Michael Henry Markham

Michael was a family man and he loved to care for them. He was a great provider and was a kind-hearted man. He was very giving, generous and loving. Along with his many attributes, he was the kind of man who would give you everything he had if you were in need. He enjoyed being outdoors, whether it was hunting or fishing. His career in Avionics in the Coast Guard, lead him to work for Lockheed Martin. He also loved cooking breakfast for his wife, Mina, whom we was married to for 26 loving years. He would often serve her breakfast in bed. His family was important in his life. He retired early, to help care for his mother-in-law, Mercedes. Michael will always be remembered for the incredibly loving man that he was.
