Mike was an honors graduate from Glencoe High School class of 1993. He attended Freed-Hardeman University for two years and then transferred to Jacksonville State University where he was an honors graduate with a degree in marketing. After he graduated, Mike moved to Atlanta where he joined the AGMC, a men’s chorus. He was still actively participating in concerts. Mike made many loyal and lasting friendships with his chorus brothers and considered them family. When Mike moved back to Glencoe he became involved with the Theatre of Gadsden and performed in numerous plays, notably as a Pharaoh in Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat. He also appeared in The Diary of Ann Frank, among other productions.
Mike was best known for his wicked sense of humor and the ability to make everyone around him laugh. He loved Auburn football and was an authority on old classic movies. Above all, Mike loved his family and friends. His absence will forever leave a huge void in the lives of those who loved him.
