Mike, as he was affectionately known by his family and friends, was strong in his faith and walked with the Lord and wanted to share God’s love with others.

Mike served proudly in the United States Navy during the Vietnam War and received many medals including the National defense Medal, Good conduct medal and Armed Forces Expeditionary medal.
Mike loved to work with electronics and had many successful businesses throughout his life. He was incredibly talented when it came to wood working, electrical or anything that needed his special “Mike” touch. He was a wise and intelligent man and many people drew from his wisdom. It wasn’t uncommon for him to sit and chat for hours about God, life, his recipes, his momma’s cooking, his dogs, his beautiful wife and his grandchildren. Mike had enjoyed R.V. life with Maurine and Idaho held a special place in his heart.
