Eulogy given by Amy Godwin, Mike's sister

I wasn't sure where to start when I asked to give Mike's Eulogy. I'm obviously very sad at his passing and wasn't sure what to say.

lots of thought, and so many possible topics ranging from Star Trek to Dungeons and Dragons, I decided to focus on 3 things:
his sense of fun and humor
his compassionate nature and his family
that he was a scholar and traveller

Michael had a wonderful sense of humor and fun, and often liked to torture me, his younger sister with it. Some of my friends in the church today probably remember the stories of the mummy that was hanged over our bunk beds or the Mr. Met doll that was possessed. Or, the time when he tape recorded a good ten minutes of silence followed by a small voice saying "help me, help me" and left the recording in my dresser at bed time. I embarrassed myself, and many others on multiple occassions, as he had an uncanny ability to do an impression of Jack Nicholson in the Shining which always made me scream. Even as an adult on the way to my wedding! To say Mike had a quick wit would be an understatement - he had a great sense of fun and loved to banter. He always loved to chat and laugh and I will miss that.

In addition to Michael's wonderful sense of humor, he also had a deep sense of compassion. During the last few weeks I have been struck by how many lives Michael touched in his 49 years; almost all of the stories I hear are of how Mike helped someone at school or in life as a friend. He was a good son to my mom and dad, a good uncle to my children and a great older brother. He also leaves behind a beautiful daughter Tara with whom he was completely enamoured. His capacity to love her and play with her whenever he could always amazed me - he loved to be completely dedicated to entertaining her at all costs. I will miss watching the joy in both of them as they played together.

Lest you think my brother was all fun all the time, let me remind you all of how much of a scholar he was. Mike was proud to graduate with an BS in Physics from SUNY Albany; an MS in Physics from U MASS Amherst and a Masters in International Relations from Princeton University. Mike spoke beautiful French, went to school in Dijon, lived in Paris and was an avid traveller. Mike was passionate about seeing the world and managed to visit France, Spain, England, Ireland, Scotland, Belgium, all over the United States, and of course India in his travels. My husband referred to my brother the other day as a Renaissance Man. He was highly educated in Math and Physics, spoke fluent French, was a wonderful writer who had published works and an accomplished world traveller. Very few of us could attach as many titles to our lives.

I will forever see my big brother coming to rescue me after I had I fallen backwards off a wall and landed a good 10 feet below. I can see him clearly jumping over the wall and scooping me up in his arms to carry me to safety. That is the big brother I will miss everyday - except maybe for the Shining thing as that still scares me.

Thank you.

Michael H. McGovern
30, 1965 - 28, 2015

Mike was born a New Yorker, but saw himself as a citizen of the world. As a young boy growing up in Manhattan, he loved exploring the maze of backyards behind his building and beyond with his friends. As he got older, the scope of his explorations expanded to include other neighborhoods and ultimately Washington Square Park in Greenwich Village where he and a good friend joined the outdoor chess competitions. Mike once told his family that when competing he and his friend had learned to hold up to ten advance chess moves in their heads, a skill honed no doubt in the quarter-a-game contests they used to play on the steps of Mikes building. Later, whether it was arranging to spend summers working in Paris or the next move on his career path, Mike always knew where he was going. And the going was what he enjoyed the most.

He loved to travel. His trips away from home began early with preteen and early teen summers spent in Vermont with the family of a close friend. During those long, leisurely summers a deep love of nature and the environment took root in this city kid bred amid the noise, hustle and diversity of Manhattan. Later, that love was reinforced by two-week camping trips with his father and sister through upstate New York, New England and eastern Canada. Those experiences, which he often talked about, later led him to take a six-month break from university studies to work as a Park Ranger, in New York City, of all places. As an Urban Park Ranger, Mike gave educational public talks and school presentations about nature, the environment, and park history; performed park nature surveys; and patrolled park grounds. He had already taken a three-month driving trip across country with a college friend after graduation, spent a summer studying in France, and continued...
