Mike and I met in an improv class a couple years ago - I remember being struck by his talent and thinking “I gotta know this guy!”

Mike had an electric presence on stage, and god was he hysterical. It was always a joy to watch his act. He loved comedy and could hang with the absolute best of them.

Above all - he was a wonderful friend. Always quick with a supportive word, always ready to help lift up and encourage others. I will miss him and the times we had together dearly. 

He truly was one of a kind.

Michael was one of the most talented people I've worked with. I saw him have this set at The Icehouse and I knew I was in the presence of an artist. I know he hadn't been doing stand up that long and am so glad he did this thing he was born to do. He got to have all these incredible experiences in this last year or so. He's going to come back in some way and do stand up again. He's too good not to.

May God cover you and your family in a blanket of love.  Rest in Peace, Mike.

Michael and I were in an improv class together. What an incredible talent! Such wit and astute perspective of the world. He’ll be sorely missed.

Michael and I met in an improv class. He was always the sweetest and most supportive person in the room. Hilarious, spontaneous and ever optimistic. 

Micheal it was a joy to have met you and to call you a friend. Sending my condolences to his family and loved ones.

Mike was a great guy. He always told funny personal stories with such great conviction and unique perspective. The last time I saw Mike was at a bar watching the vice presidential debate. He was interviewed by a tv newscaster, and gave his impassioned perspective just like he always did in improv or at the bar. He brought a lot of joy into the world and I’m glad I got to know him. My condolences to his family

I only met Michael briefly last year, but he was an incredibly kind and funny guy. I could tell he loved improv and had boundless enthusiasm for comedy. I wish I had made it out to one of his shows. I'm so sorry for those who knew him better. He was such a light.

Mike was on fire the night this photo was taken. His set won the audience over in seconds. I’ll never forget the electric feeling in the room when he came alive on stage as he performed his bits about improv and his family, bringing a full house to laughter over and over again with just a microphone and his unique point of view.

I’m so lucky to have crossed paths with Mike through improv. He was a hilarious standup comedian with such a unique voice. He was also a great friend. Once I was complaining about something stupid before improv, and after practice he asked me to share more because he wanted to make sure I got to vent and even shared his own vent to make me feel better. Just a small memory but it captures what a sweet person he was. My thoughts are with him and his family, I’m so sorry for your loss. This is unbelievably sad. He will be missed by many.

Michael and I met in improv class. He was one of the kindest and sweetest guys I’ve ever met. Always so thoughtful and grateful. Praying for him and his family during this time. So heartbreaking to hear. He was truly a joy to speak to every time I saw him at a show. Will really really miss you Michael. You were a really great friend.  -Weston Woods

Michael was the first person to reach out when we were slated on the same comedy evening.  He didn’t know me at all but he reached out and extended himself and kind words to make me feel more welcome.  He continued to be such a sweet and supportive person the short time I knew him.  Sending love and prayers to his family and friends.

It was an absolute gift to have Mike Yun in my Comedy Class. I really understood how special and unique a talent he was. I’m sending my heartfelt love and condolences to his family and everyone who knew him. It is a true loss. -lesley wolff
