It was a remarkable gesture for someone so young, so full of life.

Michael Janasik is pictured as an angel watching over his family in this 2010 drawing titled “My Family,” created by his younger brother, Robert Behl, now 11.And it was one that two years later would save the lives of five other people after Mikey died suddenly from an auto accident.

On July 13, 2009, Mikey was at a party in Winneconne and got into a vehicle with a man who, authorities learned later, had alcohol and marijuana in his system.
