Smith, Arkansas to Othel and Margaret (Collins) Gamble and passed away on January 13, 2021 in Spiro, Oklahoma at the age of 72.    He enjoyed all sports especially football which he was very successful at.  Mike was an excellent lineman and an excellent coach as well.  He always made sure his players were well prepared for the game as well as life in general.  He also liked telling stories and hearing about other people’s future goals in life.  Farming was his life but the best part of it was just driving around the bottoms stopping and talking to people.
