Michael Mike Henry Waddle

and left me here to stay.

The memories of life will never go away.

The love he gave his kids and me,

the love that we received;

Will never go away, but will only be freed.

The love he has for Firefighting,

the love he had for others,

Was always given second row,

for the love he had for his lover.

The time he spent with his family and friends,

will never be forgotten.

For the love he gave out was always given, never ill gotten.

This is a poem for a man that should be honored and loved.

He was always about his wife Jeannette Waddle, sons; Sebastian Waddle (17) , Christopher Waddle (11) and Daughter Sebrina Waddle (15). His second love was that of a Firefighter/Paramedic for 21 years at the City of Greenacres. Even after Leaving Greenacres he continued to stay in the service field doing work as a Paramedic Armed Security Officer for Ballen lsle. Mike Waddle (50) was inspired to go into the Fire Service because of his older brother Charles(Dale or Tiny) Waddle. His brother who was a Firefighter as well, passed away in 1995 from a fire related injury.

Mike loved to be around friends and family and was the first person to help anyone in need. He was known for helping children the most. Mike loved to adopt a family for Christmas or he would do a Toy’s for Tots for kids with Cancer. If Mike was not giving to others he was working, or most of all spending time with his wife and kids. Mike loved to go to Disney with his family or just find anything to do as a family. And when spending time with friends, he made them more like family than friends. He loved to play golf, go fishing, enjoyed cigars and

coffee, and going to the gun range.

Mike would want people not to cry but to remember him as the fun party, playful guy he was.
