Mike served as Youth minister at 9th Street Church of Christ in Paducah, KY and Assistant Pastor at Jeremiah Missionary Baptist Church in Milwaukee, WI. Mike would eventually leave behind full-time ministry for secular work but never strayed from his devotion and service to the Lord.

He always had an infectious smile, a contagious laugh, and a dramatic sense of humor, usually in the form of storytelling. He was a lover of food and cooking and would often host gatherings at his home. He loved football, music, cars, dogs, and gaming.

He was preceded in death by his mother, Alice Moore Wilson.

Though Michael is no longer with us, the enduring impact of his spirit and the memories he created will continue to resonate in the hearts of those he touched.

2 Corinthians1:3-5 (NIV): Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves receive from God. For just as we share abundantly in the sufferings of Christ, so also our comfort abounds through Christ.
