautiful soul who was born with a silver spoon in his mouth". Richly blessed in life and in Spirit always.

Dear Michael,



I will think of you every time I

play with vinyl! You are forever loved and remembered. I know you are jamming with your friend (the great bass guitarist whose name I can't remember)! Peace and Love,

Your friend, Gina

Michael, I can only say that there should have been more time. It is hard to believe that you will never get another chance to be the man you should have been. Rest my friend, for your time has come to it's end.
