Mike was an avid follower of sports and always had an opinion about the Aggies, the Astros, and the Apaches. He was a long-time active member of Midway Baptist Church, where he co-led his Sunday School class and sang in the choir. Mike loved following the many activities of his kids and grandkids, from music to sports, to church, and scouts. He also loved any family get together. He was often the first to arrive and would let everyone know if they were late. Mike loved to have a good time by joking with his family members and friends and will be sorely missed by all.
