hey daddy we miss you so much we love you tell grandma and grandpa hey and I love the .
I will always remember Mike and Dub running around at school acting crazy. He was a good guy then and I'm sure he was now. The WHHS class of 1977 is much too young to die!! God Bless.
Jerry so sorry to hear bout mike just found out today i will always remember the great times we had if you need anything brother please let me know
Missy & family,
I'm continuing to pray for you all that God will help you and give you the strength to heal. If you need me you know you can always send me a message on FB.
Mike will be greatly missed by all. He was a good man and a blessing to his family. While we mourn at the absence of his presence here, we can rejoice in knowing we will see him again someday. It is comforting to know that he is in no pain and is rejoicing right now with our Lord. May you find peace and strength in the arms of Christ. Praying for you all. Love and blessings to you!
Danny my son Andy knew Michael in way of business.Andy works for Smith ford and we live in Conway now.My prayers are with your family during this time.
To Missy and Family,
All our thoughts and prayers are with you during this most difficult of times in the loss of your family. Mike was a good man, a good friend to all, and he will be remembered just that way.
Mike will be sorely missed. You are in our prayers. God Bless

My prayers go out to all of Mike's family. Gladys Clark-WH All-Classmates Reunion Committee
Missy, My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
I am so sorry for your loss. We are praying for you and your families!
I will miss his sense of humor and have fond memories of our times together in high school
It is sad Mike is not on earth any more, but he is in a better place called Heaven. His back will not hurt him and he will not be in any kind of pain. Mike is in a lot better place than we are. You will see him again and next time it will be for eternity. We all will. Love you guys!
I am so sorry that Mike is gone. Just remember he is not lost. Everyone knows exactly where he is, and that is in Heaven with God. Everybody loved Mike. He was a big teddy bear like my dad. I will always remember him.I love all of you.
The Word tells us, "To be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord! I have no doubt Mike is walking around healthy, happy, and smiling at everyone he sees. Missy; Mike will always live on as long as you and the children talk about him and the glorious things you did as a family. You will see Mike in the eyes of Charlie and you will see him in the actions of his ‘little angel’, Tisha. Every time Becky gets on the lawnmower; you know she will be thinking about her dad and she can ride with pride! Melissa will remember her dad because of the gentleness he showed in helping to mold her life. Mike loved all you so much. His love engulfed your entire family as well as ours. Honey and I are here for you. We loved Mike and we love all of you. God Bless.
Missy… Mike was a blessing to everyone he came in contact with. I loved teasing him and making him squirm. His smile was the best! His presence will be greatly, greatly missed! Mike loved you and the children beyond measure. He was a loving husband, a caring father, and a wonderful neighbor. Your wedding day is still visible in my mind. It is no surprise to anyone who attended, the two of you were meant for one another. If there is such a thing as a “soul-mate,” Mike was yours and you were his. (After all….you both shared the same birthday date. How wonderful is that?) His life was lived honorably and compassionately. The Word of God tells us to, “Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it.” Mike did exactly that… The legacy he leaves his children will guide them through their lives forever. Mike built your home on the Solid Foundation of Christ, at the same time his mansion was being built for him in Glory. Eternal Life is his! No pain, no sorrow, no tears, and no worry. My sincere heartfelt condolences to you and your sweet family. I love you.
Thoughts and prayers to you and your family
