Micheal (Mike) Wayne Bice was born to Melvin and Jean (Pannell) Bice on August 22, 1950, in Decatur Al Alabama. He graduated from West Morgan High School in 1969. Soon after graduating, he married his high school sweetheart, Linda (Nix) Bice; he was a loving husband to her for 54 years. Mike spent most of his career working at 3M. Although working long hours, he always made time for family and was active in the lives of his children. After retiring from 3M in 2007, Mike enjoyed spending time with his family (especially his grandchildren), playing golf, traveling with his “forever friends”, and watching Alabama football.
A gregarious, kind-hearted, and generous man, who was always willing to help in any way he could, Mike had always expressed a belief in God and publicly professed his faith in Christ in August 2024. He will be remembered as a loving husband, father, pawpaw, brother, a loyal friend, and a faithful man.
Those serving as pallbearers will be Caleb Jones, Tommy Cocke, Shannon Waits, Robert Jenkins, Mark Nix, and Charles Nix. Honorary pallbearers Onnis Terry, Bruce Kimbrell, Neal Banks, and Donnie Rice, his forever friends.
