Most people call it just being a boy, but for Big Mike, that endless energy followed him throughout his life. He was a
man of action and couldn't be still. He was born in Ohio, raised in Florida, and lived in Alabama, Michigan, and Tennessee as an adult. His zest for life and sense of humor gave Big Mike an unbreakable spirit, and he never got too busy for others. All in all, Big Mike was a wonderful man who brought joy to everyone he met. He loved and was loved by so many. His presence and influence will be dearly missed.

A Celebration of Life will be announced at a later date.
