Mike was proud to be a Grammy winner and four-time Grammy nominee, a two-time CMA award winner, an IBMA award winner, a two-time ACM nominee and a multi-platinum, No. 1 hit songwriter and musician. Performing with his blues band at the Bluebird Café on Monday nights for over 30 years was one of his greatest joys.
Mike loved spending time with his family, fishing, and playing snooker with the “Knife Check” boys. He was known for his love of the Chicago Cubs and making people laugh with a good joke.
Mike is survived by the love of his life of almost 45 years, Janet Henderson and his beloved daughters, Lauren and Shannon Henderson of Nashville. He was preceded in death by his parents, Jim and Bonnie Henderson.
Visitation will be held in the sanctuary at Woodmont Christian Church on Wednesday, September 27, 2023 from 10am-12pm with a memorial service to follow. In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations be made to MusiCares at Musicares.org.
