Born on January 6, 1949, in Poteau, Oklahoma, Mike lived a life rooted in family, service, and community. He deeply enjoyed spending time with his family, especially his many nieces and nephews, all of whom looked up to him. Michael was a longtime member of the Bokoshe Lions Club and had a true passion for helping others and supporting his community.
An avid sports fan, Mike was especially devoted to the Bokoshe basketball teams, faithfully attending games for many years and even being named “Fan of the Year.” He was also a lifelong supporter of the Dallas Cowboys and the St. Louis Cardinals.
Mike was a proud veteran who received several accommodations. Including the National Defense Service Medal, Good Conduct Medal, Bronze Star Medal, Army Commendation Medal, Sharpshooter Marksman, Vietnam Service Medal with 2 Bronze Stars, and the Vietnam Campaign Medal. He continued to support fellow veterans throughout his life through various charities and organizations. He retired after a long career at a furniture factory and later completed his working years as an exemplary security guard.
He was known for his kindness, humor, dedication, and infectious laugh. Michael found joy in the simple things in life—sports, music, and, most of all, time with his loved ones. His love and loyalty to his Mother and Dennis, as well as his brother and sister, were immeasurable. He mentored and supported all of his nieces and nephews throughout their lives and will be deeply missed by all who knew him.
