Mike was a graduate of Coffee High School and UNA. He was retired from Reynolds Metals and was a volunteer fireman for many years with Mid-Lauderdale Volunteer Fire Department.

The family would like to express their appreciation to the staff of Kindred Hospice for their loving care and to the volunteers of Mid-Lauderdale, who were always there for him.
