Mike relocated with his family to the north Mobile County area as a young teenager and graduated from Satsuma High in 1967. A devoted, hardworking man, he served as a boilermaker with Local 112 for many years before joining International Paper, where he worked for over twenty years before returning to the boilermakers, where he retired.
He is affectionately remembered as a true provider: a charitable man who took care of his family. In his younger years, he raced a 1969 Charger and enjoyed hunting and fishing. He loved his family, and he loved the Lord. He will be missed by all those blessed to have known him.
